This month our Caring Coins are being donated to the Kitsap Immigrant Assistance Center. Immigrant rights in the United States are not guaranteed. In Kitsap County, the Kitsap Immigrant Assistance Center (KIAC) provides critical resources, legal support, and community to people who have immigrated. Recognizing the inherent worth and dignity of all people, for over 20 years KIAC has worked for the well-being and empowerment of immigrated peoples through education, advocacy and social justice. 

Changing immigration policies, both at the federal level and here in Washington State, may impact many of KIAC clients. KIAC remains committed to offering critical services; challenging systems of oppression and anti-human rights policies will take collective action. KIAC envisions a community where everyone, regardless of where they were born, has fair and equitable access to justice, respect, and opportunity. Our donations this month will go to support making this a reality in Kitsap County.
