In recognition of Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Monday, Oct. 9, King County’s ARWAG (Anti-Racist White Action Affinity Group) encourages you to consider ways you can support and honor Indigenous People and Native American causes.

Consider volunteering your time or donating all or part of a day’s pay in support of Native American causes. Take a look at nonprofit organizations participating in this year’s Annual Giving Drive for ideas. You can also use up to three days of sick leave to volunteer at an Employee Giving Program nonprofit or at a local school. Also, take a moment to Unlearn Columbus Day Myths.

To hold ourselves accountable, we will encourage members and guests to share what they did at the next ARWAG meeting on Oct. 24. If you have ideas to share, please join us! Contact ARWAG@kingcounty.gov to get involved.
