More information about the Immigration Subcabinet and Listening Sessions:
The purpose of the Immigration Subcabinet is to support coordination between state agencies to address immigration-related issues facing Washingtonians. The State must quickly, responsibly, and effectively meet the urgent needs of immigrants and refugees, including those with disability and 2SLGBTQIA+ identities, who have been targeted by federal actions, including actions related to data privacy, healthcare, human services, and other issues.
Listening session participants will have an opportunity to respond to the five questions listed in the survey. It will be a safe space for community members to share immigration-related concerns and needs. Your feedback will inform the Subcabinet’s priorities and next steps to help coordinate efforts to ensure safety, security, and rights of all people, including our neighbors in immigrant and refugee, disability, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.
In partnership,
Immigration Subcabinet
