The Border Crossed Us: A History of Movement, Border-Making, and What that Means for Us Today
Come to the first social for the Immigrant Justice Working Group! Meet new people. Find out how you can plug in and help out. Socialize with the people you have already been working with, or meet some of the people you want to work with. Hear about what the IJWG has been getting done and is about to do. Learn something. Relax, unwind, eat, drink, plan, plot.
At 5:30, we’ll meet to socialize, eat, and drink.
At 6:30, we’ll hear announcements about what’s happening in the Immigrant Justice Working Group.

This will be followed by a short talk by IJWG member and US Immigration historian, Randa Tawil. Any time left over will be taken up by more socializing. Information about opportunities for working with IJWG will be available throughout the evening.

More information about the presentation :The Border Crossed Us: A History of Movement, Border-Making, and What that Means for Us Today “We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us” is a common saying among indigenous people from the US-Mexico border to Palestine. How did borders come about, and how have people resisted them? In this talk, immigration historian, Randa Tawil, will give a brief history of mobility and border control in the US, focusing on the policing of black, Indian, Mexican, and Asian free and unfree labor—and continual forms of resistance. Focusing on the intertwined histories of working people, Tawil will give a historical and theoretical background to where we are today, and what we can do about it.

In the 2013 film, “Who Is Dayani Cristal?,” the background of a Central American migrant worker and the fatal journey he took to reach the United States is explored as a microcosm of our country’s harsh immigration and border policies. After the film, there will be a brief discussion about the factors that have contributed to this dark reality, how the immigration system manifests locally, and what we can do individually and collectively to fight back and create a better world.

Close the Camps Rally
Saturday October 12th, 2-4 pm
Amazon Spheres in Downtown Seattle!
The Democratic Socialists of America invite you to join us in protesting the inhumane, illegal, and unconstitutional immigration system, as we bring attention and shame to the Trump Administration and the corporate collaborators harvesting human misery for profit! We’ll be holding a rally outside the Amazon Spheres in downtown Seattle, gathering on the corner of 6th & Lenora, from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday October 12th.
Our demands are simple and just; urgent and necessary; personal and powerful:
Abolish ICE! End all raids and all deportations! End courthouse arrests! Enforce Keep Washington Working! Close the Northwest ICE Processing Center and all private prisons! Divest the city of Seattle from GEO and private prisons! End the relationship between Big Tech and ICE! Recognize the Duwamish Tribe and their right to the land! And above all:
CLOSE THE CAMPS!
At the rally, we’ll be gathering signatures for a Peoples’ Petition with our demands that we’ll deliver to Seattle City Hall, and collecting funds for the Fair Fight Bond Fund!
If your organization would like to endorse this action, please contact Seattle DSA at immigration@seattledsa.org. We are also soliciting speakers for this event – endorsers guaranteed a speaker’s slot!

PRINCIPLES OF THE SDSA IJWG CLOSE THE CAMPS TEAM
We reject a global system that facilitates the movement of capital across borders but denies human beings the freedom to live with dignity in the communities of their choice. We demand full and equal rights for all regardless of citizenship, an end to all forms of immigrant detention and imprisonment, and a humane, publicly funded immigration system that actively supports people who choose to move to the United States.
The Seattle DSA Immigration Justice Working Group (SDSA IJWG) works in solidarity with immigrant-led organizations to provide immediate material support to people harmed by our immigration system; and offers a socialist analysis of our immigration system in order to build political will for a socialist world without detention or second class citizenship for anyone. A better world is possible!
In Solidarity, The Seattle DSA Immigrant Justice Working Group

Immigrant Justice Working Group Meeting
2020-02-16 12:00 - 14:00 | Rainier Beach Public Library, 3801 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA, United States
The Seattle DSA Immigrant Justice Working Group (IJWG) will be holding its first meeting of 2020 on Sunday February 16th from 12-2pm at the Rainier Beach library.

