UW’s Gallagher Law Library has compiled a list of social justice-based organizations throughout Washington State. Many of these offer opportunities to volunteer and engage in advocacy to contribute to a more equitable and inclusive state, country, and ultimately world. We encourage you to persue through these if you are looking for ways to get involved:
