Advocating For Community, By Community

The Coalition addresses historic disinvestment and inequitable policies that have impacted our Black, Indigenous, and people of color community.
We’re guided by our values:
Community

What We Do
-
Advocacy
We forge connections with our community that will pioneer new Black, Indigenous, and people of color leaders to shape the future and legacy of our vibrantly diverse residents.
-
Affordable Homeownership
We provide support for systems, policies, and funding needed to bring affordable homeownership to Black and brown residents of Skyway.
-
Economic Growth
We counter gentrification in Skyway by working with our Black, Indigenous, and people of color community to accelerate small business development, provide access to job training, and build community wealth.
We’re honored to uplift our neighborhood and the people around us.
We’re a small but mighty team made up of community members who are passionate about uplifting Skyway.
Black and brown residents are the most impacted by systematic racism, oppression, and discrimination.
We aim to achieve equity for our Black and brown Skyway neighborhood through community-led collaboration. Get an inside look and a unique and personal take on what Skyway Coalition does.

Duwamish Land Acknowledgment
We want to acknowledge that we are on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present, and honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe. Acknowledgment is a simple way of resisting the erasure of Indigenous histories and working towards honoring and inviting the truth.
