UMC Solidarity Day at the Northwest Detention Center

Join the Pacific Northwest United Methodist Church, fellow followers of Jesus, and all people who love justice, as we practice solidarity with those who are detained inside the Northwest Detention Center!

As followers of Jesus, we are mandated to care for our immigrant neighbors. As United Methodists, we vehemently oppose the mass deportation plans of this administration and join our voices with La Resistencia in an effort to shut down the Northwest Detention Center and Free Them All!

We follow the lead, and accept the invitation of, La Resistencia, a group of community members who listen first to those most impacted on the inside of NWDC, in a campaign to free them all and shut down the Detention Center once and for all.

Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly and consider volunteering in one of the important support roles below:
Hospitality: bringing donations of sunscreen (if it’s sunny),  granola bars, fruit, water bottles, trash bags Greeters: passing out the hospitality items and intentionally saying hello as people gather Safety Team: attend one Zoom call earlier in that week to be briefed on safety protocols and arrive at least an hour early on the day of the action. Folks practiced in deescalation are needed in this role Music: We need music and strong singers who are versed in movement song to make this a joy-filled action.
