WA Immigrant Solidarity Network – June 25, 2026

Posted on July 6, 2026

[Español Abajo]

I’m Larisa, WAISN’s Director of Finance & Operations, and I get to bring you some exciting news!

For nearly a decade, WAISN has been building immigrant power across Washington State: organizing in community, upholding immigrant rights, responding to crises of mass deportations and detentions, and creating systems of collective care rooted in solidarity and the labor of keeping a prosperous Washington.

Today, we are thrilled to launch something new: the WAISN merch store is officially live!

SHOP THE WAISN STORE

Our first collection includes a Pride T-shirt, two hoodies, and a ball cap. Each piece was designed to be bold, wearable, and connected to the community that built this movement.

As a queer- and transgender-immigrant-led organization, we wanted this collection to carry the spirit of Pride as we live it: as visibility, protection, resistance, and collective care. Whether you wear the Pride tee to march, throw on a hoodie for everyday organizing, or grab a cap as a quiet reminder of what you stand for, you are carrying this movement with you.

Every purchase sustains WAISN’s general operating funds. These are the funds that support every part of our work: hotline operations, rapid-response coordination, language justice, coalition-building, organizing, and community care, which is a collective responsibility.

As Director of Finance & Operations, I am excited about this launch because it is part of building something bigger: a community-powered revenue stream for our movement.

Foundation grants and government contracts have made much of this work possible, and we are grateful to the funders and public dollars that have powered many of our wins. At the same time, those dollars often come with restrictions, timelines, and conditions that limit how organizations like WAISN can move. When the community funds its own defense, the community sets the terms.

This merch store is a small act of wealth reclamation: dollars moving directly from community to the work of community defense. Because care isn’t something we can just deliver to our community, it is a collective infrastructure that we build together, and it is our collective responsibility to resource it.

It is also, let’s be honest, a chance to have a little fun. Cultural expression matters. What we wear can communicate values, spark conversations, and make visible the communities and futures we are building together. There is political joy in that, and we hope you will claim some of it with us.

Solidarity looks good on you. Head over to our merch store and see what our team has been working on.

SHOP THE WAISN STORE

In community and in celebration,

P.S. Help us spread the word! Share our announcement on social media with the people who would wear this merch with as much Pride as we do.


[ENGLISH ABOVE]

Mi nombre es Larisa, Directora de Finanzas y Operaciones de WAISN, ¡y tengo una noticia emocionante que compartir!

Durante casi una década, WAISN ha estado fortaleciendo el poder de la comunidad inmigrante a lo largo del estado de Washington: organizándonos en la comunidad, defendiendo nuestros derechos como seres humanos e inmigrantes, respondiendo a las crisis de deportación y detención masiva y creando estructuras de apoyo comprometidas con la solidaridad y la labor colectiva de mantener un Washington próspero para todos.

Hoy, estamos muy felices de presentar algo nuevo: ¡la tienda de mercancía de WAISN ya está oficialmente abierta!

VISITE LA TIENDA DE WAISN

Nuestra primera colección incluye una camiseta del Orgullo¹, dos sudaderas con capucha y una gorra. Cada artículo ha sido diseñado para ser llamativo, práctico y conectado con la comunidad que creó este movimiento.

Como organización liderada por inmigrantes de minorías sexuales y transgénero, queríamos que esta colección reflejara el espíritu del Orgullo tal como lo vivimos: con visibilidad, protección, resistencia y apoyo mutuo. Ya sea que use la camiseta del Orgullo para marchar, se ponga una sudadera para sus actividades diarias o se lleve una gorra como un pequeño recordatorio de lo que defiende, usted llevará este movimiento a donde quiera que vaya.

Cada compra contribuye a los fondos generales de operación de WAISN. Estos fondos financian todas las partes de nuestro trabajo: las operaciones de la línea de apoyo, la coordinación de la respuesta rápida, la justicia del lenguaje, la creación de coaliciones, el trabajo organizativo y la atención a la comunidad, que es una responsabilidad colectiva.

Como directora de Finanzas y Operaciones, estoy muy emocionada con este lanzamiento porque forma parte de la construcción de algo más grande: una fuente de ingresos impulsada por la comunidad para darle continuidad a nuestro movimiento.

Las subvenciones o apoyos de financiación por parte de fundaciones y los contratos del gobierno han hecho posible gran parte de este trabajo, y estamos muy agradecidos a los donantes y a los fondos públicos que han impulsado muchos de nuestros logros. Al mismo tiempo, estos fondos suelen venir acompañados de restricciones, límites de tiempo y condiciones que limitan la capacidad de acción de organizaciones como WAISN. Cuando la comunidad financia su propia defensa, es la comunidad quien establece las condiciones.

Esta tienda de mercancía es un pequeño gesto de recuperación de riqueza: dólares que van directamente de la comunidad a la labor de defensa comunitaria. Porque el cuidado de cada uno no es algo que simplemente podemos ofrecer de manera interpersonal, sino una infraestructura colectiva que construimos de manera conjunta, y es nuestra responsabilidad colectiva proporcionarle los recursos necesarios.

Además, esta también es una oportunidad para divertirnos un poco. La expresión cultural importa. Lo que vestimos puede transmitir valores, iniciar conversaciones y hacer visibles las comunidades y los futuros que estamos construyendo conjuntamente. Hay alegría política en eso y esperamos que la comparta con nuestra red de solidaridad para inmigrantes en el estado de Washington.

La solidaridad le queda bien. Visite nuestra tienda de productos y eche un vistazo a lo que nuestro equipo ha estado preparando.

VISITE LA TIENDA DE WAISN

En comunidad y en celebración,

Larisa Lumba
Pronombre: Ella
Directora de Finanzas y Operaciones
La Red de Solidaridad de Inmigrantes en Washington

  1. Orgullo de ser parte de las comunidades gay, lésbicas, bisexuales, transgénero, cuir y de géneros que no se conforman al binario hombre o mujer, así como el reconocimiento de su dignidad, valor propio y humanidad.

P.D.: ¡Ayúdenos a difundir esta información! Comparta nuestro anuncio en las redes sociales con personas que llevarían estos productos con el mismo orgullo que lo hacemos en WAISN.

Ten years ago queer and transgender immigrants came together during a time of growing fear and uncertainty for immigrant communities to launch WAISN because no one else was coming to save us.

If you believe in this work, you know it takes resources to keep this movement going. Please donate today to help us build the next 10 years of immigrant justice for our communities.

Power our next 10 years

    We decide who represents us. We decide what comes next.

    For more than a year, millions of people have come together to reject the idea that power belongs to kings, billionaires, or politicians who believe they are above the people and the law.

    Now, we are taking the next step, turning people power into voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it's a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing the Tri-Cities together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard.

    Because no one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th, join us in local events across the country as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.

    You’re Invited: B5’s Hair Raisin’ FUNraiser — October 28

    October 28, 2026  5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
    Pasco Red Lion

    Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating B5 and the community that makes our work possible. This event brings together friends, donors, volunteers, partners, and community leaders for dinner, a silent auction, Raise the Paddle, a costume contest, and stories of the people whose lives are changing through B5. This year also marks an important moment in B5’s story. The evening will celebrate Theresa Roosendaal’s leadership at her final fundraiser as Executive Director while looking forward to the organization’s next chapter. B5 is more than a place where people learn English. It is a place where people find confidence, belonging, relationships, and voice. Join us October 28 and help build what comes next. Together, We Thrive.
