Our Mission
To build collective power and create equity by connecting diverse organizations and challenging systems.
In 2009, Spokane leaders founded Greater Spokane Progress (GSP) as a regional network of the statewide Win/Win Network. We brought together diverse organizations to strengthen our collective capacity to create long-term change in our community. Today, we are locally-led and independent!
GSP is a permanent network of nearly 40 organizations that drives progressive change by connecting and supporting diverse organizations. We support and engage the network in BIPOC-led organizing and the work of aligned organizations and coalitions throughout the Spokane region. Our policy goals are driven by the network and include housing justice, police accountability, rights for immigrants and refugees, smart justice, civil rights and equity, climate justice, and expanding and protecting democracy.
GSP plays an unique role by providing coordination and organizing capacity to support work led by BIPOC and other impacted communities through coalitions and engagement of GSP’s diverse membership. We use an intersectional racial equity lens in all of our work because racism and discrimination divides our community and is a barrier to our mission of bringing people and communities together.
Our network’s organizations are working together to advance our collective vision through policy wins to effect real, lasting change in Spokane and create equity in our community.
