The Institute for Washington’s Future has a longstanding partnership with Community to Community Development toward creation of a just and sustainable regional food economy. Our current vision is to establish a Solidarity Economy Center in Whatcom County that will support cooperative development and redistribution of land and equity in Skagit and Whatcom Counties, as a model for communities across our state.

Mission/Vision
We believe that another world is possible and we are active participants with other popular people’s movements.
We strive to reclaim our humanity by redefining power in order to end settler colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy in their external and internalized forms.
Towards this end we:
- Empower under-represented peoples to have an equal voice in decision making processes
- Develop cross-cultural awareness
- Restore justice to our food, land and cultural practices
- Promote community relationships towards self-reliance
- Work in solidarity with those that strive towards human rights for all
- Rescue the value of feminine intellect and leadership
