Light the way for immigrant justice and resistance this Hanukkah with the Jewish Coalition for Immigrant Justice! Join JCIJ on Sunday, December 14, at 2:00 PM in North Seattle for an afternoon of community, celebration, and Sephardic treats, along with live music provided by Chava Mirel. Teens and adults are welcome, and we'll be done in time for you to head home and light candles with your family. We'll gather to share how the Jewish Coalition stands beside immigrant community members as they face an unjust and inhumane system. Learn more about the JCIJ Accompaniment program, where volunteers walk side-by-side community members to high-stakes immigration appointments, and how you can prepare with us for federal escalation in our state.
