Transcending Oppression
Streamed Live from Seattle!
There will NOT be an in-person meeting this month.
We are truly sorry.
Please take care of yourself and each other.
- How the mental health & legal systems keep other oppressions in place.
- The interlocking nature of all oppressions.
- Learn another tool to address, dismantle and transcend oppression.
Eleta K. Wright , MSW
Born into an Air Force family stationed in Japan, Eleta spent her early years outside the American racial landscape–only to be thrust into it as her family traveled to the northwest from the American south days before the assassination of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.
Eleta credits this early life experience for the formation of her life avocation: The building of bridges across difference. From her early teens, she has been dedicated to reaching across aisles, healing wounds, and reacquainting people with their latent humanity. Eleta’s approach to liberation work addresses multiple axes of oppression, paired with an approach that centers healing and reconciliation.
During a career that has spanned three decades, she has brought this approach to organizations such as: Washington State University, Seattle Rape Relief, Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse, New Beginnings, and the Black Church Project. She served as the chair of the Racial Justice and Heterosexism Awareness Committees at Washington State University, President of the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and was a founder of Black Men Against Domestic Violence in Snohomish County. Currently she serves on the Healthcare for the Homeless Network Governance Council and is a member of the leadership team of Liberation United Church of Christ, Seattle.
