Sanctuary Stories: What’s Happening in Seattle?

Seattle is a Sanctuary City for immigrants facing deportation. But what does that really mean for people on the ground? Are vulnerable people truly being protected? Who is protecting them? How can we grow this movement that is so fundamental to our democracy and human rights?

Come here from YES! Magazine editors and reporters covering the issue, and from key leaders in Seattle’s immigrant rights community. In interactive break-out sessions with movement leaders, you’ll learn how you can get involved.

Panelists:

Lorena Gonzalez, Seattle City Councilmember
Maru Mora Villalpando, Northwest Detention Center Resistance and Mijente
Michael Ramos, Executive Director, Church Council of Greater Seattle
Representative from Northwest Immigrant Rights Project
(Moderator) Shannon Stoll, Sanctuary Issue Editor, YES! Magazine
