Our Story
After five years of rabble rousing as a collective, there were next level goals and dreams that couldn't be realized without turning into a non-profit. We are starting off with Share The Cities Action Fund as a 501(c)(4) which allows us to engage in political advocacy, but means that your donation is not tax deductible - YET!
With your help, we hope to launch Share The Cities Education in early 2022. We have big plans for upcoming education workshops and community outreach to help lower barriers to increase civic engagement.
What are we working on?
- Relentless mobilization for housing stability efforts across the city and state.
- Broadening participation of community members in wonky land use process, like design review.
- Fighting for digital equity & a true digital commons through municipal broadband.
- Cities for everyone and abundant public bathrooms in Seattle.
What does your support mean?
- If we meet our goal, we will be able to fully compensate our staff's time to work on housing justice, public broadband and increasing civic engagement.
- If we exceed our goal, we will be able to hire consultants to support the work of the organization. We need to support our grant writers, accounting team, & bring in support for disability and racial justice consulting. These expenses are currently being paid out of pocket by our Executive Director.
- We would like to hire a community organizer in 2022 to support Share The Cities Education and will be pursuing grants for these purposes.
Your donation, at any level, will demonstrate broad community support.
If you're not able to give a financial donation, there are other ways you can help! Ask your friends with funds to support us. Post on social media letting people know how we've helped you learn to advocate for better communities. Host a lunch & learn for your organization or community and invite us to speak. Host a virtual house party -- we can help!
