Land Acknowledgment
We, the Seattle Labor Chorus, live, work, and sing on the ancestral lands and waters of the Coast Salish Indigenous peoples, including the Duwamish, Suquamish, Muckleshoot, and their kin from neighboring communities. We wish to honor and express our gratitude to the land itself and to these First Peoples.
We acknowledge and deplore the dispossession, displacement, violence, oppression, exclusions, and other injustices that the Coast Salish and all Indigenous peoples have suffered under U.S. colonization. We recognize that the United States made promises to the Coast Salish that are still owed to their Indigenous descendants.
We are thankful that the Coast Salish peoples have stewarded this land and its waters for thousands of years, and we honor their continuing leadership to preserve a livable environment for all beings.
We acknowledge and appreciate that Coast Salish people, whose work sustained thriving communities before U.S. colonization, now contribute by their work to all aspects of regional society.
Let this acknowledgment serve as a reminder of the Seattle Labor Chorus commitment to raise our voices in support of justice and respect for our Indigenous neighbors.
Black Lives Matter
The Seattle Labor Chorus joins labor leaders in deploring racism, America's long history of enforced White supremacy, and the devastating consequences for Black Americans. We will do everything in our power as members and supporters of the anti-racism movement to reverse those consequences, compensate racism's victims, and bring about a nation in which all people are assured of legal, economic, and social justice.
Bellevue College Association of Higher Education – "Our working conditions are our students’ learning conditions. Systemic racism and anti-Blackness are embedded in the fabric of our educational system, impacting educators and students alike. As a union of educators, we must work to create equity in public education for both our members and our students.”
OPEIU 8 – “Too many disparities exist today – in housing, in healthcare, in education, in job opportunities and in public safety. Black, Indigenous and other people of color suffer these disparities the most. Institutional racism must be recognized and ended. Genuine police reform must be non-negotiable.”
AFL-CIO – “Racism plays an insidious role in the daily lives of all working people of color. This is a labor issue because it is a workplace issue. It is a community issue, and unions are the community. We must and will continue to fight for reforms in policing and to address issues of racial and economic inequality.”
UFCW 21 -- “When communities of color are being repeatedly traumatized, when we see racist acts of hate and violence on full display played out online and splashed across televisions and newspapers, we remember that labor’s power comes from our ability to act collectively. Fear undermines our collective power. Racism undermines our collective power. Racism is the enemy of the working class. Racism is the enemy of organized labor.”
International Association of Machinists – “We face a clear choice: Do we join in solidarity with each other, in accordance with our values—and do the hard and difficult work of building a racially just society—or do we allow misinformation, fear and suspicion to continue to divide us? We must stand in solidarity with one another.”
