5th LD Democrats

🎉 Spring Fundraiser a Huge Success!🎉

What a night! Thanks to an incredible turnout, our Spring Fundraiser exceeded expectations and brought together friends, supporters, elected officials, and community leaders from across the district. Guests had the chance to connect with candidates running for office — including many of the judicial candidates who joined us for the evening.

We were honored to hear from King County Executive Girmay Zahilay, whose inspiring vision for the future of King County energized the crowd. Our MC for the evening was the “Bearded Drag Queen from Seattle,” Maya Mem Saab. Her banter, songs, dances, and sparkle kept us smiling and laughing all evening.

The evening was packed with great company, food and drinks; as well as lively games, a spirited dessert dash, and a fast-paced auction — all in support of our endorsed candidates.

A HUGE THANK YOU to the many people who donated their time, talent, and energy to make this event possible!

This past week has been incredibly heavy for so many in our q***r and trans communities.

As we grapple with the surreal and deeply unjust loss of our trans neighbor, Juniper, and the intense emotions that come with violence, grief, fear, and exhaustion, we want to intentionally hold space for community.

On Wednesday, May 20th from 4–6pm, our weekly office hours at Together Center will simply be a place to be together.

There is no pressure to speak. No expectation to share. We understand the incredible pull of isolation right now. You are welcome to just exist beside community, sip some warm tea or coffee, breathe, connect, cry, sit quietly, or simply not be alone for a little while.

We will also still be holding our regularly scheduled D&D sessions for anyone who wants to be around community and find a little comfort, grounding, or positive distraction through play and connection.

We are still actively crafting this space in the wake of this tragedy and are currently reaching out to community partners to invite q***r mental health professionals to join us in helping hold supportive space for community.

Please be gentle with yourself right now. Lean on one another where you can.

We take care of us. 🏳️‍⚧️
