Don't forget our Community Businesses

Help our Community Businesses in Seattle/King County! For over 50 years, The Seattle Medium, a Black-owned newspaper, has served our community by keeping us informed on issues and events that affect and enhance the quality of life of the African American, underserved, minority and other disenfranchised communities in the Pacific Northwest. However, this legacy of service is now in jeopardy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As an essential business, they are continuing to provide important news and information, both online and in their print edition, during this unprecedented crisis. And in the face of these new economic challenges, it is clear that The Seattle Medium newspaper must fight for its own survival. Donate what you can to The Seattle Medium Campaign Fundraiser here |

George Floyd protests spotlight need for police reform, even in times of coronavirus Seattle Times Teri Rogers Kemp is a defense attorney and co-chair of NAACP Seattle King County’s police accountability committee. She said the police department has not shown it can be answerable to the community. “How do you trust them to do it without oversight?” she asked. “We see across the country and right here in the city and in the state, the number of Black and brown people who are overwhelmingly in danger of the use of excessive force.” https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/george-floyd-protests-spotlight-need-for-police-reform-even-in-times-of-coronavirus/ 6/3/20200
City of Seattle withdraws motion to terminate Consent Decree The Seattle King County NAACP is relieved the City of Seattle did as we requested in making the right decision to withdraw its motion to terminate the Consent Decree. The NAACP agrees with the City Attorney that the City's best approach is to address those concerns that Judge Robart cited. Until the City meets its obligations to address the deficiencies in Police Accountability, it should not be released from Federal oversight. We will continue our demands and will be watching, working and listening to ensure the City of Seattle's and Seattle Police Department's full accountability. |
