"@KCEquityNow & @DecrimSeattle unified under the same mission: to improve conditions on the ground for marginalized communities."

The massive coalitions that consist of "Black, Indigenous and people of color led organizations" and "individuals ranging from data analysts to community builders and lawyers...developed a plan backed collectively by decades of research & community building.”

"@KCEquityNow’s platform centered around community ownership of land, along with acquiring funding to address the root of inequities."

"@DecrimSeattle consists of groups that had spent several years working on campaigns aimed at abolishing the incarceration system and policing."

Our coalitions "joined forces 'to best organize & leverage our already long-standing alignment to make structural, transformative change,' said Angélica Cházaro, @DecrimSeattle core organizer and University of Washington law professor who focuses on immigration and refugee law."
