SUMMARY:Non-Profit Learning Series: What’s the backstory of non-profits?
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the history and mission of non-profits with SVP Seattle Partners and community leaders Regina Elmi and Stephanie McLemore Bray. Regina is the Executive Director of Supporting Partnerships in Education and Beyond\, and Stephanie is the Chief Engagement Officer at the Seattle Foundation. \nABOUT OUR NON-PROFIT LEARNING SERIES\nThis fall\, we are deep-diving into how non-profits are changing to center the voices of our Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color communities. The three-part series will each feature an hour-long presentation and conversation for Partners and community to learn together. Whether you are new to non-profits or seasoned in the sector\, you’ll gain new information and contribute to the conversation. Each of the hour-long sessions will feature SVP Seattle Partners and non-profit leaders sharing their wisdom and experience. The first session will focus on non-profit history and mission\, in What’s the Backstory of Non-Profits? The second session will feature a conversation on non-profit models and philosophy\, in Shedding the Charity Mantra\, and the third session will delve into non-profit boards and governance to answer the question Who is Robert\, and why are we following his rules? Join for one session\, or better yet\, all three.

Join Hand in Hand\, the Domestic Employers Network; Casa Latina; the Day Worker’s Center; and SVP Partner Jordan Goldwarg on October 6 at noon to learn more about this essential workforce. This program will cover the historic exclusion of domestic workers from legal protections and rights\, local and national advancements and current campaigns led by workers\, and what role we all can play in supporting fair care in our homes and communities. \nMi hogar es el lugar de trabajo de alguien: justicia racial\, equidad de género y derechos de las trabajadoras del hogar\nLas niñeras\, las empleadas domésticas\, las empleadas domésticas y otras trabajadoras domésticas se encuentran en la encrucijada de la justicia racial\, de género\, de inmigración y de discapacidad. Únase a Hand in Hand\, Domestic Employers Network\, Casa Latina\, Day Workers Center y Jordan Goldwarg\, miembro de SVP\, para obtener más información sobre esta fuerza laboral esencial. Este programa cubrirá la exclusión histórica de los trabajadores domésticos de las protecciones y los derechos legales\, los avances locales y nacionales y las campañas actuales dirigidas por los trabajadores\, y el papel que todos podemos desempeñar para apoyar el cuidado justo en nuestros hogares y comunidades. \nReserve Tickets >\nSPEAKERS \nDana Barnett\nDana has been active in social movement organizations for equity and justice across various issues and campaigns. Prior to joining Hand in Hand\, Dana worked for over two decades as a mediator\, and race equity trainer\, both on staff for organizations like the Washington State Bar Association and the Mediation Center of Dutchess County\, as well as a consultant. Dana became involved with the domestic worker rights movement in 2019 and served as a member of the Seattle Domestic worker standards board where she was the chair. Dana is also a member of the Washington State Labor & Industry advisory board for ending the exclusion of domestic workers eligibility for workers compensation. \nDana and her partner are East Coast transplants in Seattle who are raising their child far away from family and support networks\, and deeply appreciate the domestic workers in their lives who make it possible to hold together a household and work full-time. She is excited to continue that work as the Washington Organizer for Hand in Hand\, and to keep building the domestic workers rights movement in Seattle centered around care\, interdependence\, solidarity\, self-determination\, and dignity. \nJordan Goldwarg\nJordan Goldwarg is the Executive Director of OneWorld Now\, a youth development program that promotes global citizenship through a combination of world language study\, leadership workshops\, and study abroad. Much of his professional career has been spent helping youth unlock the leadership potential that they innately possess. A former high school history teacher\, he was previously the Seattle Chapter Director of Kids4Peace International\, a non-profit organization that brings together Muslim\, Jewish\, and Christian youth from the United States and Israel/Palestine for leadership development\, civic engagement\, and social change projects. \nOutside of OWN\, Jordan volunteers with a number of organizations\, including the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network and Common Power (a nonprofit that connects Seattle-based volunteers to on-the-ground civic volunteer opportunities–like voter registration and candidate canvassing–in states around the country). He also serves on the City of Seattle’s Domestic Workers Standards Board. Jordan and his husband also enjoy taking advantage of the amazing outdoor opportunities around Seattle\, especially skiing (cross-country and downhill)\, running\, cycling\, and hiking. \nSilvia Gonzalez\nSilvia González is a mother and has been an immigrant domestic worker for about 15 years. Silvia has combined her work of cleaning houses with work as a staff member of Casa Latina for the last five years. This helps her see the real needs of her compañerxs domestic workers and to make sure that their voices can be heard and that changes can be achieved in this labor sector.  Silvia has also been part of the Board of Directors of the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) for three years\, where they are currently working on the Bill of Rights for domestic workers at the national level and the launch of Alia (portable benefits for workers who clean houses). Silvia played a very active role in the campaign to pass the bill of rights at the local Seattle level as an organizer for domestic workers at Casa Latina. Silvia is part of the standard board of domestic workers\, she is one of the co-presidents.

