Members of Team We Run for Hunni BLM
More than 350 people participated in last weekend’s inaugural Challenge for Change Virtual 5K, part of the Edmonds School District’s Black Lives Matter Month of Action.
The event raised more than $7,300 for additional Black Lives Matter Year of Purpose events, such as Arts in Action on March 12. Arts is Action is a student talent showcase honoring student activism, hosted online through the Edmonds Center for the Arts.
The run organizer was Courtney Wooten of Suburbia Rising, described as an educational resource for progressive people in suburban and rural areas looking to bring passion and real change to their neighborhoods. Wooten said the event was created “to bring awareness and action on health and wellness both physical and mental especially for our communities of color and the Black community.”
