Katie Wilson did not come, it seems that was never the plan, posters could have been more clearly designed, people were disappointed she wasn’t there.
The crowd there, at least every one of the many that spoke, were unanimous that Katie Wilson needs to do more to stop collaborating with ICE.
Top priority was to stop sharing surveillance data with Ice, end our contracts with flock, and take flock cameras down.
We heard from a veteran in the US legally who had been detained in the Tacoma Detention Center for 4 months in appalling conditions.
Lots of other great ideas were shared to support vulnerable people in our community, that one thing though is something Katie Wilson could choose to do tomorrow.
Next thing on a Seattle redditor’s radar (other than showing up for your community in person and supporting mutual aid networks) should be senate bill 6286

Urge your legislators to pass this bill to fine the Tacoma detention Center as they continue to bar state inspectors from inspecting conditions.
Of course, we can’t just rely on legislators out there. Get connected to the efforts your neighbors are already engaging in.
