Want to make a change in your community, but not sure where to begin? On March 16, we hosted a grassroots advocacy workshop focused on basic campaign planning, political strategy and coalition building. Workshop attendees brainstormed ideas and solutions around real-life examples affecting our communities.
The strength of the Seattle Neighborhood Greenways coalition is rooted in grassroots people power. We’re grateful to our incredible volunteers for all of our past successes and campaign wins!
