Saw aa IG video about this, seems too important to let slip by:
> ..Our members were asking, “What do we do now?” We reached out to La Resistencia – they’ve done actions at the detention center for over a decade now. And then we realized the Filipino community was already organizing for Lewelyn. Instead of trying to figure it out on our own, we joined with them.

> Lewelyn, affectionately known as “Auntie Lynn,” is a laboratory technician at the University of Washington Medical Center and a dedicated SEIU 925 member. She was arrested in February on her way home from a routine visit to see family in the Philippines and has been detained at the Northwest ICE Detention Center in Tacoma since. She has lived in the United States since she was 14 and is a Legal Permanent Resident.

🧵 > Rocío Sáenz, SEIU Secretary-Treasurer. “Lewelyn’s arrest was wrong and it’s part of a clear Trump administration agenda to vilify immigrant workers who contribute to our communities, just so they can score political points. We’re proud to welcome Lewelyn home today, and our fight continues until no immigrant worker lives in fear of being ripped away from their family or community.
