Advocacy
Native Lands
At Gay City, we acknowledge that Seattle sits on the stolen ancestral lands of the Coast Salish people.
Now, more than ever, it is imperative that we support Indigenous-led organizations and initiatives. The First People, today, still seek justice and funding to revive their culture and tribe.

Real Rent Duwamish
Real Rent calls on people who live and work in Seattle to make rent payments to the Duwamish Tribe. Though the city named for the Duwamish leader Chief Seattle thrives, the Tribe has yet to be justly compensated for their land, resources, and livelihood.
