You’re invited to SJF’s 45th Birthday Party on Saturday, October 7th! This will be another special hybrid event so whether you join us in-person in Seattle at the historic Washington Hall or attend virtually, we’re excited to build community with you.

Because this is an extra special celebration, we’re shaking things up: this year we’ll have no keynote speaker and instead our focus will be on YOU, our community. We’re inviting some of SJF’s most dedicated members, volunteers, and folks we look up to as progressive leaders to share the stage. We’ll have inspiring speeches, updates from the SJF staff, delicious food for in-person attendees from Off The Rez, and we guarantee you’ll learn more about what organizing currently looks like throughout our five-state region.

Get your tickets here!

This year we’re grounding in celebration and joy by hosting an SJF Birthday Party; we’re not choosing this theme because times feel light or overly celebratory—just the opposite, in fact. We chose it because we believe joy and abundance are critical to center when doing social justice work. Stopping to fill our cups allows us to give more to community, more to the movement. We invite you to come and celebrate our journey as an organization, but also to celebrate the collective work and labor that we’ve put in together over the past weeks, months, and (45!!) years as folks committed to building and supporting progressive social movements.

Want to volunteer your time for social justice events? Sign up as day-of event support or get out in community a Table Captain! Table Captains help spread the word and bring in 7-10 folks with them, either in-person or virtually—making our party that much more of a celebration!

We can’t wait to party with you!
