Immigrant Support Task Force
The Immigrant Support Task Force is a working group of Indivisible Skagit. The Task Force was formed in 2017 as Donald Trump was inaugurated US President on a platform of persecuting, excluding, and deporting immigrants. People in Skagit were concerned about the safety and well-being of our neighbors and community members, especially those who are undocumented.
We remain concerned about the well-being and safety of our community members despite the change in administrations. While leadership in the current administration speaks of policy changes, they have not yet demonstrated an ability to rein in the behavior of ICE/CBP in our community.
Our goal is to provide concrete, specific, tangible support to immigrants in Skagit by responding to the needs they express to us directly. We have continued this important work even during the pandemic, adapting what we do in light of health and safety guidance.
We welcome new members. We provide training for all our activities. You do not need to speak Spanish to join in. Many of our members do not. But, if you do speak Spanish, or any of the indigenous languages spoken by the local immigrant community, we need your help. Task Force actions are rewarding on many levels. Don’t miss the chance to take action on your values. Get connected to the Task Force by email to ImmigrantSupportTaskforce@indivisibleskagit.org
