Dear WAISN Members,

From its inception in 2016, the vision was for the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN) to be a statewide network made up of individuals and organizations that would pay dues to be actively involved in immigrant justice and organizing.

Through this membership model, WAISN becomes financially sustainable and can support its members with resources such as: our Deportation Defense Hotline, WAISN’s database of immigrant-friendly resources via our Resource Finder, language justice tech equipment, immigration alerts and connection to our Rapid Response and Deportation Defense Networks, Accompaniment, Fair Fight Bond Fund, field events to organize and build power in our immigrant/migrant communities, access to Know Your Rights, Rapid Response, Deportation Defense, and organizing trainings, and regional and statewide policy and networking convenings accessible and at no-cost. All while working together to advance our mission.

Our membership model for organizations consists of a level system. The higher the level the more active the organization is in WAISN’s work. This provides a checks and balances model that allows individuals and organizations to be part of the network without centering a lone agenda.

With this process, our network aligns with WAISN's core values of joy, care, solidarity across differences, integrity, and accountability. We also take an opportunity to pledge commitment to continue our partnership in building relationships and grassroots power with Washingtonian immigrant and refugee communities while following a feminist, de-colonial, transnational, and intersectional analytical framework.

To become a member of the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN), organizations must apply, demonstrate, and pledge to work in the best interest of immigrants through direct services, advocacy, organizing, or other means.

If you are interested in joining WAISN or renewing your partnership with the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network, please complete this Membership Application Form. Please note that there is a Save and Continue button at the bottom of the form if you need to gather information and come back later.

Membership Application Forms will be reviewed and approved on a rolling basis.

Annual Dues

Please select the applicable dues amount for your community group or organization. Once your membership has been approved, you will receive an invoice and can pay your dues at that time.

Joining WAISN’s membership supports our collective efforts to advance an immigrant justice agenda across Washington state. WAISN's Board of Directors adopted a sliding-scale dues model based on organizational budget that organizations will pay into the WAISN Network.

Our commitment is to maintain a dues structure that resonates with our values — putting community-based organizations at the heart of our work. If dues are an obstacle, fees will be reduced or waived based on demonstrated need. In this manner, WAISN is committed to ensuring that it’s about community power, not money.

Membership dues will go towards convening, supporting, and informing immigrant power building.
