Last month over 1,000 of you came to 23rd and Union for Re:Union on Union – can you come back to the block to patronize the corner’s Black-owned businesses?

August is Black-owned business month and as we continue our work to end displacement in the Central District, it’s a great time to put our support into action.

The CD is experiencing a Black business renaissance – not by accident, but as a result of the advocacy and direct action of organized community members to make sure our presence is permanent, not just remembered.

The 23rd and Union corridor’s Black-owned, brick and mortar businesses include:
Adey Abeba
Avole Coffee
Central & Mane
Communion R&B
Earl’s Cuts & Styles
Jake N Friends Pet Services
Jerk Shack Kitchen
Made Space
Marjorie Restaurant
and The ReSole 206

Celebrate Black business month and find your new favorite on Union, Cherry, Yesler or Jackson!

Our mission is to end Black displacement through community land ownership – so why do we host cultural events?

From hosting Juneteenth and Re:Union on Union to being a proud sponsor of Umoja Fest and Nia Fest, ACLT has been part of ensuring that this summer’s community calendar has been full and vibrant.

We know that when Seattle’s Black culture is reflected and protected, we institutionalize the Black traditions that create cultural continuity.

Read more about how our approach to cultural preservation is at the heart of our mission and holistic vision of a Black and thriving Central District: https://www.africatownlandtrust.org/we-party-with-purpose-ensuring-black-culture-is-reflected-and-protected-in-seattles-central-district/
