ESTELITAS LIBRARY is a community library and online bookstore with books focused on social justice, ethnic studies, and liberation movements. We invite everyone to use our library space as a community center to cozy up with a book, learn about social justice, and connect with other likeminded people. This year we added to the space by constructing a bathroom and storage area, and partnered with the City of Seattle to place electric car chargers outside.

FREEDOM HOUSE AND CULTURAL CENTER - We have secured a purchase agreement for an 8,000 square foot site in Seattles Beacon Hill neighborhood where the Freedom House and Cultural Center will be a bustling cultural hub for our community and a direct response to the ongoing gentrification of Beacon Hill and the displacement of Black and Brown communities in the City of Seattle. We are currently running a capital campaign and environmental restoration work on the site.
