Good Afternoon:

Happy New Year! From the Commission on African American Affairs’ staff and board, we wanted to share some exciting news with you, on the Governor proposals to accelerate Washington State’s economic recovery.

The plan includes new reforms to free up cash for our state’s small businesses to help them grow and hire, as well as strategies to help those hardest hit by the recession to receive the training necessary to land a job and pump more money into our local economies.

Best Wishes Always!
From the staff and board of the Commission on African American Affairs.

Local nonprofit organization Tincan uses information technology and interactive media for education and community development.

July 30 2011 the Spokane Black Agenda Summit breakout group on Communication and Culture expressed an interest in developing better communication for the African American community through the use of all forms of media including online forums, visual media and community TV. Tincan is there to provide the skills necessary to do this.

Don’t ask what Obama has done for you, ask what we have done since Obama has been elected. Let us gather skills and work on solutions. Visit the Tincan website to see what workshops are coming up:   tincan.org
