About This Event

Journalism is the bedrock of democracy. It provides accurate information to the public. It watchdogs and holds the powerful to account. It sparks civic engagement and builds community. No wonder journalism is feared by some. The South Seattle Emerald has been an ally, a voice and a force for the South End for 12 years. Our power is being nonprofit media by and for the community. Join us at the Royal Room for a fundraising brunch to raise money toward hiring a milestone: the first full-time reporter for the South Seattle Emerald.

Program:

  • Build-Your-Own pancake brunch.
  • Autopsy of an Emerald Story with our staff.
  • Who's f***ing fascism in Seattle? A panel discussion with Anne Levinson, Ijeoma Oluo, and Roger Maldonado.
  • Future of the South Seattle Emerald, with Florangela Davila.
