The Collaborative Action Network is an innovative program of the North Sound ACH (Accountable Community of Health). BLC's membership in this Network allows the church to form partnerships, and work collaboratively with individuals and organizations that are dedicated to vibrant and healthy communities, and the necessary conditions for all to thrive!
Network members are organizations, agencies, collectives, and individuals seeking equitable outcomes within Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom counties, and our region’s eight Tribal nations. Our members represent more than 150 organizations across many sectors, from clinical and social services to transformational justice, food systems, education, refugee and immigrant services, animal welfare, faith-based communities, LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, and so much more. Through the Network, we foster collaborations that break down silos, build relationships, promote resource sharing, and create learning opportunities.
Through a trust relationship, we strive to create a more just, equitable world for all communities, grounded in fairness, compassion, and belief in each other's agency and lived experience.
