Equity & Justice
The fight to protect birds and nature is not separate from the fight for equity and justice, and to succeed at one we must succeed at both.

Partner Spotlight: Chevon Powell
Birds Connect Seattle has partnered with Chevon Powell since she first launched Golden Bricks Events and the festival and, in recent years, expanded to related events, including Sundaes Outside and Refuge Day. She served on the Name Selection Committee, which vetted and proposed this organization’s new name.
Community Emblem
No longer a barrier, our new name represents an open door for new communities to join us in our mission to advocate and organize for cities where people and birds thrive.
