Decolonize SAM - Community Aid & Outreach

The following is a list of local grassroots community aid and outreach groups. Volunteers in these groups provide aid such as food, water, shelter essentials, and harm reduction directly to our Unhoused neighbors in Seattle (Occupied Land of Duwamish, Suquamish, and Tribes collectively recognized as Muckleshoot).

more to come

Thank you for your patience as we build upon this non-exhaustive list. We will soon add filter and search features, and will welcome you to recommend community aid and outreach groups through a custom form.

The Seattle Art Museum was built on land taken from the Duwamish People. As residents of Duwamish, suq̀ʷabš (Suquamish - “People of Clear Salt Water”), and (the Tribes collectively recognized as) Muckleshoot land, those of our collective who are descended from invaders and were raised on unceded homelands of various Tribes recognize we have no right to this land.

It is our express purpose to return Turtle Island to her people, who know how to care for her and appreciate her gifts. We are honored to offer ourselves to be of service to the First People of this land, and all peoples victimized by colonization and imperialism.

For transparency, we do use settler names for cities and states throughout this website, however, we welcome feedback on this practice.
