Global Action Coalition (GAC) was founded in 2011 to address the needs and issues faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, including injustice and inequality.
Our mission is to leverage technology to empower youth, refugees, and immigrants in the areas of health, technology, and nature, enabling them to thrive within their communities.
We aim to connect the community and nonprofit services to benefit refugees, immigrants, and the BIPOC community to foster wellness educational programs and initiatives for these communities.
GAC envisions communities coming together to help refugees and immigrants feel at home, understand the local language and ways, and access opportunities for improvement. Our core values are shared, common goals, and respect. We thrive on diversity and aim to make a difference in our community.
We are inclusive and work with, not just for, refugees, immigrants, and the BIPOC community. We believe everyone deserves access to quality care, professional mental support, career coaching, and support regardless of their circumstances and race. We strive to provide underserved communities with the tools and education to help them thrive, access healthcare, and strengthen their communities.
We wanted to cast light on issues faced by BIPOC and aim to transform the communities with education and technology to uplift and support people in their struggles for fundamental human rights. It brings individuals and organizations together to challenge the institutions and processes perpetuating Institutional Oppression, poverty, and inequalities. Together, we use technologies to preserve and promote fundamental human rights, educational justice, food justice, gender justice, social justice, climate justice, and the security needed for the dignity and peace of all humanity in Seattle WA.
