We invite you to join us for "A Conversation with Henry Louis Gates Jr." hosted by our trusted community partner, Homestead Community Land Trust, on Thursday, September 7th, at 7:30 PM at Town Hall Seattle. Come show your support for Skyway!
The conversation with Dr. Louis Gates is an opportunity for Skyway community members to be in space with an acclaimed cultural critic and institution builder whose perspective celebrates and affirms our current mobilization efforts towards prioritizing homeownership as a premier strategy in addressing gentrification and displacement.
Dr. Gates will engage in a dynamic discussion with local arts leader and communicator Vivian Phillips. This event promises to be an enlightening conversation touching upon the historical roots of present-day inequities, shedding light on Homestead and Skyway Coalition's crucial work to promote housing justice in King County.
Our community champion and King County Councilmember, Girmay Zahilay, will deliver remarks at the event, adding another layer of depth to the evening.
Skyway Coalition and Dare2Be purchased 100 tickets, which we offer free to our community and community partners. Transportation support is available to Skyway residents if needed.
Please register today to reserve your free ticket! Feel welcome to share with a friend or neighbor. Registration closes September 6th at midnight.
We are excited to share this special invitation with our community and the leaders who continue to advocate for affordable homeownership in Skyway. Thank you for your continued support of our mission. If you have any questions or need additional assistance, please reach out to us at contact@skywaycoalition.org.
