Federal judge to Seattle officials: ‘Too much knee-jerk, not enough forethought’ on police reform

The judge overseeing federal oversight of the Seattle Police Department and the monitor he appointed warned Tuesday that divisive politics are undermining court-ordered reforms and that inaction could send the department into a “deepening crisis,” further undermining public safety. -Seattle Times

Meeting the growing need for mental health professionals

Thanks in part to COVID-19, the demand for both mental health and addiction treatment has increased significantly, according to the National Council for Mental Well-being. Fifty-two percent of behavioral health organizations have seen an uptick in the need for services. Almost half of all Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American and LGBTQ+ individuals reported increased mental health challenges in the last year, but not many of them received treatment. The Council also cited a diminishing capacity for care because of the pandemic and that 54% of treatment facilities have had to close programs. - Seattle Times

Love Justice

So many of us long to take effective action on social injustice and the climate crisis but become paralyzed with fear and grief in the face of the vast scope of these challenges. You’re invited to join facilitators Vivien Sharples and Anna-Brown Griswold in a monthly group that gathers to feel, digest, and move through grief to empowerment.

On Tuesday, February 9th, please join Equal Rights Washington for our first ever virtual legislative Lobby Day.

Though it is disappointing to not be able to be together physically, this virtual event is an opportunity for LGBTQ advocates from across the State to participate in having their voices heard without the barrier of travel.

Love Justice

The pandemic has shaped and changed our lives, and has made it clearer than ever how our systems are letting us down. But together we have the power to rebuild, recover and make a better system. In 2019 renters, organizations, and advocates came together to pass Good Cause Eviction Protections under our Stable Homes campaign.

Upcoming Events

Love Justice

Power is not given or owned, it is built when we invest in our community. When we come together to take what we know, what we feel. Our anger, our pain, our knowledge, our resilience. We turn it into action by coming together, moving together, being joyful together and rising together.

When we rise together, we reclaim our freedom together. We make powerful change in our schools, our communities and our government. We liberate ourselves.

Following the Leadership of Lived Experience
Disabled leaders are at the center of DRW’s work to create systemic change and build a more inclusive, equitable community.
