Allies of the Duwamish are invited to join The Duwamish Solidarity Group (DSG), an all-volunteer group partnering with the Duwamish Tribe to coordinate Real Rent Duwamish (RRD) and assist the Tribe as they request. 

Volunteering with DSG offers a way to learn more about solidarity organizing, take action toward community education and social justice change, and meet some amazing people. It requires an ongoing commitment to be part of at least one DSG workgroup, which involves one evening or weekend meeting every other week, with occasional work outside those meetings.

We prioritize authentic relationships with each other and deep understanding of indigenous and Duwamish context so that we can best support Real Rent administration, community education and outreach, the Tribe’s federal acknowledgement efforts, and other projects with the guidance of the Duwamish Tribe.

The next chance to join takes place over four contiguous Mondays in September: Sept 9, 16, 23 and 30, from 6:30-8 pm PDT via Zoom. This opportunity is designed to support our organizing through shared language, expectations about working together, and knowledge about the Tribe's past and present. These four sessions are also important to build trust with each other, so we can engage in this work in a way that consistently honors the long history of the Duwamish Tribe and support our members to stay in solidarity over time.

If you are interested in doing this work that recognizes the Duwamish Tribe as stewards of this land, and recognizes the sometimes difficult and complex work of organizing, we would love to have you join us. Just fill out the DSG Info Form and we will be in touch. With appreciation and in solidarity --DSG Organizing Hub
