WA Immigrant Solidarity Network – December 27, 2024

Posted on December 27, 2024

[Español Abajo]

This is Israel Gonzalez, WAISN’s Rapid Response Organizer, and I want to thank you for attending our last General Meeting of the year! 

Our monthly General Meeting allows community members from across Washington to share their experiences, discuss strategies for empowering their own local communities, and give us an opportunity to involve directly affected people in our strategic decision-making processes. 

Just in case you missed it or if you had any questions, here is a brief summary of the most important points we discussed and ways you can get involved:

Deportation Defense Hotline

Save, share and use the WAISN Deportation Defense Hotline number—1-844-724-3737—to report immigration activity, detentions, raids; request accompaniment to vulnerable locations or help with the Fair Fight Bond Fund Application; and to get connected other immigration and community resources immigrants need to not just survive but to thrive.


Hotline Highlights

In October, we added 3 new members to the Hotline team. Thanks to our increased capacity, we are now able to answer or return all calls within 1 business day, usually less!

Most immigration raids and activity happen in the early morning, so starting in January, we are expanding our hours to: 6am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.  To report immigration activity or detentions outside these hours, send a text message or leave a voicemail on the Hotline number. We will return the call as soon as possible. We ALWAYS give priority to reports of ICE or CBP activity and detentions: this is why the Hotline was created.


In 2024, we talked to almost 800 community members from 29 out of Washington’s 39 counties. Our goal for 2025 is 1000 community members supported!


Immigrant Health Coverage

Washington is a leader in Immigrant Health Coverage. Since November 2023, everyone living in Washington—regardless of immigration status—can purchase health insurance through Washington Healthplanfinder. During Open Enrollment (November 1 to January 15), anyone can buy or change their insurance.

WAISN will continue to fight to expand Immigrant Health Coverage in 2025. Apply today to find out your options, demonstrate the need for more funds, and be in the loop about health coverage opportunities.


Need help? You can contact the WA Healthplanfinder Customer Support Center at 1-855-923-4633, get connected to a local navigator, or find an enrollment center close to you to get personalized support for you and your loved ones—and you can get in-language support in over 200 languages!

Rapid Response

In 2024, we:

  • Connected with 28 organizations throughout the state of Washington.
  • Visited more than 10 cities, including: Yakima, Spokane, Royal City, Mattawa, Walla Walla, Grays Harbor, Pacific County, Granger.
  • Trained 703 people to be a part of a rapid response team.
  • Created 8 Rapid Response teams in the counties of: Pacific, King, Chelan, Benton, Snohomish, Kitsap, Yakima, Skagit.

Attend a Know Your Rights with ICE virtual training! 

Do you know what to do if ICE comes to your home? Do you know what to do if ICE comes to your workplace? What does a judicial warrant look like? Can ICE enter your home? Come and learn that and more in this bi-lingual (Spanish and English) training. REGISTER HERE for our training on Wednesday, January 8, from 6pm–8pm.

Attend a virtual Rapid Response training and join a team! 

Rapid Response Teams are groups of trained individuals who are activated to document and provide support to affected families when activity, raids, or detentions by immigration agents are reported in their community. REGISTER HERE to learn more about how to get involved on Saturday, January 25 from 12pm–2pm.

Le habla Israel González, Organizador de Respuesta Rápida de WAISN, y quiero agradecerle su asistencia a nuestra última Reunión General del año.

Nuestra Reunión General mensual ofrece el espacio para miembros de las comunidades inmigrantes de todo Washington en el cual, participantes pueden compartir experiencias, discutir estrategias para fortalecer las defensas contra la deportación y dar la oportunidad de involucrar a personas directamente impactadas en nuestro proceso de toma de decisiones estratégicas.

Por si no pudo asistir o si asistió y tiene alguna pregunta, aquí tiene un resumen de los puntos más importantes que se discutieron y las formas en las que puede participar:

Línea de Defensa contra la Deportación

Guarde, comparta y utilice el número de la Línea de Defensa contra la Deportación de WAISN – 1-844-724-3737 – para reportar actividades de inmigración, detenciones, redadas; solicitar acompañamiento a lugares que sean vulnerables o para obtener ayuda con la solicitud del Fondo de Fianza Lucha Justa; y para conectarse con otros recursos comunitarios que los inmigrantes necesitan no sólo para sobrevivir, sino para prosperar.

