Upon graduating she began work as an organizer at the local Planned Parenthood, where she mentored college and high school students, educated folks on healthy relationships, uplifted civic engagement, and advocated for policies that would help people both in and outside of Spokane.
She also serves as the Board President of Asians for Collective Liberation, is the Chair for the city’s Equity Subcommittee, and was the Organizing Director for Pro-Choice Washington. This work has taught her that everyone’s voice and perspective is important. That we all deserve to have a roof over our heads, food on the table, clean water, and so much more.
Sarah’s near decade-long career in community organizing has prepared her to build connections, engage in dialogue, and take action. Her campaign focuses on Affordable Housing, Community Safety, and Protecting Democracy. District 1 deserves more, and Sarah Dixit is ready to deliver.- Accountability makes our leaders and our city stronger by calling them in when their actions don't reflect the needs of the community. To do so starts with and requires trusting relationships between people of all backgrounds and their elected officials. Sarah is committed to listening to the voices of people from every neighborhood in District 1, not only during this campaign but during her term of service. From Bemiss to Whitman, Chief Garry Park to Shiloh Hills, Sarah will proudly represent you in city hall.
- Our city motto is ,"In Spokane We All Belong." It is an aspiration that Sarah is driven by because everyone deserves to feel like they have a place here, regardless of their identity, income, or zip code. Belonging begins with our mutual love and respect for each other and is strengthened by policies that build upon the humanity we share rather than feeding into division and isolation. Sarah is committed to bringing folks together, creating spaces where everyone can have their needs heard, and join in to create meaningful solutions.
- While belonging is an individual and collective feeling, community is belonging in action. A healthy, thriving community is one where we all have our basic needs met. Where we have the opportunities and resources to invest in our families, our businesses, and our city. Sarah believes in the power of collective action to create systems and structures that will lift us all up together and leave no one behind.
