People's Coalition for Justice

"The People's Coalition for Justice is a grassroots organization dedicated to mobilizing in our communities in order to build a long-term movement for social change.

"Our initial focus is to mobilize around the need for an independent civilian review board and greater police accountability in Seattle, but we plan to address other injustices identified by community members in the future.

"We are dedicated to maintaining leadership for the group by People of Color and committed anti-racist whites. We are dedicated to internal leadership development, accountability to Communities of Color, ongoing internal and external education and direct action."

- Delila Leber

Gay and Lesbian University Employees

"GLUE is an organization of gay, lesbian, bisexual, sexual minority, and other interested employees at the University of Washington." ...

"[GLUE's] classes include... 'Strategies for Dealing with Workplace Discrimination.' We are committed to education and providing a visible presence to the UW campus community. We... actively network with many other Gay and Lesbian organizations in Washington State.

"GLUE also lobbies hard for domestic partnership rights, working with others to expand benefit coverage to the limits of state legislation. GLUE enjoys a campus-wide membership that supports and encourages a powerful information and advice network."

"Harvey Muggy (1944-1991) was a grassroots political organizer with a vision. ... Like many gay activists, Harvey was triggered by the national anti-gay crusade of 1978. He registered voters, filled PCO positions with supporters, knew the issues and the candidates, and monitored elections precinct by precinct on maps like a general on a battlefield. He donated generously to political campaigns and made sure candidates knew it was 'gay money' that was supporting them. ...

"Harvey saw that even good friends could not stand up to the hateful rhetoric in the legislature as well as 'one of our own,' so he ran for 43rd District Representative in 1986. ... In 1988 he delivered the PCO votes that appointed Cal Anderson to the state legislature as the first openly gay representative in Washington.

"A child of Clallum-Irish parents, Harvey supported social justice for all as his motto stated: 'It is not enough to work for one group's civil liberties unless you work for all.' ...

"Harvey wasn't flashy - he just worked hard and had a lot of common sense and feeling for humanity. ...
