SUMMARY:Read Seattle Movement Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Make reading a reality for every child in Seattle. \nThe literacy situation in Seattle Public Schools and surrounding areas is discouraging and historically disappointing. The SPS October 2024 Audit report points out the continuing disparities and low proficiency reading levels for BIPOC and particularly Black Male students. The reports state that only 60% of SPS 3rd graders are reading at the proficiency levels for their grade. The proficiency level is 40% for BIPOC and 28% for Black Males.\n72% of Black Males in the 3rd grade aren’t reading at their grade level. \nWhile these results are shocking\, they aren’t new. The reading proficiency levels for BIPOC and Black male students have been low for decades. It’s time to act and reverse the trend. The future of our kids depends on it. Read Seattle is building a community-driven literacy movement by connecting volunteers with local nonprofits\, making a real difference. We are asking for your support in promoting this community-driven initiative. \nOn Saturday\, March 15th\, at 2 PM\, the Read Seattle Community Coalition will host a literacy awareness and recruiting event at Holgate Church of Christ\, 2600 S. Holgate St. Our goal is to get individuals to sign up to become reading tutors. We will invite the Seattle Mayor\, Seattle City Council\, King County Council\, Seattle School Board Members\, and other officials to this vital community event.\nYour support is needed.\nWe would like you to attend our event on March 15th at 2 PM if you can and are willing. Your presence and support will go a long way in bringing attention to this enormous opportunity. Scan the QR code on the attached flyer or go to https://www.readseattle.org/sentencedfilm\nto register for the event. \nIf you have questions\, please call Lori Walker at 206-399-0165 or Joe Hunter Jr. at 504-621-6524

SUMMARY:The Ugly Truth Campaign: Rotary's fight to end sex trafficking
DESCRIPTION:On May 30\, the Rotary Club PNW Ending Sex Trafficking\, featured in this month’s Rotary Magazine\, is taking a first step in bringing to our area an ambitious assault on the myths that perpetuate sex trafficking.  The campaign\, entitled The Ugly Truth Campaign\, was pioneered by the Sacramento Rotary Club in 2018.  The campaign consists of billboard and public transportation advertising.  Each ad states a myth about commercial sexual exploitation followed by the ugly truth.\n\nFor example\, Myth: It’s the world’s oldest profession–The Ugly Truth–It’s a dangerous form of exploitation.\nOur Club’s partner\, Voices and Faces\, will be presenting an overview of the campaign on May 30 from 10:00-12:00.  Voices and Faces developed the campaign with Sacramento Rotary and has run it in five or more other metropolitan areas.  The forum’s goal is to rally support for such a campaign in the greater Seattle/King County area to coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup. \nFor more information contact Eric Laschever at 206-963-4631.\nhttps://www.rotarypnw.org/
