Following Second Sunday meal, Truth & Justice will host our third event as Sean Goode of Choose 180 addresses Youth & Incarceration.

What do we need to know to change the direction for youth facing incarceration?

CHOOSE 180 will provide an immersive presentation on juvenile justice that will allow each of us to understand the interconnected nature of our experiences and how our community plays a pivotal role in the decisions we make and the direction of our life. We will learn the tools that have empowered over 2000 youth and young adults to commit to a new direction for their life and leave with a new perspective on our role in justice reform.

Join us on Sunday, November 11, for an interactive discussion with the Northwest Community Bail Fund, as we learn about the how the cash bail system works in Washington state and the work that is being done locally to combat the injustice inherent in that system. Lunch will be served at 11:30, followed by a short film and dialogue starting at 12:30.  Childcare will be provided.

We suggest reading this Seattle Times article to learn more about how the bail system affects our local community.

Join us for a delicious meal following worship.

Join us, Sunday October 14th, to watch and discuss the documentary "The IF Project", a collaboration between Law Enforcement, currently and previously incarcerated adults, and community partners focused on intervention, prevention and reduction in incarceration and recidivism. This project is based on the question: If there was something someone could have said or done that would have changed the path that led you here, what would it have been?

Prior to the movie starting at 12:30PM, a simple lunch will be available at noon. Following the movie, there will be a time to hear from one of the women featured in this documentary, and to have discussion in small groups. It promises to be an impactful afternoon.

Childcare is available and will provide age-appropriate activities that allow the kids to engage in the topic of incarceration.

This event is FREE to all, though donations will be accepted to help cover the cost of the movie, food, and childcare. Tickets found here.

Alice and Peter have kindly invited us to come and pick apples with them on their farm in Darrington which is about an hour and a half away. We’re planning to meet at 9am at the Northgate Park and Ride (300 3rd Ave NE, Seattle) if you want to carpool. Or you can always come on your own or arrange your own carpool and meet at the farm at about 10:30am.
