IMMIGRATION JUSTICE

Our focus to start 2014 is Immigration Justice, as we hear from experts including Michael Ramos, director of the Church Council of Greater Seattle,  on the situation of our Northwest immigrant community. 

Special attention will be given to the new “TRUST ACT” approach that King County has recently passed, as a counter to the “Secure Communities” approach that the US government has been pressing upon local police, sheriff and civic authorities. 

Copies of the new King County ‘Detainer Reform’ policy will be distributed to all who attend, and we will enjoy a hearty conversation about issues of immigrant rights, corporate greed, and the biblical calling to compassionate justice.

WHY ATTEND? -- This issue is relevant to all who live in Lynnwood and surrounding area, where over 37% of our community are now “immigrants” from other parts of the world – people who as our neighbors we are called to serve in love and compassion. Are they ‘documented’? ‘Illegals’? Living in fear?  This is also an issue that the ELCA and greater church community has taken very seriously, and we invite you to hear the views of Michael Ramos and others about the biblical calling to merciful justice.

Come join us in discovering positive steps forward in peace building here in our own Northwest community.

  “I cannot fulfill my obligation to protect people if they are afraid to call the police because they fear being deported,” said King County Sheriff John Urquhart. The practice of universally honoring ICE detainer requests leads to distrust and fear between immigrant communities and the police.  I support a different approach.”
