We Heart Seattle (FKA I Heart Downtown Seattle)

We Heart Seattle is an action-based, boots-on-the-ground movement that organizes trash cleanups in our public spaces and offers resources to those in need.  Through our direct civic engagement we lead the way to a more compassionate and healthy community.

To meet these goals, we:

• Organize regular volunteer trash cleanups in public spaces
• Offer individualized assistance to those in need 
• Create a sense of community by welcoming everyone to be involved in real civic engagement
• Build a network of people who no longer walk by neighbors in need and areas needing repair while expecting someone else to help
• Utilize all available safe housing, shelters, and treatment facilities for anyone who is ready
• House our neighbors quickly without the typical restrictions, delays and inefficiency that has kept many on the streets
• Clean up litter and eradicate graffiti
• Develop great partnerships with like-minded stakeholders
• Work cooperatively with city and county employees and leaders
