Indivisible Skagit Meetings About Immigration

January 2018 meeting: Bystander Intervention Training

​You are standing in line at the grocery store, and someone starts giving an immigrant family in the line a hard time. You are waiting at the bus stop, and a group of guys starts harassing a young woman. You are in any public place and….. What can you do? 

Trainer Ty Schroyer led nearly 100 participants in Bystander Intervention Training to help us answer that question. Using principals of nonviolence and de-escalation strategies, we have the power to support the person being targeted and defuse a situation that otherwise might escalate.

After learning about what to do, and practicing the skills in this workshop, participants came away saying, “This actually feels like something I can do!”

June 2018 meeting:  DETAINED! What Does It Mean For Families in Skagit?

Every day families in Washington are torn apart when a family member is sent to the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma. What happens to them there? What happens to their families here?

Maru Mora Villalpando (center, photo below) of Northwest Detention Center Resistance, locally-based, and nationally-known advocate for detainees, hosted the screening of the documentary film Hunger Strikes: A Call to End Immigrant Detention.

The film was followed by questions from the participants, and a call from Maru for commitments to get involved. More than half the audience turned in action slips detailing how they will engage in support of the resistance to the imprisonment of immigrants.
