New WA Black Lives Matter Alliance agenda aims for liberation
A statewide coalition is calling on lawmakers to address racism as a public health crisis in Washington state.
Members of the Washington Black Lives Matter Alliance say their legislative agenda is the next pressing step after this summerâs protests for racial justice.
The new alliance is a non-partisan coalition linked to Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County, but with steering committee members in the Tri-Cities area, Ellensburg, and Spokane as well.
It calls for celebrating Black culture, promoting economic freedom, and prioritizing the physical and mental health and safety of Black people. Also, honoring treaties âbecause Indigenous sovereignty and Black liberation are intertwined.â
