Cosponsored by NWDC Resistance/Resistencia al NWDC and the Seattle International Socialist Organization

Speakers:
* Maru Mora Villalpando
* ShaCorrie Wimbley Tunkara

Trump’s most recent policy changes represent an escalation of what has already been a brutal war on immigrants in the U.S. for many years. Join us for a panel discussion about struggles in the Puget Sound region to defend immigrants and how you can get involved.

About the Speakers:

Maru Mora Villalpando is a community organizer with NWDC Resistance, grassroots volunteer group working to end all detentions and deportations in Washington state, and to shut down the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma WA. Maru is also a co-founder of MiJente, national political home for Latinx communities across the U.S. She is a single mother who has been recently targeted by ICE and put on deportation proceedings due to her work bringing to light the inhumane conditions at NWDC in collaboration with people detained there. Activists will also be coming out to support Maru at her deportation case hearing on the afternoon of June 26. For details, visit https://www.facebook.com/events/242338639681878/.
