LELO RELICENSING PROGRAM

LELO’s experience with re-licensing goes deep as it started 15 years ago as a community outrage to the increased arrests in low-income communities because of unpaid traffic infractions. Through LELO’s community organizing both City of Seattle Municipal Court and King County District Court adopted a partnership with community based organizations to assist communities impacted by driving while suspended. The primary goal was to deter drivers from receiving a criminal penalty because of their driving status or because of the profiling of the poor and communities of color.

Work to Worker Solidarity

The Tyree Scott International Worker-to-Worker Project was founded in 1997 to create opportunities for “ordinary” workers from different countries to communicate with each other – in their own languages – and share information about the global economy and its effects on workers’ lives. Named in honor of the late LELO founder Tyree Scott, an ordinary Black worker, visionary leader, and world citizen, the project inspires workers to foster a shared analysis of their problems across national borders and offer solidarity to each other’s local struggles.

Blue Corn Cooperative

A co-operative is a group of people acting together to meet the common needs and aspirations of its members, sharing ownership and making decisions democratically. Co-operatives are not about making big profits for shareholders, but creating value for customers – this is what gives co-operatives a unique character, and influences. (1)

The Blue Corn Coop is a consumer’s cooperative between our community in Seattle and the Fernandez family, Latino farmers from Sunnyside, Washington.  The family grows all of their own herbs, fruits and vegetables using all organic technics, although they are not currently certified as an organic farm by the State.
