Soon we will hold our 8th Annual Honoree Dinner and Silent Auction and hope that you will participate. Our annual dinner is always a hit with close to 500 attendees last year and thousands of dollars raised for our coalition work.

This year we're honoring local activists committed to our goals of fighting for immigrant worker's rights, low-wage worker corporate accountability, workers impacted by the war, and the right to organize for all workers. This year's honorees are . . .

     

International Longshore and Warehouse Union
For leading the way by shutting down the West Coast ports on May Day to demand an end to the war in Iraq and an end to the war on workers here and abroad.

Real Change & Seattle City Council Member Nick Licata
For mobilizing the community to stop sweeps of homeless encampments in Seattle and promoting negotiations between the city and community members.

Laborers Northwest Regional Organizing Coalition
For their leadership in demanding responsible development in Washington State specifically for their commitment in South Sound to the fight for living wage jobs and affordable housing for local residents.

Special Recognition to Stuart Townsend
For creating the film Battle in Seattle and his portrayal of Street Heat that conveyed the time, effort, trials, and triumphs of the WTO Demonstrations.
