It's 2021 and our society is struggling with, racial division, police brutality, wage disparity, police openly committing murder without consequence, record unemployment, a poor education system, poorly maintained and collapsing infrastructure, immigrant detention, overfilled prisons, unrelieved college debt, bankruptcies due to healthcare debts, no functional health care system, high rent, no social safety net, disappearances and murders of indigenous and peoples of color, predatory loan agencies, homeless camp sweeps, poor working conditions, voter disenfranchisement, and both the LGBTQIA+ and women both face curtailment of their personal rights.

Meanwhile, corporations and the very rich amass more riches. Over all of this, we have out of control climate change, and a worldwide pandemic killing millions of people.

While these issues affect all of us, they disproportionately affect people of color in our nation and globally. It's painfully clear how varying levels of privilege dictate the rise and fall of people in our land, and that our elected officials are more interested in sustaining our corrupt system than in listening to the people.

We find ourselves at a turning point. People take to the streets, where they are met with police brutality and fascist armed mobs. Fascist armed mobs have made seditious attempts to overthrow our democracy and retain White Power.

We have created this wiki website as a means to bring those of us in Snohomish County together outside of a social media setting.

Snohomish County Culture, Activism, & News. SnoCoCAN

Our general goals of this group are…

• Share stories of people of oppressed groups in SnoCo and other news relevant to the marginalized
• Showcase art of the oppressed that make our challenges and dreams the focus(es)
• To be a reference for resources, projects, mutual aid, groups, and other things that can be of benefit for activists and the oppressed in general.
• Exist as a reference for those who are still learning about the struggles of the marginalized.

Our desire, simply put, is to be a Rainbow Coalition wiki based in Snohomish County that can be a resource for us all!
