WHERE:
Eritrean Community Center

WHAT:
An Advocacy & Action Panel
Our panel of housing advocacy experts will focus on actions community members can take to help make stable housing more accessible to communities of color in Seattle/King County. This session follows up on our education and awareness panel where we discussed issues that prevent people from finding housing — including mortgage default, eviction records and criminal histories — as well as the underlying role racism plays and how it affects people of color trying to secure stable housing.

Sponsored by Solid Ground's Anti-Racism Initiative (ARI), panelists for this forum include representatives from Solid Ground, Statewide Poverty Action Network and the Tenants Union.

Refreshments will be provided. For FREE childcare (in the house next door to the Center), please RSVP to antiracism@solid-ground.org or 206.694.6793.
