The Spokane Alliance Delegate Council has commissioned the following four Research Action Teams, based on our collective interests and energy. Each Research Action Teams will analyze the current landscape on their topic, conduct people-led research on concrete, specific and winnable solutions, and come back to the Delegate Council with a power analysis of what it would take to move the needle. Teams are open to members of Spokane Alliance institutions and institutions actively exploring membership.
