Come join over 100 community leaders and residents across South Seattle to launch an effort to ensure that their communities are able to get good jobs!

Community leaders and members will make the case to elected officials that a new city ordinance is necessary to create opportunity in the form of local construction jobs. It is time for the City of Seattle to have a "Targeted Local Hire" Ordinance!

The City of Seattle is positioned to create up to 3,000 good, living wage construction jobs annually for the next six years around major public works projects in the area. This is happening while unemployment in the Rainier Valley is increasingly higher than the rest of the City. A healthy portion of these jobs being created need to reach the disadvantaged workers in the most need of employment.

This Saturday, come join community leaders and members in conversation with elected officials in a Targeted Local Hire Ordinance. Our communities should be able to live where they work and have good, local jobs!

The Community Jobs Forum for Targeted Local Hire is this Saturday ( March 23) from 11am-1pm at Southside Commons Auditorium in Columbia City. Click here to RSVP! Come make your voice heard!
