Mission and programs · 2024

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: In March 2024, we hosted a 2-day (16-hour) Foundations of Community Organizing Training, where approximately 20 participants were trained in core organizing principles. Additionally, over 60 leaders and community members participated in two in-person Wrestling with the Truth of Colonization sessions. These powerful gatherings included a collaborative session with the Salish School of Spokane and Spokane Tribal Historian, Warren Seyler... Leadership Development and Citizen-led Research: Expanding our engagement in the West Central neighborhood, we provided ongoing monthly training and mentorship to the Housing Equity Action Research Team. This support enabled members to conduct citizen-led research, carry out community outreach and doorknocking, and perform power analysis related to affordable housing solutions-both locally in West Central and across the city... We also strengthened the skills and critical thinking of our staff, volunteer leaders, and research action teams through a variety of targeted trainings. Highlights included a training on congregational development for delegates from faith, labor, and community institutions, and a June community gathering focused on building deeper relationships and celebrating our collective work.
