KL Shannon (she/her), Community Organizer., is a longtime organizer who grew up in Seattle’s Central District and started her organizing career with Jobs with Justice and Mothers for Police Accountability. KL’s body of organizing work includes issues that impact communities of color: Economic Justice, Housing, Immigration, Police Accountability, and Transportation. KL is helping to raise her fourteen-year-old nephew and actively support him by disrupting the school yard-to-prison pipeline that snags our black and brown boys.

KL’s passion for making a difference in our community and for our people found a home in Seattle Neighborhood Greenways and Whose Streets? Our Streets!, she loves being here and we love her here. KL is especially looking forward to collaborating, engaging, and learning from the folks that are holding it down in The Central Area to Rainier Beach areas!