Lo más destacado de la Línea de Apoyo

En octubre se sumaron 3 personas al equipo de la Línea de Apoyo. Gracias al aumento de nuestra capacidad, ahora podemos responder o devolver todas las llamadas en un día laborable ¡o incluso en menos tiempo!

La mayoría de las redadas y actividades de inmigración ocurren temprano en la mañana, por lo que a partir de enero, vamos a expandir nuestro horario de 6am a 6pm, de lunes a viernes.  

Para reportar actividad de inmigración o detenciones fuera de este horario, envíe un mensaje de texto o deje un mensaje de voz al número de la Línea de Apoyo. Le devolveremos la llamada lo antes posible. SIEMPRE le damos prioridad a las notificaciones de actividades y detenciones de inmigración: para eso se creó la Línea de Apoyo.

En 2024, hablamos con casi 800 miembros de la comunidad de 29 condados de Washington. Nuestra meta para el 2025 es ¡1000 miembros de la comunidad apoyados!

Cobertura de salud para inmigrantes

El estado de Washington es líder en la cobertura de salud para inmigrantes. Desde noviembre de 2023, todas las personas que viven en Washington -independientemente de su estatus migratorio- pueden comprar un seguro médico a través de Washington Healthplanfinder. Durante la Inscripción Abierta (del 1 de noviembre al 15 de enero), cualquier persona puede comprar o cambiar su seguro.

WAISN seguirá luchando para expandir la Cobertura de Salud para Inmigrantes en 2025. Inscríbase hoy mismo para conocer sus opciones, para demostrar la necesidad de más fondos y para estar al tanto de las oportunidades de cobertura médica.


¿Necesita ayuda? Puede ponerse en contacto con el Centro de Atención al Cliente de WA Healthplanfinder llamando al 1-855-923-4633, ponerse en contacto con un orientador o buscar un centro de inscripción cercano para obtener ayuda personalizada para usted y sus seres queridos, ¡y puede obtener ayuda en más de 200 idiomas!

    Since the Covid-19 pandemic, support for public health policies has gradually declined. At the federal level certain policies and practices regarding vaccines have been thrown into question.

    Vaccine proponents note the long-time and widespread benefits of the traditional MMR vaccine; vaccine skeptics generally insist it causes autism. Some say the approval process (Operation Warp Speed for Covid-19) was either rushed or rigged; others say the process was instrumental in reducing suffering and saved the lives of millions of people.

    Whistle Workshop & Learning Event

    December 12, 2025  10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
    Richland Public Library, Conf Room B, 955 Northgate Dr, Richland, WA

    📣Our Voices United is sharing whistle safety packs as a simple, but powerful, grassroots tool that helps communities stay alert and protect each other. Indivisible Tri-Cities is joining in to help promote this campaign and support local outreach.

    🧊These whistles create instant signals when ICE activity is nearby, helping neighbors gather quickly, record what's happening, and stand with anyone who may be approached. Join us this Friday to learn more!

    🎶Different whistle patterns can signal urgent moments, like ICE being in the area or someone being detained. This gives those nearby a way to respond that's faster than social media and doesn't rely on being on your phone all the time.

    🛡️Though it's a small tool, it helps combat quiet threats by creating visible community action, solidarity, and support. When we come together in efforts like this, our collective strength grows.

    December 16, 2025  6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
    https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/873403/

    Organizing for a brighter future for Washington families in 2026 starts now! It’s time to huddle up and make a 2026 game plan for protecting child care during the Washington state budget crisis.

    Join SEIU 925, Children's Campaign Fund Action, and MomsRising for a virtual Family Meeting: Child Care & the State Budget Emergency.

    Our state is in a budget crisis, and we know most of our families are too. We’re calling a family meeting to learn about what’s at stake and to co-create the budget solutions that will lift all families.

    Together, we'll get up to speed about the state of the 2026 state budget and how budget choices will impact moms, families, caregivers, and workers in our state. We'll hear from leaders from across Washington state, including Senator Claire Wilson, Senator Emily Alvarado, Representative Mary Fosse, and leaders from SEIU 925 and MomsRising.

    We hope you can join us in getting organized and informed so we can hit the ground running in early 2026! Make sure to RSVP so you receive the Zoom link once it's available.
