Join us on December 16 from 4-6:30pm, for this virtual evening showcase highlighting our report, plus the work of four other organizations, to uplift the experiences of communities most impacted by COVID-19 and the culmination of our community-led data collection and storytelling project conducted over the past 12 months. Together we will learn about each project’s accomplishments and findings, and celebrate the work, learning, and wisdom found within King County communities whose experiences of the COVID-19 were shaped by systemic and historic racism and marginalization, and structural barriers to health and well-being. Register to attend here:

Join us as we highlight the work of five groups uplifting the experiences of communities most impacted by COVID-19.

¡El alcance del Immigrant Relief Fund (WIRF) fue tan grande que recibimos más solicitudes de las que podíamos aprobar con los fondos disponibles! ¡Y recibimos solicitudes de más de 226 ciudades de nuestro estado! Esperamos que la legislatura apruebe este paquete. Si se aprueba, WIRF recibiría una nueva inversión de $ 65 millones para financiar las solicitudes existentes.

Gracias Rep. Gregerson y Ormsby por luchar por estos fondos adicionales. ¡Estén atentos para más actualizaciones sobre la legislación para proporcionar beneficios de seguro de desempleo para todos en asociación con State Senator Rebecca Saldaña!

Legisladores proponen $70 millones adicionales en ayuda para una población que sufre desproporcionadamente de la pandemia.

Outreach of the Immigrant Relief Fund (WIRF) was so successful we received more applications than we had funding for from over 226 cities in our state! We look forward to the legislature passing this package. If passed, WIRF would receive a new $65M investment to fund existing applications!

Thank you Rep. Gregerson and Ormsby for prioritizing this investment. Stay tuned for more updates on legislation to provide unemployment insurance benefits for all in partnership with State Senator Rebecca Saldaña!

Legislators are proposing an additional $70 million in grants for a population disproportionately hit by the pandemic.
