47 miles south of Edmonds in Tacoma Washington you will find the NW Processing Center located in a desolate warehouse district in a stark and almost windowless building. This facility is owned and run by the GEO Group Corp., a for profit company operating under the direction of ICE - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Over the past year our group has attended three protest rallies outside the the barbed wire fence enclosing the facility. In the last month, we have committed ourselves to learn more about this place, the corporation that owns it, about ICE, about conditions in the Detention Center, and most important, who are the people being held there, where are they from, what are their names? Click below to learn more about our plan and how we are moving forward.

DON’T SIT OUT THIS ELECTION! VOTE!

Some elections are decided by a handful of votes. Every vote matters. Our Democracy depends on the outcome of this election!

VOTE EARLY

Voting early means your vote is locked in and safe, days before anyone else can decide what happens next, and it gives you room to fix anything that goes wrong, a signature mismatch, a missing form, and mitigates the potential impact of a major disruption on election day.

USE A BALLOT DROP BOX

Slow mail is causing ballots to be rejected.

**Be sure to drop your ballot in a drop box IN YOUR COUNTY – or it may be delayed!

Singing Resistance is a nonviolent grassroots movement that uses mass vocal harmony and shared song to protest authoritarianism, resist immigration enforcement actions, and build community. Originating in Minneapolis in early 2026, the movement has grown nationwide, drawing on historical freedom songs to process grief and project courage.