DESCRIPTION:Special Advocacy Affinity Group Meeting with guests Representative Noel Frame and Dr. Carolyn Brotherton \nIn this special meeting of SVP Seattle’s Advocacy Affinity Group\, we are hosting Washington State Representative Noel Frame and Dr. Carolyn Brotherton from the Economic Opportunity Institute to discuss wealth taxes in Washington. Following the presentation\, we will have a discussion about what role philanthropists and SVP Seattle have in advocating for taxes that work to change the racial wealth divide. \nAbout our guest speakers: \n \nState Representative Noel Frame \nShe has served in the Washington State Legislature since January 2016. She was motivated to run for office by a strong commitment to fully fund public schools by fixing our state’s regressive\, upside-down and unfair tax code. Born and raised in Washington state\, Noel is a former foster parent to two members of her own family. She is deeply committed to tackling the root causes of systemic issues facing families in crisis\, such as eradicating poverty and increasing access to quality healthcare. Noel works to give a voice to those who are often forgotten in policy conversations\, relying heavily on her nearly two decades of experience as an organizer to successfully navigate political systems. \nNoel is the Chair of the House Finance Committee and serves as Co-Chair of the Tax Structure Work Group. She also serves as a member of the House Appropriations and Community & Economic Development Committees. \n \nDr. Carolyn Brotherton \nCarolyn Brotherton holds a BS in Chemistry from Yale University and a Ph.D. in Chemistry and Chemical Biology from Harvard University. Before joining EOI\, she worked as the Government Relations Specialist for AFT Washington. Carolyn got into advocacy while helping to organize a union and negotiate a first contract for fellow postdoctoral researchers at the University of Washington. She interned with the Washington State Labor Council during the 2019 Legislative Session. Carolyn works on tax and higher education policy at EOI. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Letter From A Birmingham Jail discussion group
DESCRIPTION:Photo: A quote from Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail appears on the wall of the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis\, Tennessee. \nJoin the SVP Seattle community for a study group and discussion on Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail. The Letter from a Birmingham Jail is a timeless and powerful work that helped to propel the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. Initially written in April 1963 on whatever scraps of paper Dr. King could find while jailed for participating in non-violent demonstrations against segregation\, it served (and still serves) as a clear call to action for all U.S. residents who cared about racial justice and equity.  \nThe conversation will be led by Zenobia Jeffries Warfield\, an SVP Seattle Partner and the former executive editor of YES! Magazine. We will explore why the Letter was written (i.e. its purpose and goal)\, to whom it was addressed\, the impact it had on the struggle for civil rights\, and the legacy and learning it offers us today. \n  \nThis is a three-day series  \nMarch 16th 12:00PM-1:00PMMarch 17th 12:00PM-1:00PMMarch 18th 12:00PM-1:00PM
