Kshama Sawant is running on a platform that includes Ending the Occupation in Palestine.
You can RSVP for this event here: https
You can donate to her here: https://www.kshamasawant.org/donate
Kuwaisiana is a bilingual alternative rock trio from Seattle-Tacoma, blending Arabic and English lyrics to create a unique sound that resonates globally. Led by +Aziz, whose Kuwaiti-American identity shapes the band’s music, Kuwaisiana explores themes of Arab identity, unity, and cultural bridging. Originally formed in New Orleans in 2016 as an 8-piece ensemble, the band evolved into a trio in 2022 with Yousef Shami (drums) and Brian Riedel (bass). Drawing from grunge, indie rock, funk, and punk, their music defies genre, addressing issues such as gentrification, climate change, and human rights. Through raw emotion and poetic lyrics, Kuwaisiana aims to foster cross-cultural understanding, while celebrating resilience and self-expression in the face of adversity. Their work continues to carve a space for Arab-American voices in the global music scene.

Gaza and Lebanon Fundraiser
2026-04-19 14:00 - 17:00 | Harissa, 2255 NE 65th St, Seattle, WA, 98115, United States
Join us at Harissa Mediterranean Cuisine to support the people of Gaza and Lebanon!
The people of Gaza continue to face an extreme humanitarian crisis marked by widespread displacement, unsafe shelter, limited access to clean water, and ongoing violence that puts civilians—especially children—at constant risk. Despite intermittent ceasefire periods, airstrikes, shelling, and extensive damage to infrastructure persist, leaving families without reliable medical care, safe housing, or sufficient food and clean water. With essential services stretched far beyond capacity, humanitarian aid remains a lifeline.
At the same time, communities in Lebanon are enduring heightened instability following recent attacks in Beirut and in the south of the country. These escalations have compounded an already severe economic and social crisis, leaving many families without access to critical resources, reliable healthcare, or safe living conditions. The growing humanitarian needs across Lebanon make support and relief efforts more urgent than ever. SCM and our clinic in Sidon represent one of the few NGOs still operating and providing aid in the area.
Join us for an afternoon of community, culture, and compassion with live music, dancing, performances, a silent auction, and delicious Middle Eastern appetizers.
All proceeds go to support relief efforts for the people of Gaza and Lebanon.

The Ride for Palestine is an annual fundraising project of the Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA). MECA works to protect the lives, rights, and well-being of children in Palestine and refugee camps in Lebanon. After over 78 years of ethnic cleansing, displacement, and attacks on their lives and livelihoods, Palestinians remain steadfast on their land and fiercely committed to the cause of freedom and liberation. Riding is an act of solidarity with Palestinian communities as they struggle to protect their children’s lives and their culture from erasure.
Not in the Bay Area, or can’t attend? No problem! You can still be a part of the movement by organizing your own Ride – or any activity. Choose your own adventure!
Ride for Palestine encourages you to participate however you are able, and welcomes the support of friends from all over in raising funds for families in Palestine, in the fight against occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing working to uproot Palestinians.

2026 International Day of Peace Surfacing Hope
2026-09-20 14:30 - 16:30 | Structures Brewing, 601 W. Holly St, Bellingham, WA, 98225
​Whatcom Peace and Justice Center is excited to announce the 2026 International Day of Peace! Recognized by the United Nations since 1982 and the City of Bellingham since 2017, this is a community-focused day of celebration that offers space to support our work in uplifting local organizers and connecting to global movements against violence and oppression.
International Day of Peace is WPJC’s main fundraising and educational event of the year, raising critical funds to support the ever more vital work of the Center in advocating for peace and against wars at home and abroad.
​
​This year, we’re celebrating with the theme: “Surfacing Hope”. Despite living in a time of deep economic precarity, fear of another global war, relentless AI intrusion, and institutions that betray the public trust, this year’s theme reminds us that hope is always there, often just beneath the surface; it is this hope that inspires creatives to keep producing art, whether in writing, painting, dancing, or organizing and building community
Amazing food, silent action and fabulous performers (including Instisaar) will be performing!

For many years, the Somali Family Safety Task Force has stood beside refugee, immigrant, and underrepresented families across King County. We are a community group, shaped by the people we serve, because real change starts with listening.
This September, we’d love for you to celebrate that journey with us at our 11th Annual Gala: Rooted in Hope, Rising Together. Held at the NewHolly Gathering Hall in Seattle, this gala fundraiser brings together good food, live entertainment, and real connection, but at its heart, it’s a celebration of resilience. It’s a night where survivors are heard, where families finally feel seen, and where our community comes together around hope for what’s next.
Our mission is to provide culturally grounded advocacy, education, and leadership programs built by and for the families we serve. Through this work, we help survivors of domestic violence heal, help young people find their voice, and help underrepresented families gain equal access to opportunity.
We would like to give thanks to our sponsor, Sound Transit, for helping us make this celebration possible.
Come celebrate over 10 years of service with us as we look forward to everything still to come.
