A message from Giselle Cárcamo of the Intercommunity Peace & Justice Center:
Dear community members, providers, and partner organizations:
Responding to a community need for organizing a DACA-related event in Snohomish County, the Intercommunity Peace & Justice Center has reached out to our partners at the Washington Dream Coalition (WDC), Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP), Colectiva Legal del Pueblo and the Washington State Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) to assist DACA recipients who qualify for renewal in this underserved area.
Everett Community College has generously offered space and resources for us to host a free DACA Renewal Legal Clinic and Q&A that will take place on Friday, September, 22 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm at Everett Community College, Jackson Conference Center located at 2000 Tower Street Everett, WA 98201.
We hope to reach out to young adults in Snohomish and Skagit counties to participate in the legal clinic, but any DACA recipients will be welcomed until we reach capacity.
This event will be two-fold: while lawyers are assisting DACA recipients with their paper work, members of the Washington Dream Coalition and Colectiva will give important updates and provide resources on continuing education and organizing for action to community members interested in the topic that are not necessarily participating in the clinic.
We are asking DACA recipients whose document is expiring between September 5, 2017 and March 5, 2018 to register for this legal clinic via email to Giselle Cárcamo at gcarcamo@ipjc.org by September 20 so we can set the time of their appointment.
All the very best,
Giselle Cárcamo, MSW
