Celebrating Two Years of Collaborative Community Wealth Building Strategies

This fall, we had the privilege of gathering with collaborators and project leaders from our Generational Wealth Initiative to celebrate and uplift the work of BIPOC-led organizations that are advancing Seattle’s Community Wealth Building framework. We collaborated with People’s Economy Lab [ https://peopleseconomylab.org/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ], Headwater People [ https://headwaterpeople.com/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ], and other City departments to work with communities of color to better understand the racial wealth gap in Seattle and identify solutions utilizing regenerative community wealth building strategies.
