WA Immigrant Solidarity Network – December 11, 2025

Posted on December 11, 2025

[Español Abajo]

We’re so excited to share this with you.

We have officially launched our brand new website, and it’s a beautiful reflection of who we’ve become as a statewide, immigrant-led movement for justice in almost a decade!


The Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network has grown so much since its inception. From becoming its own 501c(3)  organization, to expanding the Deportation Defense Hotline and a Resource Finder with nearly 1300 in-language resources, to expanding Rapid Response and Accompaniment teams across the state, our network has always transformed to meet the needs of immigrants and refugees. And now we have a digital home that feels as powerful and welcoming as the community behind it.

Our WAISN team has worked to design this  new website to make it easier to find exactly what you need. Whether you’re looking for in-language resources for yourself or someone you know, want to become a Rapid Response or Accompaniment volunteer, or are looking for a training or event, the new layout  makes it simpler to access support, take action, and stay connected with us.


Our new website centers the vibrant and diverse  immigrant leadership that grounds all of our work, while lifting up the brilliance and power of our communities who make this movement possible. We believe this website  feels like it captures the immense passion and love you and so many others have poured into our immigrant justice network. It feels like us.

So please, take a moment to browse, then share the new website with a community member who may need resources, and celebrate this win with us! 

In community,

The Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network

P.S. If you love this new chapter of the WAISN story as much as we do, we hope you’ll consider making a small donation before the end of the year. Every gift, no matter the size, helps make projects like this, and movements like ours possible!


[ENGLISH ABOVE]

Estamos muy emocionados de compartir esto contigo, Kendall.

¡Hemos lanzado oficialmente nuestra nueva página web y es un hermoso reflejo de todo lo que hemos logrado como movimiento estatal liderado por inmigrantes a favor de la justicia en casi una decada!


La Red de Solidaridad de Inmigrantes en Washington (WAISN, por sus siglas en inglés) ha crecido mucho desde su creación.  Desde convertirse en su propia organización 501c(3), expandir la Línea de Defensa contra la Deportación y un Buscador de Recursos con casi 1300 recursos en diferentes idiomas, hasta aumentar los equipos de Respuesta Rápida y Acompañamiento en todo el estado, nuestra red siempre se ha transformado para satisfacer las necesidades de los inmigrantes y refugiados. Y ahora tenemos un hogar digital que se siente tan poderoso y acogedor como la comunidad que lo sostiene.

Nuestro equipo de WAISN ha trabajado para diseñar esta nueva página web con el fin de facilitar la búsqueda de lo que usted necesita. Ya sea que esté buscando recursos en su idioma para usted o para alguien que conoce, quiera ser voluntario de Respuesta Rápida o Acompañamiento, o esté buscando un entrenamiento o evento, el nuevo diseño facilita el acceso a los servicios de apoyo, la toma de acciones y la conexión con nosotros.


Nuestra nueva página web se centra en el liderazgo vibrante y diverso de los inmigrantes que sustenta todo nuestro trabajo, al tiempo que destaca la brillantez y el poder de nuestras comunidades que hacen posible este movimiento. Creemos que esta página web refleja la pasión y el amor que usted y tantas otras personas han dedicado a nuestra red de justicia para los inmigrantes. Se siente como si fuera parte de nosotros.

Así que, por favor, tómese un momento para echar un vistazo, comparta la nueva página web con algún miembro de la comunidad que pueda necesitar recursos y celebre este logro con nosotros.

En comunidad,

La Red de Solidaridad de Inmigrantes en Washington

P.D. Si te gusta tanto como a nosotros este nuevo capítulo de la historia de WAISN, esperamos que te animes a hacer una pequeña donación antes de que termine el año. ¡Cada donación, sin importar su tamaño, ayuda a hacer posibles proyectos como este y movimientos como el nuestro!

    Update! The host location has developed Strep Throat, so in an abundance of caution, we're going to revert to the Pasco Round Table location. Sorry about the late notice! We do still plan to have our presenter from Save Our Wild Salmon.

    As usual at the pizza location, Tri-City Democrats will order several pizzas to share. We'll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group. Some of our generous members are likely to purchase pitchers of beer to share. If you want the salad bar or soft drinks, you are on your own for those items.

    We have scheduled the 'Save our Wild Salmon' group to come talk to us about the Snake River Dams and we will have 'Hate Has no Home Here' signs available.

    Columbia Basin College Gjerde Center 2600 N. 20th Ave., Pasco, WA 99301

    Residents of Washington’s 8th Legislative District are invited to attend a town hall meeting with their state lawmakers on Saturday, April 11. Sen. Matt Boehnke, R-Kennewick, Rep. Stephanie Barnard, R-Pasco, and Rep. April Connors, R-Kennewick, will provide an overview of the 2026 legislative session and take questions from attendees.

    The meeting will cover key issues, including passage of a new state income tax, capital budget investments, the lawmakers’ opposition to the state’s proposal to site a home for sexually violent predators in Kennewick, and legislation that passed or failed during the 60-day session.

    Constituents are encouraged to attend, ask questions and share their perspectives on issues affecting their families and communities.

    “We’re looking forward to meeting with constituents, answering questions about the 2026 session, hearing directly about the concerns they want addressed, and discussing how decisions made by the Legislature will affect our district now and in the future,” the lawmakers said.

    Does the current water crisis in the Colorado River basin predict the future for Eastern Washington rivers?

    REGISTER HERE

    Most experts agree that how our principal river systems are managed will tell the story. Water is essential for continued growth and economic success for the region, which is entering its third consecutive drought year. Reservoir storage in the Cascades is far below average with little sign of recovery.

    The federal Bureau of Reclamation's latest water supply forecast says that irrigators in the Yakima Basin may receive less than half of their full entitlement this year. And it's not just Washington's eighty-billion-dollar agriculture industry that depends on water. The rivers provide water for our cities and industry, generate electricity, move all manner of commodities, and provide for our unique quality of life.
