Final Cascadia Flag Image in Reddit's /r/Place
On April 1st 2022, social news site Reddit relaunched their strange, collaborative, combative art project known as /r/Place, the second of such a challenge, with the first taking place on April 1, 2017. As part of this project, several hundred Cascadians worked together for four days, day and night - to ensure we got an amazing Cascadia flag into the final image.

New PRIDE Gear is in!
Just in time for Pride, we are so excited for our first ever Cascadia PRIDE Resource kits, and a whole host of new Cascadia gear. For the first time, we’ve got a whole range of Non-Binary, Trans and Rainbow pins, stickers, patches and flags, and have also just created a new Cascadia “Progress” Lapel Pin, and have created a new PVC velcro stick Cascadia Rainbow Pride Patch. Because of popular demand, we’ve also re-upped our Cascadia PRIDE stickers with the trans colors in the trees.

Cascadia HQ: March Updates
2021 U.S. Census Redistricting: Exploring Watershed Based Voting Districts
Every 10 years, the United States completely erases current voting district borders, and creates new ones using census data that has tracked demographic changes over the past ten years.
How these districts are drawn is incredibly important, and in many states, is used as a tool of disenfranchisement, racism, and reinforcing voter disparities. Ensuring a fair voter redistricting process is one of the most important ways to ensure equity, transparency and accountability in our democratic institutions. This process is currently underway, and voting commissions are being formed to explore the best way to redraw these districts.
We've launched a Cascadia Discord Server!

Join the Cascadia Election Response Network
When we organize, we win.
Since November 3rd, we have had more than 1200 people sign up to join our Cascadia Election Response Network. More than just about any one candidate or election, we see this as a pivotal moment in history when we must start preparing networks of mutual aid, local resilience, training and preparation for times of emergency, and if ever needed, civil disobedience. Be it an emergency, man made or natural, or fighting against the rising tide of fascism, climate change, economic inequity, systemic oppression or misinformation, we will be ready.
These types of networks don’t just happen. Historically, it is often the result of serious training. Time and again, we have demonstrated the power that unified, nonviolent, mass-action can have in the face of illegitimate regimes seeking to subvert the will of the people.
