Join Front and Centered, Latino Community Fund, People’s Economy Lab, and other organizations across Washington State in the Just Hack: A Just Transition Challenge, on November 17-18 in Seattle or Yakima Valley to co-create solutions to address social, environmental, and climate justice issues.
All skills are welcome, from arts, crafts, and activism to science and tech; there are no small ideas to tackle what impacts our communities. Teams will collaborate on tangible solutions for real-world issues, and $5,000 in prizes are available. There will be four categories to work on: Just economy, food justice, environmental justice, and inclusive+resilient communities.
We are looking for:
- Participants over 16 years old from all backgrounds, with all interests and skills (artists, activists, crafters, storytellers, techies, scientists...) are invited. Team up and address a meaningful challenge, while learning in action what a just transition looks like. Here are our flyers (English version and Spanish version).
- Mentors who want to support participants and share part of their experience. The minimum time commitment is 2 hours on November 18, and options to connect remotely will be available.
- Challenge advocates: Groups, community-based organizations, agencies or small business owners who want to propose one or two challenges under the four categories for participants to address. A challenge could be a request to co-create resources (webpages, logos, infographics, maps, games, etc), find and curate data around a particular topic, or help design a campaign.
