City of Seattle’s Race and Social Justice Initiative Releases Racial Equity Research and City Actions Websites The Race and Social Justice Initiative (RSJI) at the City of Seattle launched new websites with in-depth information and data about racial equity issues in the Seattle area, as well as a database of actions the City is taking toward racial equity. Seattle's Innovation Advisory Council sponsored the project after community feedback that called for more transparent race and social justice data, as well as better coordination between City departments. The Racial Equity Research portal now includes six topic pages: Poverty, Racial Demographics, Food Insecurity, Health Disparities, Community Wealth, and Housing Affordability. More will be added in the future. In tandem with the portal, RSJI also published a searchable City Racial Equity Actions database. Every year, City of Seattle departments create Racial Equity Plans to ensure that their work centers people most impacted by racism and other forms of oppression. Development of the Racial Equity Research site was led by the Race and Social Justice Initiative, the Seattle IT Digital Engagement Team, and the Seattle IT Digital Workflows team. Visit the Racial Equity Research portal to explore topic pages, and visit the City Racial Equity Actions page to search the database.

Thank You For Coming: SPACE by Faye Driscoll Faye Driscoll’s Thank You For Coming: Space is the final performance in her trilogy which summons the unnamed forces that surge between the viewer and the viewer in order to create a communal realm where our experiences are heightened and questioned. Driscoll considers theater one of the last secular social spaces, where the vulnerability and complexity of human interconnection is made palpable. Space unfolds within an intimate installation, wired for sound and upheld by pulleys, ropes, and the weight of others, where Driscoll appears alone with the audience. Through an alchemy of body, object, voice, and live sound, she builds a moving requiem for the human body and conjures a world that is, like ourselves, alive and forever changeable. Space invites us to collectively confront life’s final flourishing, and tethers us to our potential for both the grotesque and the sublime.
