Please consider signing a petition to re-purpose the East Precinct on Capitol Hill into a Community Center. Capitol Hill Pride stands in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and is requesting the building be run by a consortium of non-profit organizations that invest back into the community including black youth and social outreach. A change.org petition has been started for support signatures. http://chng.it/nV9FXMrSBc Close to a historical location, the East Precinct is just several blocks from where a young baby by the name of Barack Obama in his first year grew up while his mother attended the University of Washington. In remembering George Floyd, Native American John T. Williams, Che Taylor and Charleena Llyes and those that have lost their lives due to police violence, the East Precinct would make a fitting example of restorative justice. From Teri Rogers Kemp – defense attorney and co-chair of NAACP Seattle King County’s police accountability committee: “This is an exceptional idea. This is indeed a Cornerstone where The Black Community can once again have a solid foothold in the CD that was gentrified. Thank you for this Petition!”

Come take a bite of Seattle's Capitol Hill!
Activism at its finest!

As the ten year annual event has grown to become one of the Northwest’s largest Pride events and Capitol Hill’s largest, we are dedicated to creating awareness of the LGBTQAI community in what is recognized as a Constitutionally protected annual event for Pride weekend.
We also have confidence in the many supporting restaurants, businesses non-profits and artists in promoting the LGBTQAI cause whether it’s through their art, business or personal expression and support of the community.

Pat Murakami is running for City Council position District 3 which includes Capitol Hill. To date, Murakami is the only City Council Candidate and City Council Member that has been involved with Capitol Hill Pride.	1:00 Pat for Seattle! Meet your Seattle City Council Candidate Pat Murakami Pat’s experience as a civic leader and business owner make her an ideal candidate for Seattle City Council District 3, a district she has lived in for over 40 years. After attending the University of Washington, graduating with two degrees in Business Administration and Sociology, Pat Murakami decided to remain in Seattle and bought her first home in the Central Area. Pat also earned an MBA from the University of Puget Sound. For over 30 years she has owned and operated an IT firm which supports a wide array of industries across the region. Pat is a dedicated community volunteer and has years of civic activism including: Ten years as President of the South Seattle Crime Prevention Council Five years as President of the Mount Baker Community Club Two years as President of the Cleveland High School PTSA Vice-Chair of the City Neighborhood Council Member of the Federation of Community Councils. In 2006 Pat founded and led an organization called Many Cultures, One Message, successfully blocking Mayor Nickels' attempt to declare all of Southeast Seattle blighted. This action would have given the City the power to force immigrant and modest- income property owners to sell at bargain prices, allowing the City to later "sell the properties to developers at a discount." While serving on the Seattle Public Schools Closure Committee Pat fought to protect schools from closure in areas where population growth was expected, and to ensure equity for low-income students and minority students. She will bring creative solutions to improve Seattle and tackle the tough challenges we face.

	Vightingale and her Harmonium Melodica! Vightingale is a genderqueer, genre-bending siffleur (whistler) and multi-instrumentalist. She is known around Pike Place Market for her unique instrumentation, including harmonium, melodica, kazoo, trombone, and toy piano, mixed with shakers, tambourines, and bells she wears around her ankles to keep the beat. She loves to choose diverse music to cover, including Radiohead, Lady Gaga, Tim McGraw, and more. She has her MFA in Fine Art and Sculpture from Pratt Institute and incorporates her mastery over the three-dimensional world into the way she visualizes music.
