Safe Haven is an informal coalition of representatives from over 35 organizations that gathers to share information and mobilize resources. Safe Haven members advocate with local school districts, city governments, and other institutions to address urgent needs, language justice, cultural supports, and equitable access to opportunities for immigrant community members.
…………………….
Join monthly “Cafecitos” meetings on the 3rd Wednesday, 9-10am, to identify advocacy priorities, share information, and collaborate to support local immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees. For more information and to get notifications, contact Guillermo Rivera (email) or phone 425-209-0707. We welcome your leadership and support! See our calendar page for upcoming meetings and events.
Many of our members worked to support local families impacted by anti-immigrant policies during Trump’s first administration, and we are continuing to strengthen our resources and protections.
Sign up to volunteer here.

EMERGENCY PLANNING GUIDE (in case of detention or deportation) | Plan de Emergencia (en caso de detención o deportación)
Safe Haven members collaborated with the Eastside Legal Assistance Program to develop a resource guide for families at risk of detention and deportation. The King County Promotores Network took the lead in developing and publishing the guide, and trained over 100 community members (Promotoras) to share the information with others in the community. If you are interested in donating to help get the guide updated and translated into more languages, please contact Guillermo Rivera.
