The Samuel E. Kelly Ethnic Cultural Center is currently accepting workshop/session ideas for our annual Diversity Leadership Conference (DLC) happening Friday, February 21st from 3-7 pm.

DLC is an annual event that is intended to showcase the multiple ways in which leadership lives in our communities. This year, we will focus on highlighting UW student voices as they co-facilitate workshops with a mentor. The theme of DLC 2020 is The Personal is Political: Showing Up for Ourselves and in Solidarity. The theme is meant to reflect and pay homage to the intersectional work of feminist womxn of color. Additionally, with the U.S. Presidential Elections happing in the year 2020, we hope participants can engage in conversations of activism/advocacy for themselves and marginalized/targeted communities.

DLC workshop ideas should attempt to answer or engage with the following questions: How do we engage in community/coalition building? How do we build communities of success? How do we bring other people to our table? How do we engage/recognize our privilege? What do you do when you feel like you don’t “fit in” to your community?

The DLC Planning Committee is interested in ideas that explore these questions through theoretical and/or practical perspectives (i.e. such as your own personal experience).

Additional themes can include:

• Social Justice
• Identity Development
• System Wellness
• Safety and Security
• Telling Your Story
• Finding Community

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the ECC Coordinator for Student Leadership, Angelica Gutierrez, directly at agutie@uw.edu. Thank you for your time and consideration.

My name is Shawna Upton and I’m the Recruitment Director with the Student PIRGs.

I’m reaching out to see if you can spread the word about our upcoming early application deadline on November 1st.

The Student PIRGs are hiring organizers to work on issues like protecting our environment, moving our country towards renewable energy and zero waste, and strengthening our democracy.

Our organizers work full-time to provide students the training, professional support and resources they need to move our country forward while gaining campaign skills and being trained by some of the top organizers in our country.

Students are often at the forefront of movements to build a better future for our country. Whether or not those students make real progress depends on whether they are organized, have the skills to be effective and a strategic plan to get things done. The Student PIRGs have been working for over 40 years to amplify the power of student activism, and help students tackle some of the country’s most pressing problems.

Here are just a few of the victories the Student PIRGs have worked to accomplish this year:

• We helped more than 30,000 young people register to vote, made over 1 million GOTV contacts, and protected students’ right to vote at the ballot box, which all contributed to an unprecedented increase in youth voter turnout in 2018.
• Our field team in California channeled the national energy around climate solutions into their SB100 campaign and pushed the largest state in the country to commit to 100% renewable energy.

In Connecticut, our students organized locally to ban plastic bags at the University of Connecticut and then advocated for and won a statewide ban on single-use plastic bags!

Questions? Email: jobs@studentpirgs.org

I am passing along this volunteer opportunity — Entre Hermanos is an LGBTQ Latinx organization here in Seattle. Their services include HIV/AIDS prevention, immigration advocation, community building, and civic engagement.

Each year, they host a Day of the Dead gala — this year, it will be on November 2. They’re in need of volunteers to help put on this event (e.g., work coat check, helping make flower arrangements, set up/clean up, and more).

If you’re interested/available, please complete this form to sign up!

My name is Cheyenne Stolmeier, and I work with United Way of King County’s Free Tax Preparation Campaign. You have probably already heard about our Volunteer Tax Preparer opportunity, but we have another very exciting volunteer opportunity that would be perfect for your students. With the 2020 Census coming up, our Census and Benefits Navigators will also serve as a resource for community members to get information and help while completing their Census Questionnaires. Would you please share the below opportunity with students and colleagues?

“In addition to preparing taxes, United Way’s Free Tax Preparation Campaign helps to connect individuals and families to savings opportunities and public benefits they may not have known were available to them. This year, volunteers will also have the exciting opportunity to ensure clients are prepared to accurately and confidently complete the 2020 Census Questionnaire. This is an exciting and hugely important role that will help guarantee an accurate representation of our communities, particularly in already marginalized populations, such as immigrant communities and communities of color. An accurate count and representation will help ensure that critical public resources remain available for those who rely on them most.

United Way’s Free Tax Campaign has been making a huge impact in the community for the last 17 years, and we need your help to see it grow. Volunteers can pick from 33 tax sites throughout King County! There’s bound to be a site conveniently located near your home, work, or school!

Our volunteers develop practical skills, network with community, and most importantly, make a huge, tangible impact. Last year, our volunteers secured $30.1 million in refunds for the community and made over 4,000 referrals to additional services like financial coaching, Basic Food, and utility discount programs. This year, our goal is to reach 25,000 clients, and we need your help to make it happen!

The volunteer commitment is only 3-4 hours week from January to April. We provide free, comprehensive training. To get more information and register, students can visit www.uwkc.org/taxvolunteer. Please also share this with friends and peers!”

If you are interested, I would be more than happy to meet with you in person, speak over the phone, or even speak briefly with your students in class. Whatever it takes to fully support your students in making the most of this opportunity, I can do. Let me know if you would like flyers or posters sent to you.

I look forward to working with you, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,
