Pride Month is here, and the CPC team was proud to be at the City of Seattle’s Pride Flag raising 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
For us, showing up isn’t a one-day thing. Accountability that’s truly community-centered means being present for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities year-round: celebrating openly, listening closely, and carrying those voices into the work we do every day.

Yesterday, CPC Executive Director Eci Ameh brought our story to the Seattle City Council Public Safety Committee. From the 2010 organizing that demanded federal review, to the 2017 ordinance that made us permanent, our mandate has always come from community.

Community at the heart. Built by community, accountable to community. 🫱🏾🫲🏿
Pieces of who we are, all at the table.
A day with the CPC team — building alignment, breaking bread, and doing the work behind the work. 💛

Trans communities deserve to be seen, heard, and safe.
