SCAR Spokane

SCAR was started on May 13th, 2017, after a call for action was made to the Spokane community, when (earlier in the week) a White man was found not guilty of shooting a Black man in the back after claiming self-defense. All 12 jury members were also White.

Our Mission is to identify and address racial disparities through a variety of community efforts which include education, advocacy, research, community engagement, policy impact, and challenges to the existing organizations and structures.

Our goal is to raise awareness and give a voice to those who are underrepresented. We are committed to disrupting the status quo and want to use our focused outrage to motivate action in our community.
