Our league has a strong position in support of affordable housing, and engaging with others to ensure safe and secure housing for all residents in Tacoma is a priority action.
Learn more and find ways to support our position by participating in “Affordable Housing Week” sponsored by the Tacoma-Pierce County Affordable Housing Consortium.
Check out the "register now" button for virtual and in-person events (most at no cost). The planned activities invite us to seek new ways to collaborate and deepen our relationships with those who share our belief in the human right to shelter. This is a good opportunity to learn more and consider what we can do to support housing that is both affordable and attainable.

Have you been attending the grassroots “Hands Off” protests and rallies organized by local volunteers with the national 50501 movement? The National League encourages our participation. If you’d like to show up as a member of the League, with League signs and other signifiers, consider joining us as we create signs and talk about actions we can take in response to ever-deepening threats to democracy.
Come when it works for you and for as long as you like. We’ll have the poster supplies, but welcome any additions (like clear packing tape, wide permanent markers, and creative slogans). If you’d like to join a future sign-making activity or have questions or supplies to share, contact Rosemary Powers at rpowers@eou.edu.
