What We Do
The IJWG stands in solidarity with people caught in the US deportation machine. We act in coordination with immigrant-led organizations in Washington state to support immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers to effect lasting change. We support education towards a socialist perspective on immigration. We recognize borders have been used to limit the movement of Black, brown, and indigenous people throughout history.
This group is for anyone with a passion for justice for immigrants. We’re also always looking for members with conversational fluency in languages other than English to expand our reach to non-English speaking communities!
