A little more about AIDNW:

Vision Statement
To create an inclusive and welcoming community to affirm the humanity and dignity of immigrants and provide them with access to vital resources.

Mission Statement
We provide emotional support to immigrants in detention and, when they are released, we warmly welcome them and provide transitional support. We connect released immigrants to vital resources so they know they are valued and safe, and are on the path to live independent and productive lives.

We Provide Assistance
Our Phone Access and Volunteer Visitation end the isolation of detained immigrants. Our Welcome Center and Post-Detention Accompaniment Network (PDAN) volunteers offer safe release services and support. Our Hospitality House offers safe and welcoming temporary housing to those who need it.

We Increase Awareness
Many people are unaware of the Northwest Detention Center on the Tacoma Tideflats. With 1,575 beds, it is the nation’s fourth largest. We offer educational programs on detention issues and give presentations to churches, schools and universities, civic groups and community organizations.

We hope you will join us for an insightful presentation and opportunity to connect with other Civil Rights Law Section members!
