From Dan and Linda S.
Dear Skyline Friends –
We are writing this save the date alert for an important upcoming event at Skyline. We have helped organize the appearance of Malou Chavez, Executive Director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, on 4/15 at 11 am. Malou will be speaking in the Mt. Baker room, and answering questions about current immigration issues and what NWIRP is doing
Attacking immigrants was one of Donald Trump’s signature campaign issues—and is now playing out in numerous ways. This has taken the form of slurs, illegal arrests, incarcerations, summary removals to a third country contract prison, and defiance of federal court orders.
We are lucky to have a strong immigrant rights organization in Seattle that for more than 40 years has been working hard to stand up for the rule of law and to defend the rights of immigrants.
We hope you’ll be able to take advantage of this opportunity to hear Malou. Linda and I helped found this organization in the mid-1980s, were both on the Board for many years, and remain strong supporters.
