guided advocacy dinner party for housing & climate justice
Make friends who care about stuff at Soapbox Seattle, the city's most fun community space for climate action!
Every single Tuesday evening from 6-9 PM, our vibrarians at Soapbox Project help you make new friends, invite awesome educators from frontline communities, and facilitate action so YOU can be part of the solution.
Each month, we pick a different theme and break it down into CONNECT-LEARN-ACT-REFLECT modules (one for each Tuesday of the month).
On Feb 18th, we'll ACT on the topic of housing x climate justice through 3 climate action stations (no experience needed!!)
Activities will start at 6:25ish so do your best to arrive before then!
6-6:25 | arrive, put your stuff down, grab a lil drink, and relaaaxx with some casual chit chat or introvert time—whatever brings you joy!
6:25-7:00 | gather with your new friends and eat plant-based dinner served by Chef D (Dustin Ronspies, owner of Art of the Table)
7:00-9 | action time! All you need to bring is yourself, and optionally, any actions you want to share with others. We'll have bite-sized actions, a letter-writing station, and a choose-your-own-adventure option.
You’ll leave with new friends, new information, and the knowledge that just by showing up, you’ve made a huge difference towards a healthy planet 💚
Here's the plan for February
