Not only is Eastside For All an integral resource and connector for our Eastside neighbors through powerful and expansive racial and social justice changes along with direct community support, they are also a part of the King County Coalition Against Hate and Bias.

This coalition is an alternative to police reporting, which as the only largely shared reporting process many of us are told about, has led to countless under-reported and overlooked crimes that keep our community quiet, hurt and afraid.

The Coalition is a multi-racial, ethnic, and language coalition of 23 grassroots, community organizations representing immigrants, refugees, communities of color, veterans, LGBQTIA, seniors, youth, small businesses, farmers, community members and essential workers who have been excluded, and those with English as their second language.

These community organizations connect individuals who have experienced hate or bias crimes to resources, help with the reporting process, and gives our cities in East King County the accurate results, while allowing for fully anonymous reporting.

Pride Across the Bridge, an entirely volunteer LGBTQIA+ run organization, is actively addressing the needs of our q***r community and intentionally reshaping the narrative that Seattle has all of the resources, support and connections for our 2SLGBTQIA+ community. With only 2 weeks away until our debut event in 2020, our Q***r Holiday Potluck, PAB has been putting action behind the needs of our diverse rainbow community members.

Our dedicated work has not only brought about policy changes in cities, but it has also provided expansive opportunities for our local q***r-owned businesses and performers to connect with their clientele. We've witnessed major art installations come to life after putting out a call to action in our cities, and we've gathered the community to install our own visibility creations, thanks to our incredible partners at SPARK PIZZA, Woodblock, and Valley Mail. PAB has shared a record number of firsts on the Eastside...
-Q***r the Sky
-Rainbow Elder Breakfast
-Drag Workshop (debut show on Dec 1st!)
-Q***r Creative Connections
-Redmond's first and second Pride!
-Beyond Binary Connections
-Q***r Holiday Potluck
- LGBTQ+ D&D
-Q***r Vision Board and Floats
-Trans-cending Perspectives Panel
-Shes, Theys and G**s Comedy Night
-Pride Parenting Meetup
-Rainbow Row
-Self Defense Class
-PAB Goes to the Movies

PAB is led by community input, and aspires to make all spaces safe, accessible and free. As we approach 2024 with a list of needs shared by you, we seek support to continue our impactful work in breaking down barriers and emphasizing the closeness of our community. Join us in redefining the narrative – your community is not just in Seattle; it's right at home!

Whether it's dedicating your time to a local LGBTQIA organization, supporting q***r artists, or simply sharing a message of acceptance, every action, big or small, contributes to positive change.

This year, let's celebrate the diversity within our community and beyond. Extend a helping hand, donate to a cause close to your heart, or amplify the voices of those who need it most. Together, we can create a ripple effect of kindness and make Giving Tuesday a day that truly reflects the spirit of unity and love.
