Meet the Jews Advocating for Immigrant Justice in Seattle

In October 2017, Andrea Soroko Naar and Diane Baer were at the annual fundraiser for Casa Latina, which provides English language classes, job training, and a day worker center for Latinx immigrants. During the gala affair, speakers thanked their supporters for protesting inhumane conditions at the Northwest Immigrant Detention Center in Tacoma and offering sanctuary to undocumented individuals facing deportation. Christian and Muslim groups were given shout-outs for their support of the organization, as well. Soroko Naar and Baer left the Westin Hotel that night resolved to bring Jewish groups up to speed with the movement.
