Prepare Our Community to Resist ICE
Image by Chad Davis via Wikimedia Commons The Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN)/Thurston Rapid Response Team is offering training to build skills and confidence in approaching businesses, restaurants, community organizations, etc. to share strategies of ICE resistance with managers and staff with the goal of increasing protection of workers, customers, clients, and neighbors. Participants will learn about employer-specific rights for trying to safeguard "private" space where ICE thugs do not have permission to enter without signed and dated judicial warrants. We will share materials from WAISN and do some roleplays to get more comfortable with visiting different kinds of businesses. The workshop is on Monday, January 26th at 6:30 PM- 8:30 PM in downtown Olympia. Participants will leave as better prepared, immigrant justice engaged community members! Please fill out this form to reserve your spot. You'll receive a confirmation email with the specific location. https://forms.gle/iYHaLetx9sGMpkMG8 Ideally, participants would have already attended a Know Your Rights (KYR) training, but if not, register anyway and be sure to attend a KYR training soon. WAISN is offering a bilingual online KYR training on 3/11 at 6pm.

Service Makes us Stronger
Part of an effective democracy is caring for our community members. The safety net that supports our communities is under attack. Federal grants are in danger, and our state budget is tight. Local support is needed more than ever! The Olympia Indivisible Social Safety Net team (OISSN) connects you with opportunities to help service organizations in the Olympia and surrounding areas (including parts of Lewis and Mason counties). If you are a service organization in need of more donations or volunteers please reach out to us at Contact the Social Safety Net Team and we will do our best to get your needs met.
