Today is the big day!
2pm rally at Westlake Park to demand @SeattleFdn
- Stop grants to the Seattle Police Foundation & rightwing organizations
- Raise investment in blk & indigenous communities
We'll be joined by coalition partners @DecrimSeattle, @KCEquityNow and the Engage Team
Speakers:
@raadzzi
@NikkitaOliver
@SheraeForState
@eyesonthestorm
...and more!
MC: @babychickan
Music by Rise Up! Action Band
Demands:
-No More Charity for Cops! Stop grants to SPF
-#PayTheFee! $1.6m to blk & indigenous groups (2x past donations to SPF
-Spend Down! Stop hoarding wealth/providing tax shelters & circulate money in the community during this time of crisis
We're in a great position to strike a blow against the Seattle Police Foundation, which has gotten 10-20% of its revenue from @SeattleFdn grants in recent years.
At the same time, we can make a big win for Black & indigenous organizations underserved by the philanthropy
We need a big turnout today to make that happen.
@SeattleFdn is feeling the heat. Let's turn it up!
See you at Westlake 2pm!
If you can't make it out to our event due to time or distance, there are lots of other rallies going on around town before or after.
