TIKKUN OLAM CORNER
Jewish Coalition for Immigrant Justice has figured out how to make a real difference in the lives of immigrants and refugees who are suffering due to my governments policies. The Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN) Fair Fight Bond Fund at the JCIJ-NW. FAIR FIGHT BOND FUND . All donations to support WAISN Fair Fight Bond Fund are tax deductible to the full extent of the law under WAISN’s 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor Colectiva Legal del Pueblo, Tax ID 46-1470709.
This renewable fund will make such a difference in people’s lives — not only by freeing them from the horrendous conditions in the Northwest Detention Center but by helping to prove their cases while having the emotional support of family and community.
