Statewide Listening Tour Report

In 2023 and 2024, we conducted a listening tour to gather with our extended family — listening to and learning from Black folks who are actively dismantling systems and serving communities in ways that center Blackness and Black people. We offer this summary of what we heard as a tool and a guide to support ongoing conversation and action to further Black liberation and prosperity.

Black Well-being Report

This report is a love note to Black Washingtonians, written for us and by us, to accelerate change. We hope you discuss the data with others to support community organizing, direct resources, and inform policy and systems change.
