This year features a series of virtual events including the presentation of our annual Lifetime Peacemaker Award, and a once-in-a-lifetime conversation between Seattle Black Panther co-founder Aaron Dixon and Portland artist, author, and educator Walidah Imarisha. 

The historical discussion between two of the most significant Black organizers in the Pacific Northwest honors this year’s uprisings against state violence across the country following the police murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade while calling upon our local community to confront white supremacy and anti-Blackness wherever it arises. ​
