Calendar of Events

!!!Please note that Ferndale Dignity Vigils are suspended to do Covid until further notice.  In the meantime, follow C2C Dignity Vigils and Actions on Facebook.

Due to the current political climate with increased tensions at our northern border we are shifting our strategy. To this end we will no longer be holding Dignity Vigils at the Barkley location or the Wednesday Dignity Vigils at the Ferndale CBP facility. We urge our supporters to focus their energies and attend the Thursday Ferndale Dignity Vigils at the C.B.P. facility to demand that they stop collaborating with I.C.E., stop racial profiling, and stop holding undocumented folks in their facilities! We will not sit by as I.C.E. and C.B.P. continue to act with impunity as they target people of color. We ask that folks self-organize carpooling and follow the lead of our team regarding messaging for signs, banners, etc. 
Thank you for showing up for immigrant justice and the demilitarization of our communities!

Please contact Brenda at brendab@foodjustice.org or Ry at ry@foodjustice.org If you have any questions.

!!!Please note that Immigrant Visitor Support Vigils are suspended to do Covid until further notice. 

The Vashon Island Unitarian Fellowship is provides detainee visitor support at the Northwest Detention Center every second Saturday of the month. We have changed our timing to mornings every month. We are there from about 9:00 AM until Noon.
We set up two tables outside the gate entrance with a canopy when needed.When visitors return from their visit, we try to engage them with free refreshments, printed handouts (NWIRP, NWDC, ACLU), and compassionate listening. Most visitors stop, but some are too upset or hurried.

We have been doing this since 2011.

A group of people including some from Skagit UU Fellowship spend one hour in front of the Planned Parenthood building waving at people and showing signs supporting Planned Parenthood. If the weather is too miserable we call it off that month, but the responses have been very positive from the people driving by on this busy road.

Contact Pat Young at 360-757-3286 for more information.
