We were honored to host Aaron Dixon, a founding member of the Seattle chapter of the Black Panther Party, as the keynote speaker for our panel on building mutual aid groups. The panel included representatives of Stop the Sweeps Seattle, Greenlight Project and The Long Haul Kitchen. Panelists shared their recent work including the experience of building mutual aid in their communities. Audience members were inspired to find (or expand) our own roles in mutual aid for our community!
Mr. Dixon had a limited quantity of his book, My People Are Rising, available for purchase.
