Sign-in and dinner starts at 4:40pm. Optional networking and dessert from 6:30pm-7pm!
Where? The WEA/FWEA building at 32032 Weyerhaeuser Way S., 98003 (we have air conditioning!)
Why? Especially with everything that's going on in the nation, let's create a joyful, resilient space to celebrate LGBTQ+ folks and safe, welcoming schools for all!
What? A fun night of building community, dinner and conversation! Let's make our schools as welcoming and affirming as possible for all students, educators and families. We welcome your voice, expertise, and everyone eager to learn. We will have free resources and posters to share, and even some fun door prizes!
Extra exciting:
- An amazing student panel is kicking off our event!
- UTOPIA (a wonderful local Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander non-profit) is joining us! Learn more about them here

- Special Guest: Kasha
Roseta, MPA, JD from the OSPI Equity
and Civil Rights Office will join us with a greeting and resources!
- Our optional networking portion from 6:30pm-7pm will allow additional conversation and connection across buildings!
We have chosen May 17 because it is globally recognized as the International Day against Transphobia, Biphobia, and Homophobia. So let's celebrate and unite together!
Join us! By adding your name below, it helps us plan for space, dinner (inclusive of vegan and vegetarian options), materials and swag! This event is open to members of all unions (not just FWEA) and other educators who are in support.
