OUR STORY

Creative Justice (CJ), an arts-based healing organization, operates the Creative Cafe, an arts-based healing engaged restorative justice organization that facilitates arts, healing, and economic growth opportunities for Black, Indigenous, and Brown youth and young adults disproportionately impacted by mass incarceration and the school-to-prison pipeline.

Black Power Unlimited (BPU) is an anchor tenant of Washington Hall, playing a key role in the renovation and preservation of the space. BPU continues to build on the vision of Rahwa Habte, one of its founders, a beloved community organizer and cultural innovator who transitioned to be with our ancestors in 2020.

In the spirit of Rahwa’s work and commitment to community, we aim to continue building and sustaining an intergenerational space for artists and cultural workers from the Black and African Diaspora to thrive.

Together, BPU and CJ sought to revitalize the space, reopen the Cafe, and fortify this intergenerational space in the historically Black Central District of Seattle.
