ASUW stands in solidarity with the Black Student Union of UW Seattle and all Black students, faculty, and staff.
Activism and integrity are essential to making change, and we commend BSU’s hard work and perseverance.
Our UW community must reckon with its history as a racist institution. Now is the time to begin that process.
The ASUW Board of Directors insists that UW administration acknowledge and implement the necessary steps to successfully apply the seven demands identified by the Black Student Union.
1. Break all ties with SPD
2. Disarm & divest from UWPD
3. Allocate funds to Black RSOs and the American Ethnic Studies Department
4. Hire more Black faculty
5. Increase DIV credit requirements
6. Remove statues of racist figures
7. Fund and expand mental health resources for UW students
Hi Huskies! We're eager to serve you this Fall, and looking forward to supporting you in any way we can. In the meantime, we're still hiring! If you're looking to join an awesome community of changemakers and get paid to do important work, ASUW is the solution. Check out our Handshake (https://uw.joinhandshake.com/employers/349153) to read about the three available positions: the Office of Government Relations Outreach Coordinator, the Middle Eastern Student Commission Director, and the American Indian Student Commission Director. Applications are due next Friday, August 7th!
ASUW presents "Black Mental Health Matters: A Conversation with Charisse Williams, PhD." The first portion will be about sharing resources and talking about mental health, followed by a Q&A.
From Williams' UW counseling page, "I help people make meaning out of their suffering, which is often caused by external forces like oppression and trauma. I view each person as a holistic, cultural human being that has unique and common experiences that have shaped worldview and values."
Special thanks to ASUW leadership including the Black Student Commission, Rainy Dawg Radio, and UWs Counseling center.
ASUW Womxn's Action Commission
To our black communities that are apart of UW and beyond our campus, we stand with you and your fight for justice. To all who have been looking to support the movement, we have created a document with resources. It includes petitions, protest safety, lawyers for arrested protest, email outlines + phone scripts, and more. It’s not enough to stand in solidarity, we need to take action.

Join us for ASUW Open House for our office hours! It’s open to all students and even prospective UW students to learn more about what we do! Zoom link in our insta bio (@asuwseattle).
The Associated Students of the University of Washington would like to first and foremost thank everyone for the incredible support and community that has been displayed amidst the effects of COVID-19. The amount of Husky Pride we have seen in our community with so many of you stepping up to assist each other has showcased the strength of our students. We as the ASUW collectively have a deep and profound passion for serving the UW community and feel an obligation to do everything within our power to respond to this global pandemic.
We have made the decision to direct the remainder of our funds in the amount of $100,000 towards the ASUW Husky Pride Fund. We fully understand that the impacts of the stay at home order, social distancing, and the emotional stress and anxiety of this situation have put many students at risk of losing stable housing and access to food, and we hope that our donation alongside fundraising may relieve some of the stress individuals are facing. The Husky Pride Fund is just one example of the ways in which students have organized to make a larger change. The fund originally began with the idea to sell and design a “Husky Pride Tee” for a cause, selling it at countless events around campus and collecting change in the Hub Den. While you can still purchase the T-shirt from the UW Bookstore, and we hope that those of you who can do, we also recognize that we are now facing new circumstances which have increased the number of students in need on campus and the severity of need.
We are also currently reaching out to countless campus partners, calling on their support because while $100,000 will hopefully relieve the burden of a significant number of students our efforts can’t stop there and we must continue to work to support members of our husky community. Alongside our donation we have partnered with the UW Food Pantry to donate the remainder of our Bean Basket bulk dried food. The Food Pantry has been working non-stop to offer contact-free food assistance. We are extremely proud of our fellow Huskies, and by acknowledging that this is only the beginning we promise that we are dedicating ourselves to finding a way to preserve the pride that propels our community forward. Please reach out with any questions or concerns you have.
Apply now!!

ASUW Student Food Cooperative
Hi everyone! Just a reminder that the co-op will NOT be meeting this week or during finals week! We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during this time and we look forward to seeing you all next quarter!
UW Food Pantry
The UW Food Pantry will remain open as classes move online! Come visit during our regular hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9-1 PM and 4-6 PM.
We have been getting a lot of people asking how they can help, which reflects the awesome community spirit we have here at the UW. Here are a few ways:
1. Donate to our fund. We are aiming to limit points of contact between us and those wanting to help. We are experiencing a delay in our usual supply chain and during the next two weeks will be relying more on individual donations as we await a restock. Donating money allows us to purchase food through different avenues than we usually do and is just as valuable as you donating the food, it just limits the physical contact. https://www.washington.edu/giving/make-a-gift/?source_typ=3&source=HNGRFD
2. That being said, we are welcoming donations! Our items of need list can be found here and they can be donated during our opening hours.
3. Spread the word! There may be more people in need of our service than ever. We want people to know we are here for them. All you need to shop here is a Husky ID card. Please share, post, text, yell it out your window that we are open for shoppers and donations so we can continue to provide our service.
