Mission Statement

FEEST trains youth of color and working class youth to build collective power and organize for transformative and systemic change in their schools.

About This Cause

-- FEEST trains youth of color and working class youth to build collective power and organize for transformative and systemic change in their schools. Our power comes from building a strong base, developing youth leaders, and running dynamic, radically joyful campaigns for systemic material change. Our work is both youth-led and multigenerational. -- Our roots started in food justice and through that, we have won systemic improvements in school food in Highline and Seattle Public Schools. Since the 2020 campaign to remove police from Seattle Public Schools, we have expanded our campaign goals to include a wide range of systemic solutions that improve student wellness at school. Why we center BIPOC and working class youth: To effectively organize around issues of injustice, those most impacted must lead our work. BIPOC and working class youth are often disproportionately impacted by the social and economic issues we face in South King County and thus have a deep understanding of the problems and the solutions that will work best for youth. It is FEEST’s job to provide a space for training, coaching, and community-building so that our students can lead the creation of systems that serve our people. -- Why we need youth-led intergenerational movements: At FEEST, we know it’s crucial to train new young people in organizing skills and strategic analysis so they can keep our movements for justice alive and growing for decades to come. By also working with adults and elders, we can harness the unique strengths and knowledge of different generations to expand our strategies for applying pressure to decision makers. Together, we are a more powerful and sustainable force for social justice.
