Mission and programs · 2023

Primary exempt purpose

The mission of Spokane Alliance United is to conduct training, public education, leadership development and research in order to build broad-based non-partisan civic power organizations in the Spokane region to address the fundamental common needs of the community including the inequities, and injustices facing low-income people and persons subjected to oppression or discrimination.

  • Community Organizing Training: We trained an estimated 30 people through our 2-day, 16 hour Foundations of Community Organizing Training in January 2023 and an abbreviated leadership training in May 2023. We trained over 50 leaders and community members through the five-part, 10-hour Wrestling with the Truth of Colonization Training in November and December 2023, followed by in-person local sessions with Indigenous-led organizations the following year. We supported a training of 30 plus university students at Whitman College in April 2023. We trained over 30 people from the Yakima area in September 2023 through a 2-day, 16 hour Foundations of Community Organizing Training... Public education: We conducted briefings within our member institutions to talk about our work around housing justice, indigenous relations, and quality jobs, with volunteer leaders sharing their stories around these issues and engaging three faith congregations, Salem Lutheran, Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane, and the West Central Abbey, in better understanding the impact of these issues in the community... Leadership Development and Citizen-led Research: We developed the capacity, skills, and critical thinking of our staff, volunteer leaders, and research action teams through a variety of trainings including: Leaders Retreat in December 2023 with 31 people, to set a direction on racial equity and strengthen our institutions through core teams. Senior Organizer participation in a two day Organizer's Institute Retreat with staff organizers from across the Western United States in December 2023... Building on our work to engage those who live, work and worship in the West Central neighborhood, we provided bimonthly training and mentorship to the Housing Equity Action Research Team to conduct citizen-led research, community outreach and doorknocking, and power analysis on solutions to the affordable housing crisis in West Central and city-wide.
