Event Description:
This in-person session is an intentional space to shape how we, as Black and African-descended people, collaborate during this era of underground movement building. The session is focused on strategizing for the 2025–2026 school year with Black-identifying and Black-serving leadership. Together, we’ll build relationships, define shared culture, and align around emergent needs and possibilities.

Core outcomes of this session include naming Eldership and understanding the Landscape we’re navigating.

Who should attend?
Black-identifying and Black-serving leadership across East King County.
