social sustainability

For the first time we have a critical mass of elected officials who recognize the urgent need for new revenue sources to resolve the ongoing deficit in the King County budget. Now, we must use this growing momentum to insist that a long term funding solution for community health and human services be identified and implemented to restore funding to an acceptable base level. This will be a significant public policy change that will allow for stable funding for urgently needed services across the county.

Calling all community leaders, activists, and design enthusiasts! The next wave of Multiple Victories Workshops are starting in February, with two locations - one in Seattle and one in Tacoma. Please check out the website for dates, financial aid info, and locations. Don't hesitate to call with specific questions. We are very excited to share Pomegranate's 23 years of experience with you and to learn about your community goals!

Election results are showing that Seattle voters care about diversity and social issues, in addition to the environment. Social sustainability is the next frontier of the green movement. Social issues and environmental issues overlap in everywhere. Put another way, sustainability is everything, not just carbon and climate. Gender, education, race and housing are all areas that impact and are impacted by the environment of our planet and our how we treat our local and global community.
