Washington Build Back Black Alliance (WBBA)

Unified Mission
Launched in the fall of 2020, the Washington Build Back Black Alliance (#WBBA) was founded to create generational wealth and economic prosperity for all Washingtonians, with a commitment to uplifting historically underserved and marginalized communities. WBBA unites nonprofit executives, business leaders, and community advocates to work collaboratively—connecting young people with experienced professionals, building knowledge through cooperative education, and driving impact through community engagement.

Mission
WBBA leads through advocacy, education, and community engagement. We amplify the voices of Black, BIPOC, and other underrepresented communities while advancing policies and solutions that strengthen equity statewide. By convening community-based organizations and minority business leaders, we work together to achieve change in seven priority areas:

• Economic Development

• Environmental Justice

• Edcuation (Preschool, K-12, Post-secondary and STEM/Robotics)

• Digital Equity

• Healthcare Equity

• Criminal Justice Reform

• Food Security

Collectively, our team bring over 60 years of national experience in public policy and social justice, backed by a shared commitment to building a more equitable future for everyone.

Vision
With clarity, conviction, and courage, we unapologetically give voice to those too often silenced or ignored, while demanding that every community, from the margins to the mainstream, has the resources, opportunities, and power to thrive.

Membership
WBBA is an invitation-only, partnership-based membership, capped at 20 organizations. Each member is recognized as a transformative leader in advancing equity, driving systemic change, and strengthening the prosperity of Washington State as a whole.
