Frontline solidarity workshop offered

Organizers and activists are invited to join a briefing and skills session dedicated to defending immigrant workers
SEATTLE, WA (March 25, 2025) — Amid the federal administration’s increasingly extreme attacks on immigrant workers and local communities, organized labor is coming together to share resources and build skills to support and defend our immigrant coworkers and neighbors.
MLK Labor is convening labor and community organizers and activists for a briefing and mass deportation fight back workshop on April 4, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Seattle Labor Temple. The briefing will run from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m., with a training following from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
This training seeks to equip labor and community organizers and advocates with the necessary information to navigate escalating attacks on immigrant workers and their families and equip them with tools to fight back. It includes Know Your Rights information, best practices for unions to implement, model contract language, as well as specific guidance related to a range of policy changes and enforcement actions we must expect as part of the mass deportation agenda. Those who attended MLK Labor’s January 23 frontline solidarity training are welcome to attend the briefing before the training begins.
The training is hosted by MLK Labor in collaboration with the AFL-CIO, Fair Work Center, and the Washington State Labor Council.
