A Day to Learn: Listen to, Learn from, and Amplify Local Black Voices

At this event, we learned a lot about Kirklands history of racism as well as heard personal stories of racism experienced by our Black community members. It is clear that our community has actively harmed BIPOC. So what are we going to do about it?

Let’s commit to doing anti-racist work in our own community every single day.

Let’s be accomplices. Let’s join the inter-generational fight for justice. Let’s use our white privilege to protect our BIPOC community members. Let’s learn from Black feminism. Let’s hold ourselves and others accountable.

Kirkland, as well as the rest of the eastside, must do better.

Thank you to for hosting, speaking, and putting this event together. And thank you to the rest of the speakers and organizers!
