Join the Protests of the Detention Centers
At Northwest Detention Center
1623 E J St, Tacoma, WA 98421
This year at the UUA General Assembly the delegates passed a Responsive Resolution to support the protests happening at detention centers across the country in solidarity with the efforts to close Delaney Hall in New Jersey.
The sad truth is that we do not need to go to New Jersey on July 13th to protest. Here in Tacoma, WA we have our own detention center run by the same company that owns Delaney Hall, GEO group.
JUUstice Washington, the UU State Action Network, has been in communication with La Resistencia and they have asked us to show up in protest, to support their work.
The local Quakers have planned a protest rally at the Northwest Detention Center on July 25th in collaboration with La Resistencia. Both groups have asked Unitarian Universalists to be there with them in protest.
We would like to see 100 UUs from the Pacific Northwest to come to this protest in support of Immigrants and in protest of the illegal and often inhumane treatment. Wear your yellow t-shirts, hats, etc. and bring a sign (Shut Down NWDC; Stop Ripping Families Apart; Stop ICE Raids; Stop the Deportations; Side With Love: We Love Our Immigrant Neighbors, No Human is Illegal, etc.)
Email Rev. Nancy Reid-McKee (nancyrm@juustwa.org) to let her know if you plan to attend so she can let the Quaker and La Resistencia people know how many we might anticipate.

Training to Become an Accompaniment Volunteer
Kitsap Immigrant Assistance Center
3627 Wheaton Way, Suite 106, Bremerton

Navigating the immigration system can be overwhelming, but no one should have to do it alone. KIAC is looking for compassionate volunteers to accompany community members to important immigration appointments, including Immigration Court, USCIS biometrics appointments, ICE check-ins, and ISAP appointments.
Accompaniment volunteers do not provide legal advice. Instead, they offer something equally important: a supportive presence during what can often be stressful experiences.
Join us for our upcoming Accompaniment Training to learn what accompaniment looks like,
Even if you're not sure whether volunteering is right for you, you're welcome to attend the training to learn more.
