We are building WAISN’s vision of uniting an immigrant-led immigrant justice movement in Washington State to dismantle oppressive systems and ensure a life of abundance for all immigrants. Our membership model will consist of dues-paying member organizations and individuals who are actively involved in immigrant justice and organizing.

To become a member of WAISN, organizations must apply, demonstrate, and pledge to work for the best interest of immigrants through direct services, advocacy, organizing, or through other actions.

We envision WAISN members will collaborate to create a support network of care and rapid response, pierce through elitist political and philanthropic spaces to transform the material realities of immigrants, and build a world where undocumented immigrants have full political and economic rights and access to the resources we need to thrive.

The WAISN membership model is intentionally structured to center power with immigrant community members and immigrant-led organizations who directly serve impacted community members.

WAISN membership creates a space where your organizational superpowers and capacity can both support immigrant justice and receive support from the entire WAISN network. Most importantly, we are building a network where we can continue to center the leadership of impacted community members such as undocumented, Black, Asian, Pacific Islander, Latinx, transgender, queer, and other Global South immigrant communities. 

Joining our network includes:

• Access to and guidance from immigrant justice movement-building experts, analysis, and discussions.
• Organizing, policy, and advocacy leadership opportunities through WAISN initiatives including Fair Fight Bond Fund, LGBTQIA Coalition, Immigrant Accompaniment, and more.
• Ongoing language justice support for your organization, including access to WAISN’s interpretation equipment.
• Access to critical trainings and statewide gatherings including Deportation Defense, Rapid Response, Know Your Rights, Organizing 101, and more.
• Building a professional and personal community and solidarity within a diverse progressive network rooted in WAISN’s feminist, decolonial, transnational and intersectional values.
