Time for Seafair Change!
Goals of the Seafair Climate Action Campaign:
- Exclude military fighter jet participation from the annual Seafair Air Show
- Join with the people of King County to re-create a Seafair that celebrates the region’s community traditions, especially those that help build resilience in the face of the climate crisis
- Collaborate with others around the country to call attention to the harmful waste of resources, pollution, and carbon emissions resulting from military airshows
Help recreate a better Seafair
To actively participate in the recreation of Seafair, you can engage in several ways:
- Share the campaign on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram
- Sign the petition advocating for uninviting the military airshow and supporting reimagining Seafair
- Participate in the demonstration on August 3rd and 4th as a powerful way to show solidarity and advocate for positive changes within Seafair. This public gathering will serve as a platform for individuals to voice your opinion, share ideas, and engage in constructive dialogue with all of us involved in reorganizing Seafair.
- Spread awareness through talking with friends and neighbors about the reimagined Seafair and its focus on showcasing Seattle’s unique beauty and cultural richness.
- Write emails and letters to local official organizations such as the Seattle Parks Department and Seattle City Council to influence decision-making regarding event planning and programming.
By actively getting involved through social media engagement, petition signing, writing letters to officials, and participating in demonstrations, you can play a crucial role in shaping the future of Seafair and ensuring it reflects the values and aspirations of the Seattle community.
