Thank you to everyone who came out to the vigil at the Northwest Detention Center today to stand with the many, many immigrants incarcerated in Tacoma.      JCIRA Makes Public Statement Against Hatred in Port Townsend Leader with Community Partners11/8/2018
  Saturday, Nov 10 – Everyone welcome to join the vigil at the NW Detention Center, 1623 East J Street, Tacoma. The vigil will last about three hours, 12:30 to 3:30, which overlaps visiting hours for detainees.
During that time, protesters will talk with visitors as they come and go from the center, and provide conversation, sandwiches, water and snacks for those traveling sometimes long distances to visit with their loved ones held in detention. For meeting information and time, contact Cheryl Bentley, cbentley@cruzio.com JCIRA is excited to announce that we are a part of the 1st Annual Give Jefferson campaign to raise money for Jefferson County non-profits! Please consider making a donation to JCIRA in the month of October so we can continue to provide low-cost legal services to immigrants in Jefferson County. We appreciate your support! To learn more, attend the October 6th Give Jefferson Fair, more info below. To donate, click here.   Demonstrating outside the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC) on Labor Day, JCIRA members and supporters met and talked to many people who had come to visit a family member or friend jailed inside. Their stories were powerful. One woman’s story stands out because she is a fighter – a fighter to save her detainee husband’s life and to improve medical treatment for all detainees - and because she is eager to share details of her struggle.
ShaCorrie Tunkara hopes that everyone will find some way to help. A news report from KIRO A detailed interview The two links below mention her as a speaker at recent events, here and here. Find her on Facebook here. |
