Every year, we come together from across Washington State to make our voices heard and demand change at the Capitol. This is a day where we show the power of our communities, advocating for the policies that matter most to immigrant and refugee families. Join us in Olympia on Thursday, January 30, 2025, and be part of this incredible movement for justice. We will march, rally, and engage directly with legislators, showing them that immigrant and refugee communities will not be ignored. This day is about more than participating in activities—it’s about building our collective consciousness around the importance of our campaigns, such as the Health Equity for Immigrants, a bill to codify and fully fund the Apple Health Expansion Program to ensure coverage for all eligible low-income immigrants and refugees, and continued funding for Cascade Care subsidies. We are also fighting for Unemployment Insurance for Undocumented Workers, a bill to create and fully fund a program that provides unemployment benefits equivalent to those available to Washington residents with employment authorization. But our fight doesn’t stop there. While these are our primary campaigns, we also continue to push for secondary priorities that reflect the breadth of our advocacy: Ending Collaboration Between ICE and the Department of Corrections: Stopping the transfer of immigrants from state prisons to immigration detention centers. Restricting Solitary Confinement: Limiting its use in state and private detention facilities to only the most extreme cases. Traffic Safety for All: Deprioritizing traffic stops for non-safety reasons and supporting low-income drivers. State Legal Defense Fund: Securing state funding to support immigrants navigating the legal system. Support for Newly Arrived Migrants: Increasing resources for newcomers seeking asylum and other protections in Washington. Rent Stabilization: Protecting tenants from abusive rent increases. Domestic Workers Bill of Rights: Ensuring fair labor protections for domestic workers.
