WA Immigrant Solidarity Network – June 19, 2025

Posted on June 19, 2025

[Español Abajo]

This is Israel Gonzalez, WAISN’s Rapid Response Organizer, and I want to reach out to let you know that we will not be having a General Meeting today as WAISN will be closed in observance of Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of centuries of American slavery in 1865. 

We plan to be in community during this time and hope you can join us in person this month at some of the following events:


WAISN at Latino Pride – June 21 in Pasco

WAISN is proud to join the first Latino PRIDE in Tri Cities, Washington! Come celebrate with us on Saturday, June 21, from 2–7 p.m. in Pasco. We’ll be tabling alongside local organizations, sharing resources, and honoring the resilience, joy, and leadership of our queer Latinx communities. Stop by to connect, celebrate, and build power together!

Celebrate Pride with WAISN all month long!

Can’t make it to Pasco? No worries—WAISN will be celebrating Pride all across Washington throughout June and July! From Seattle to Tacoma, we’ll be out in full color, sharing resources, uplifting queer and trans voices, and building power with our communities. Find us at any of the events listed below, we’d love to see you there!

    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.
