JUUstwa Offers Bystander Intervention Training, April 23, 2021, online

March 24, 2021 by Deb Cruz Leave a Comment

On Friday evening, April 23rd from 6 p.m. to roughly 7:30, the JUUstice Washington’s Interrupting the School to Prison Pipeline racial justice action team will be offering an online Bystander Intervention trainer.   Courtney Wooten is the developer and presenter of the training.  For more information, see Suburbia Rising

 

The intention of the training is twofold.  The session will provide online training to members of the ISPP committee, but more importantly, the committee invites Washington State UU congregation to designation a member of the congregation to experience the training and use the experience to consider asking Courtney to offer this or other trainings that Courtney has developed to their respective congregations.  If your congregation would like to send a representative, please contact John Hilke at jchilke@comcast.net so that he can include your representative on the Zoom invitation list for the training.

January 26, 2021 by Deb Cruz Leave a Comment

On Thursday, January 28th, at 8am the WA State Senate’s Labor, Commerce and Tribal Affairs Committee will hold a first hearing for SB 5172. If passed the bill could prevent dairy workers, and possibly thousands of agricultural workers in Washington State from receiving retroactive (back) overtime pay.

TAKE ACTION NOW

The bill is due for its first hearing in the Senate Committee on Labor, Commerce and Tribal Affairs this Thursday morning at 8am. It’s important that farmworkers and their advocates and supporters show our opposition to the bill.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO:

Please share this message widely with people in Washington state who care about fair wages for farmworkers.

Let the committee know that you are opposed to this bill by going to the link below and selecting “Con” (against). The latest you can sign in is 6:59am Thursday morning.

Help with Immigrant Relief Applications Needed

November 25, 2020 by Deb Cruz Leave a Comment

Since Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN) launched the WA COVID-19 Immigrant Relief Fund, over 55,000 people have applied and 16,000 applications have been approved! This is thanks to the tireless work of our community and our organizational partners doing vital outreach and application support. We have two weeks left to get as many applications as possible. That’s where you come in. 

Due to COVID-19, we haven’t been able to host in-person events to help our community members apply. But you can help by volunteering to be a Virtual Application Helper.

The timing is completely flexible–just list the hours you’re available to help and wait for a community member to sign up. We also welcome any languages, so no need to only speak Spanish.

Ready to volunteer? Join a required Application Assistance training:

  • Nov. 30, 5:30-7:00 
  • Dec. 1, 6:00-8:00pm
  • Dec. 2, 5:30-7:00pm
  • Dec. 3, 6:00-8:00pm

Click here for the Zoom link

What if I have already been trained? Please email Denisse Guerrero or Margot Spindola to be added to Calender.

In community,

Brenda Rodriguez Lopez, WAISN Co-Director
