Raise Your Voice with Solid Ground!
Join us at our 18th Annual Building Community Luncheon, presented by Verizon. During this inspiring afternoon, we will share our work to end poverty and oppression and honor the experiences of our program participants. You are invited to work with us and raise your own voice for justice, equity and compassion!
Keynote Speaker: Ijeoma Oluo

After Party
New this year, the After Party is a unique twist on our traditional post-Luncheon meet and greet with the keynote speaker. Join us from 6-9pm on the evening of the Luncheon for live music, drinks, small bites and an in-depth conversation on race and poverty in Seattle with Ijeoma Oluo and Marcus Green, editor-in-chief and co-founder of the South Seattle Emerald.
