5th Anniversary Event

Our 5th Anniversary event was a tremendous success! More than 350 people joined us for lunch at the Arctic Club in Seattle.  

We were honored to have our board members, supporters, and elected officials celebrate with us and hear from Nobel-Laureate Joseph Stiglitz.

Executive Director Remy Trupin highlighted our past successes, and our plans going forward including our “Framework for Prosperity,”  which lays out our vision for Washington state and how to get us there. We call for investments in our future prosperity and a revenue system that works for everyone.

Professor Stiglitz discussed how income inequality has increased dramatically over the last 20 years.

He noted that, “Austerity at the state and federal level will not get people back to work…there are alternatives to the ‘slash and burn’ approach which jeopardizes our society’s future.”  

Following the event, Professor Stiglitz was interviewed by KUOW. You can listen to it here.

If you missed the event, don’t despair! It was taped by TVW and part of it, including Professor Stiglitz’ speech, as well as remarks from Board Chair Aaron Katz, can be found by clicking here.    

 You can find our new video here, which highlights the need for continued state investments in public structures while also discussing the importance of our work.
