People's Budget Seattle is soliciting votes for proposals they have received across five focus areas (see their Voter's Guide). UUC’s Acting for Racial Justice Team is encouraging members of our community to vote for the proposal to fund a Duwamish Youth Center.

The funding for the Duwamish Youth Center would be used to build a community center designed for urban native youth who are facing challenges. The center would facilitate connections within the urban native community, while extending a warm welcome to individuals from diverse backgrounds, and serve as a hub for youth empowerment, cultural preservation, and community cohesion. By nurturing the potential of urban native youth, preserving Indigenous heritage, and fostering connections between diverse community members, the Center will contribute to a stronger, more inclusive community.

Vote for this proposal (and others—you may vote for up to four) at People's Budget Seattle.
