I'm one of the co-founders of Whatcom CARE, and even before the presidential election, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it really takes to build a stronger, more democratic society.

We enter July with a spirit of gratitude. Thank you to everyone who has shown up and reached out these past few weeks, offering your time, energy, and support.

Sign on to our community letter to denounce racism and show your support.

Dear Community, on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, a Black sixth grade student at Whatcom Middle School was the victim of a racist assault while on a school field trip in downtown Bellingham.
