What’s happening with climate policy in Spokane? What are people organizing around? What questions are coming up in our communities?⁠
⁠
Let’s talk about it over coffee. As always, your coffee is on us!⁠
⁠
📅 Saturday, September 5 at 11 AM⁠
📍 Jupiter’s Eye Book Café⁠
✨ Space is limited, please RSVP via bit.ly/climate_chats or 🔗 in bio. ⁠
⁠
Climate Chats is an informal, drop-in space to connect with others and talk about all things climate-related. There’s no agenda, no expectation to speak, and no pressure to participate. Come listen, ask questions, share what’s on your mind, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee with community.⁠
⁠
You’re also welcome to come and go as your schedule allows.⁠
⁠
🗣️ What might we talk about?⁠
With recent developments around data centers in Spokane County and the City of Spokane, we may spend some time talking about the local moratoriums, what comes next, and how environmental organizations and community members are thinking about the path forward.⁠
⁠
We may also talk about what’s happening at the state level, and how local organizing connects to broader efforts around data centers, energy, water, and climate justice in Washington.⁠
⁠
See you there!⁠

What a week! Our new AYCL fellows came to the Summer Summit ready to step outside their comfort zones. Some curious about civic engagement, some unsure what it meant, and some honestly feeling a little “meh” about it. 😆⁠
⁠
After a week of reflecting on the story of self, us, and now, practicing storytelling and de-escalation skills, and building connection, our fellows left with new civic skills and excitement for Legislative Day. They gained more confidence to use their voices, speak up about the issues they care about, and become more involved in their communities!⁠
⁠
A huge thank-you to our amazing trainers from and for making civic learning fun and accessible, Chef Alice for expanding our culinary horizons and keeping everyone well-fed, and for giving us a beautiful place to rest and connect.⁠
⁠
We also want to thank our AYCL alumni who came back to share their experiences and wisdom with our new fellows. We’re so proud to see them build on what they learned and thrive in their own unique ways, from stepping into leadership as club presidents at school to creating a Spokane chapter of the Washington Youth Alliance . Woohoo! 🎉⁠
⁠
We can’t wait to see what our fellows do next! 💛🔥⁠

About our Boba Buddies guests—

✨ Mida Wayuono was born and raised in Medan on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, and moved to Miami with little more than a backpack and a dream of building a life in the United States. Through years of hard work and an entrepreneurial spirit, she went on to own and operate multiple successful restaurants. Now based in Spokane, she brings decades of restaurant experience to Izzie’s K-Dogs, where she works alongside her daughter, Izzie. Mida is proud to share the culture, traditions, and spirit of Indonesia with the Spokane community.

✨ Izzie Wayuono was born and raised in South Florida, and grew up immersed in both her Indonesian heritage and the restaurant world. After eventually making her way to Spokane, she carried those influences with her and founded Izzie’s K-Dogs, a Korean corn dog restaurant in the heart of downtown. As a second-generation Indonesian American, Izzie is passionate about creating spaces that bring people together and finding new ways to celebrate and share Asian culture with the Spokane community. She’s excited to celebrate Indonesian Independence Day alongside her mom, Mida, and share a piece of their culture together.

✨ Christopher Anderson is a 14-year old violinist and pianist, and has been a member of the Spokane Youth Symphony for 7 years. He’s competed and performed in a lot of venues, and recently performed in Sydney Opera House and Sydney Conservatorium of Music in Australia.

Many of us were already carrying a lot this year, and the fires across Spokane are making that weight feel even heavier.⁠
⁠
For Asian and Asian American, immigrant, and refugee families, moments like this can come with added layers, helping elders understand changing information, caring for multiple generations, navigating language barriers, and trying to stay strong for the people we love.⁠
⁠
It is okay not to know exactly how to feel or respond right now. There is no right way to move through a moment like this. Whatever is coming up for you is valid and welcome.⁠
⁠
If you need a little grounding space away from the news and social media right now, come take a breath with community together. There is no pressure to talk or share. Enjoy a free coffee or tea, take a moment for your well-being, or simply sit with others.⁠
⁠
Sometimes we come into a space needing support. Sometimes, just by being there, we become part of the support for someone else.⁠
⁠
🗓️ Wednesday, August 5 | 5PM⁠
📍 Jupiter's Eye Book Cafe (411 W 1st Ave Suite 101, Spokane WA)⁠
🍵 Free and open to drop-ins. No registration needed.⁠
⁠
Mental health professionals will be present if you would like additional care or support. We will also share current fire, clean-air, and community resources.⁠
⁠
Thank you to for providing the space and to for sharing community resources with us!
