Amplifying Cultural Communities

EchoX is dedicated to advocating for digital equity, using technology and storytelling to uplift and amplify the voices of the Northwest’s diverse cultural communities.

EchoX believes every cultural community should be seen, heard, and valued

Amplifying Cultural Communities means making these voices stronger, increasing their visibility, and ensuring their stories are shared and celebrated. By using digital tools and the power of storytelling, we help diverse communities connect with a broader audience and make a lasting impact. Our online cultural resource center does this through these key initiatives:

Voices

A curated digital newsfeed featuring stories and articles that amplify diverse community voices, sharing thoughtful narratives about culture, heritage, and identity.

Digitize

A youth-driven program providing a supportive environment for teens and young adults to collaborate on multimedia storytelling, build digital literacy, and amplify their voices.

Calendar

A community-powered calendar featuring local public event listings and cultural activities. Curious about what to do this weekend? Explore the events in your area!