Online: Covid-19, Shutdown NWDC, & End Trans Detention Webinar
2020-03-15 12:30 - 14:30
After quite a bit of deliberation, the organizers of the End Trans Detention Solidarity Day have decided to move this gathering online! The webinar is titled: How’s it all connected? COVID-19, Shutdown NWDC, & End Trans Detention. Our assessment is that the risks of gathering in person right now are too high, and we want to lean into our collective responsibility to reduce the spread of COVID-19 while still showing up to #ShutdownNWDC and #EndTransDetention.
For that reason, we are still planning to gather– but we’ll be doing it online! Call in information will be sent to everyone who registered using the RSVP link above. You can call in using a phone, or join via the internet on a smart phone or computer.
During the webinar, you can expect updates on the following:
*Coronavirus & NWDC: What we know and what we are demanding
*What’s happening with the campaign to release all the trans women who were transferred to NWDC
*Why are the struggles to #EndTransDetention, address Coronavirus, and #ShutdownNWDC linked?
We’ll have speakers from Familia: Trans Queer Liberation Movement, Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network, and La Resistencia online on Sunday March 15 from 12:30-2:30 pm.
#ChingaLaMigra #ShutdownNWDC #EndTransDetention
Special thanks to DSA Seattle, DSA Tacoma, WAISN, Familia and La Resistencia for all the original planning for this event. Our hope is to find a time to reschedule an in person version of this solidarity day once it is deemed safer to do so!

No Honeymoon for Biden - First Action Planning Meeting
2020-12-27 14:00 - 15:30 | Eightball Cafe in Everett, 2727 Colby Ave, Everett, WA, United States
President-elect Biden has made clear from the moment he was elected that he plans to oversee a neoliberal, racist, business-as-usual agenda during his term. From his appointment of corporate lobbyists like Tom Vilsack, a dairy/ago-industry exec, to vehemently underscoring how he will not use executive action to pass a progressive agenda, it’s clear that Biden is more interested in punching left than providing a way forward to the millions of people struggling right now.
If we let this do-nothing agenda go unchallenged, we can be certain we will be facing a Trump 2.0 situation in four years. That’s why it’s vital the left comes together on Day 1 of Biden’s administration to get organized and show our commitment to fighting for Black Lives Matter, real COVID relief, Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and an end to deportations and detentions. We have four years to get organized and build a working-class alternative.
Seattle DSA will be organizing an Inauguration Day (or week) event in January to help bring the left together and fight for our shared demands. If you’re interested in helping plan this action, come to our first planning meeting!
RSVP here for zoom info!

District 2 Meeting: Trump's Gone, Now What? Fighting for What We Need During the Biden Presidency
2021-01-30 15:00 - 16:30 | Eightball Cafe in Everett, 2727 Colby Ave, Everett, WA, United States
While together we breathe a collective sigh of relief over Trump’s departure, we also know that these crises pre-date Trump and that the very conditions that led to the rise of Trumpism remain completely intact: massive wealth inequality, corporate money dominating our political system, mass incarceration, low-wage jobs, and a wholly inadequate private healthcare system that leaves 40 million uninsured. Many of these policies were created or expanded under the Obama/Biden administration, including the deportation of 2.7 million people.
Join District 2 DSA for a discussion about how we can organize for what we need under a Biden presidency. What are the challenges and opportunities for the socialist movement?

Disrupting Climate Colonialism: Can We Change Dynamics at UN COP26?
2021-04-29 17:30 - 19:00 | Online, Seattle, WA, United States
The United States, as a global superpower, has an outsize influence on the UN Conference of the Parties (COP), the international meeting where countries agree on how to fight climate change. International cooperation is indispensable to fighting a global problem like climate change.
What is climate colonialism? How has the United States influenced previous UN conferences? What role does American and multinational finance/capital play in the UN COP? How can workers and ordinary people use their power to change the current catastrophic course?
This panel serves as an introduction to the UN COP ahead of the November 2021 convening. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet in breakout rooms and share their thoughts with one another.
Keynote from Dr. Doreen E. Martinez (Colorado State University), Sociology PhD and noted Indigenous scholar and author.

Emergency Protest: Free Zahid!
2025-08-24 14:00 - 17:00 | Northwest Detention Center, 1623 E J St, Tacoma, WA 98421, USA
Join Seattle DSA and our coalition partners to demand the immediate release of Zahid Chaudhry, a 52-year-old decorated and disabled U.S. veteran, who was detained today by ICE during a citizenship interview in Tukwila, WA.
Neither Zahid nor Melissa have been informed of the legal basis for Zahid’s detention.
We will be carpooling down to the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma together. Please indicate you need a ride when RSVP’ing, and an organizer will reach out to you.
We must continue to stand against the unlawful detention of our community members. Seattle DSA will always stand in solidarity with all those who have fallen victim to our ever-expanding police state. #FreeThemAll
