Based in the Pacific Northwest and Mountain States, Western States Center works nationwide to strengthen inclusive democracy
We are getting a new look - this is just a sneak peek. We’re excited to unveil our fully redesigned website later this year!
Building Movement
We strengthen the organizing capacity of often-marginalized communities, with a particular emphasis on gender justice, racial justice, and tribal sovereignty work.
Developing Leaders
We provide training, leadership development, and organizational capacity support to social movements and leaders committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Shifting Culture
We convene culture-makers to shift the narrative and use culture as a vehicle for base- and power-building in non-traditional social change spaces.
Defending Democracy
We assist communities and civil society to effectively respond to social movements that exploit bigotry and intolerance.
