Seattle Central College is trying to close the only public wood tech college in the state of Washington, which is one of if not the only avenue into woodworking trades for people who usually aren't hired to be trained on-site: queer, trans, neurodivergent and disabled students, and women. Which is exactly what most of the students in the program are.
The reason according to the college is that they want to sell the building to fix the school's budget; they also claim the wood tech college has a severe budget deficit, but they've failed to follow through on any promises to try to fix that (including hiring a permanent dean, so the school has someone to advocate for them... which they haven't had in at least a decade).
The reason according to some students & staff is that Seattle College's VP has a grudge against the lead carpentry instructor & has been trying to get her program shut down for years to get rid of her.
Students are trying to make some noise about it, in hopes that the college backs down and they can work towards the long-term fixes Seattle College keeps failing to follow through on.
The future is unclear for one of the Puget Sound region’s only comprehensive training programs for carpentry and boatbuilding.
If you can sign this little petition & share this around, it'd help the school out a ton!
It shows the school they're going to get pushback, which has changed their mind about this in the past.

juniper blessing, a trans woman, was stabbed 40 times by a man in the laundry room of her off-campus apartment. she had stab wounds in her hands from trying to defend herself. she loved pokemon and meteorology and singing.
all of this happened in my city of seattle, in a 'blue' and 'progressive' state. a 'safe haven' for trans people. her university, UW, was hosting a TPUSA event with a conservative detransitioner right after (TPUSA *postponed the event themselves). how many more of us need to be killed? when will the bloodlust for trans people end? is the grifter money worth it?
