Mission

TRU organizes for economic justice including better public transit, stronger renter protections & labor standards, and progressive funding for public goods and services in Seattle and King County. In 2022, our main areas of work included leading a campaign to raise the minimum wage in the city of Tukwila; continuing to organize for stronger renter protection policies in jurisdictions across King County; continuing direct "mutual aid" work with people living unsheltered in Seattle; and opposing the siting of a proposed Amazon distribution center in South Seattle.
