Immigrant Workers Rights
To actively engage with local immigrant communities and organizations in campaigns that stop workplace and community immigration raids, stop police enforcement of immigration laws, cast the struggle for immigrant rights as a workers rights struggle that effects all working people, and to shift power from corporate investors to workers and immigrant communities in order to restructure a more just South Sound economy.
