Bend It Like Booker

Connecting Communities Across the Country

Inspired by Senator Cory Booker’s record-setting filibuster, “Bend It Like Booker” is a 25-hour speaker series hosted by our Programs and Community Partnerships Committee. In 2025, BILB brought together elected leaders, experts from diverse backgrounds, community organizers, and artists to share about their passions and the negative impacts of the Trump Administration on our communities.

We even got to hear from Governor Bob Ferguson, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, and Senator Cory Booker himself!

Not only was the event open to in-person guests, we livestreamed the whole thing and recorded the content for anyone who was unable to attend. To enjoy BILB, just click on the image to the left to go to the event’s stand-alone YouTube channel.

Spreading the Word

In 2025, our organizers joined Jennie Cecil Moore on 91.3 KBCS to talk about “Bend It Like Booker” and what we hoped to offer the community with this event. You can hear their interview by clicking the pink button, which will take you to KBCS’s SoundCloud.
