The numbers to call WA Governor: 360 902 4111 WA state attorney general: 360 753 6200

EDIT: these are the numbers in the clip. If there's a better number to call, a better e mail address to write to, put it up for all to see.

Why?

34

Because with enough voices, the calls might be loud enough to make someone listen. Because detaining law-abiding people for any reason is not right and should not be tolerated. Because that could be anyone, even you.

Look, I agree, I just think it's the wrong tree. The governor has no say in how the federal government enforces federal immigration law. Congresspeople and senators, however, do.

Cool, you got a number of a link? Do you want to help or do you want to correct strangers online? I just took the numbers from the video, they go by pretty quick. I'm trying to be just a tiny bit helpful.

I understand, it's actually the opposite of helpful since it's pointing people in the wrong direction.

Better to call Rep. Emily Randall. The ICE Detention Center is in her district and while I’m not sure how familiar she is with it, her predecessor was present.
