Action NorthWest
ACTION Northwest connects, supports and advances the growth and effectiveness of artist's and social justice organizations. We help increase their capacity for collective action on their various platforms. We assist organizations in recruiting and developing new activists and artists for civic participation in socio/economic justice and human rights by providing quarterly training workshops, supplying volunteers, sponsoring events and giving out grants so each organization can better achieve their objectives. ACTION NW works with organizations interested in: Environment • Fighting Oppression • LGBTQ Issues• ACTION NW is not affiliated with any political party. We are partnered with several organizations throughout the Pacific NorthWest, with members in the Puget Sound region, Eugene, Portland, Pullman and Spokane with more being added as we grow.
