Addressing racism: king county declared racism as a public health crisis in 2020, recognizing that governments need to acknowledge and respond by undoing the centuries of harms of systemic racism in our society and equitably invest in dismantling racism and protecting the health and well-being of black, indigenous and people of color so that all communities thrive. Envisioned jointly by community members and king county in august 2021 and launched in march 2022, the gathering collaborative is a group of trusted community members who are involved to uplift black and indigenous people and their communities those who are most directly harmed by racism. The members largely reflect these communities and have lived experience in these communities that they serve. One of the main goals of the gathering collaborative is to equitably distribute $25 million in investments to community service providers non-profit organizations, grassroot organizations with fiscal sponsors, and small businesses to support their growth and entrepreneurship in repairing the deep harms of racism worsened by the covid-19 pandemic, and bring healing, social and emotional stability, well-being, and restoration for black and indigenous people and their communities so that all people of color and all communities across king county thrive.
