Invitation to the 13th Annual Legislative Reception
Hello!
On behalf of the Associated Students of the University of Washington Office of Government Relations (ASUW OGR), we would like to formally invite you to our 13th Annual Legislative Reception. The reception will be held on Friday, November 15th, from 5:30-7:30pm in the University of Washington’s HUB South Ballroom, with doors opening at 5pm.
With the 2020 legislative session just around the corner, this reception is an opportunity for elected officials to converse with students on higher education policy and advocacy. As you may know, the ASUW puts together a new legislative agenda each year, and we will be releasing our new agenda at this event. This agenda will be comprised of issues facing students, and attendees will have a unique opportunity to sit down for dinner and engage in a discussion about real issues with actual students before committee days the following week. Previous guest speakers have included Attorney General Bob Ferguson, Governor Jay Inslee, as well as students and administrative leaders from the University of Washington. This event serves as a unique experience for students to share their stories, and continue to build a relationship between the UW student body and the legislature.
Your presence at this event would be an honor. The details of the event are listed again below:
What: 13th Annual ASUW Legislative Reception
When: November 15th, 5:30-7:30 pm (doors open at 5pm)

[Qsc_asuw] SPRING! Newsletter Week 5
Welcome to Week 5! <3
QTBIPOC Artist Spotlight of the Week:
Rudy Loewe
Rudy Loewe is a visual artist utilising drawing, painting and printmaking as a means of building narrative and contributing to dialogues on social themes. They work with large scale, sometimes directly onto surfaces that then ensure their temporality; as well as small scale in forms such as publications.
The work itself is bright and colourful, referencing aesthetics from the Afro Caribbean diaspora. It also represents different kinds of bodies, highlighting differing races; non conforming genders; sexualities; classes and (dis)ability. Rudy makes the work that reflects the narratives they would like to see in the world, the histories that are not getting the visibility or care that they deserve.
The Queer & Trans People of Color Alliance (QTPOCA) will be meeting this Friday, location TBD!
LAVISH QTPOC Art Showcase (Tuesday, May 21, 2019) 6:30 PM - 9 PM @ Ethnic Cultural Theater 3931 Brooklyn Ave NE, Seattle, Washington 98105

2019 Living Breath of wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ Food Symposium (Friday, May 3, 2019) 8:45 AM - 5 PM @ wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ - Intellectual House

Other themes this symposium covers are: traditional foods, plants and medicines; environmental and food justice; food sovereignty; health and wellness; and treaty rights.
---------------------------------------------------------------- Our planning committee is composed of Indigenous women who represent interdisciplinary academic fields of study and philanthropy in the Northwest Coast; women who are committed to Indigenous food sovereignty and environmental justice, and whose lived and scholarly experiences, personal passions, and academic research are firmly grounded in their homelands and communities. We volunteer our time to host this annual community-driven event as we recognize the need to come together in dialogue and action as we build collaborative networks to sustain our Indigenous food practices and preserve our healthy relationships to the land, water, and all living things. ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION:

Sacred Breath: Writing and Storytelling (Wednesday, May 1, 2019) 6:30-8:30 PM @ wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ - Intellectual House
This event features writer and Sacred Breath founder, Elissa Washuta (Cowlitz) and local northwest storyteller Sondra Segundo (Haida).
Storytelling offers a spiritual connection, a sharing of sacred breath. Literature, similarly, preserves human experience and ideals. Both forms are durable and transmit power that teaches us how to live. Both storytelling and reading aloud can impact audiences through the power of presence, allowing for the experience of the transfer of sacred breath as audiences are immersed in the experience of being inside stories and works of literature.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Elissa Washuta is a member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe and a writer of personal essays and memoir. She is the author of two books, Starvation Mode and My Body Is a Book of Rules, named a finalist for the Washington State Book Award. With Theresa Warburton, she is co-editor of the anthology Shapes of Native Nonfiction, forthcoming from University of Washington Press. She has received fellowships and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, Artist Trust, 4Culture, Potlatch Fund, and Hugo House. Elissa is an assistant professor of English at Ohio State University.
Sondra Segundo is an artist and singer of the Haida language. She is an educator and has worked with youth in schools and programs throughout the Northwest, teaching art and sharing her Indigenous children’s books and songs. Everything Sondra does tells a story. Her composed Haida songs tell a story. Her illustrations in her books tell a story. Her movements while she dances, tell a story. Although she is individually accomplished in each of these facets of her life, they are all intertwined by her passion—storytelling. Recently, Sondra has been recruited by tribal-funk band Khu.eex’ as lead female vocalist and has performed at venues such as The Paramount Theater & Upstream Music Fest. She released her first personal music album “Díi Gudangáay uu Síigaay-I Can Feel the Ocean” on 8-8-18.

Storytelling Strategies for Dismantling Racism
(April 11, 2019 - 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM)
Storytelling is an ancient human technology meant to encapsulate information and build connections. We are all capable of sharing our stories and more importantly, to witnessing and hearing each other with openness and compassion.
· Facilitators: Nikkita Oliver (featured) with youth storyteller, Azura Tyabji, Natasha Marin, Fleur Larsen, and Bert Hopkins.
+ Bios Available Here: https://ssdr-apr2019.paperform.co/
How can we strategically explore and dismantle problematic racial structures in our organizations using our own personal stories?
During this training, facilitators will guide participants in the following:
+ Exploring institutional narratives and the structures. + Practicing deep listening, especially with regards to the language of power & privilege. + Role-play for navigating difficult conversations.
Join us in this training to explore how storytelling can be used to develop concrete strategies to help individuals and organizations actively engaged in anti-racist work.
