Announcing Stay In & Cheer!

Updated: Mar 31, 2020



Hello friends,

As you all well know, the Human Coronavirus, or COVID-19, has created a very challenging situation for our community and the world as a whole. We want to reassure you that your health and safety are our top priority. With that in mind, we have decided to cancel our 9th annual Stand Up and Cheer luncheon, which was scheduled for April 21. Though we will not meet together, we will be holding an online campaign to keep you updated about the progress we've made over the past year, which has been significant, and give you an opportunity to continue your support of our amazing Scholars.

In the weeks to come, you will receive a number of emails, and see blog posts and social media posts featuring testimonials from a number of our partners, and messages from our students about the importance of our work and why we need you to continue to support it.

The Stand Up and Cheer fundraising luncheon represents a significant portion of our budget. Though we have canceled the event out of concern for your health, it is key to our health as an organization that you continue to show up and to show up big, as you have done in years past.

Though we may not be able to gather in one room and celebrate together, we can all Stand Up and Cheer from a distance. I thank you in advance for your continued support.

With much love and gratitude,

Jonathan Jackson

 SUPPORT OUR MISSION TODAY!

Palmer Scholars acknowledges that our work is carried out on, and our office space is located within, occupied Coast Salish land, specifically that of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous peoples. To acknowledge this land is to recognize its longer history and our place in that history; it is to recognize these lands and waters and their significance for the peoples who lived and continue to live in this region, whose practices and spiritualties were and are tied to the land and the water, and whose lives continue to enrich and develop in relationship to the land, waters, and other inhabitants today.

 

We also pause to recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built.

We remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the U.S. from the African continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We also acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who contributed to the building of the country and continue to serve within our labor force. We acknowledge all unpaid care-giving labor.

 

To the people who contributed this immeasurable work and their descendants, we acknowledge our/their indelible mark on the spaces in which we operate today. It is our collective responsibility to critically interrogate these histories, to repair harm, and to honor, protect, and sustain this land.
