Intercommunity Peace & Justice Center
“Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” —Harriet Tubman
2019–2020
Dear IPJC Community, We hope and pray that you and your loved ones are safe and well. As this Annual Report comes to you, we have been living our new reality brought on by COVID-19 for nine months. We at the Intercommunity Peace & Justice Center have much to be grateful for, and at the top of our list are all of you who continue to support us and collaborate in the work of peace and justice. We are also profoundly grateful that our mission of systemic change is made for these times. Over the months we have experienced how our systems—education, criminal justice, public health, economic—that should enable people to thrive are not equitable and are broken. But we will not lose heart! We believe with Harriet Tubman that we have within us
“Take My Hand,” a powerful mural of Harriet Tubman painted by Michael Rosato on the side of the Harriet Tubman Museum & Educational. Used with permission.
“…the strength, the patience, and the passion…to change the world.” Born a slave around 1820, she escaped and conducted over 300 enslaved people to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Today, with outstretched hand she invites us to join her on a journey to freedom. Highlights of that journey for us this year have included:
HHIn February IPJC published open wide our hearts—the enduring call to love, a study guide on the US Bishops’ Pastoral on racism. HHThe Twentieth Anniversary of Justice for Women celebrated 306 Justice Circles acting for social change in 72 cities worldwide. HHThe Northwest Coalition for Responsible Investment called on pharmaceutical companies to commit to making therapies and vaccines for COVID-19 accessible and affordable globally. HHA Matter of Spirit is reprinted in parish bulletins and used by faith sharing groups.
As you would expect, IPJC is quickly adapting our in-person programs, events and publications to our virtual world. However, we miss gathering with you at Human Trafficking Vigils, Justice Cafés, Legislative Advocacy Days, workshops, presentations and mailing parties. Until we can be together once again, you can be assured that IPJC begins its thirtieth year committed to taking “the journey to freedom” with all our sisters and brothers. We do this confident that we do not journey alone. You, our IPJC community, are collaborating with us and supporting us in whatever way you are able:
HHPraying for this ministry of peace and justice HHUsing and sharing our programs and publications HHMaking a donation of any amount, a regular pledge, or a tax-free donation from your IRA HHDesignating IPJC as your charity for employer matching HHGiving extra to support us as we address the challenges COVID presents for a small nonprofit
With gratitude for you, and your passion to “change the world!”

Washington State Advocacy We Made a Difference in 2020!
Advocates in District 34 prepare to meet with their legislator.
The Washington State two-month session began with a healthy economy and a focus on housing and homelessness. As it was moving to adjournment in early March, the State began to experience the global coronavirus pandemic.

Housing Trust Fund $55M to build and preserve affordable housing was added to last year’s budget, making the two-year Fund total $230M, the largest biennial investment ever.
