District 5 Community Election Forums

About This Grant

We are a broad coalition of community members in Seattle's District 5 who are planning a series of three election forums to connect community members with candidates running for Seattle City Council District 5. These forums are planned for: Haller Lake (13055 1st Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98125) - Monday, June 5th - 7-8:30 PM Lake City (Location being finalized) - Tuesday, June 20, 2023 - 7-8:30 PM Zoom - Wednesday, July 12, 2023 - 7-8:30 PM We are focused on community building and education and do not and will not endorse or promote any specific candidate or candidates. Every eligible candidate will be invited to the forums. We expect to record all forums and make them widely available to community members who are not able to attend the live events. We would like to provide translation and interpretation services and security for the forums. The purpose of this grant application is to request funding for both. We hosted similar community-based election forums events in 2015 and 2019.
