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.

During the months of June and July, EPAG will begin to formulate our plans to participate actions to monitor safe and secure midterm elections, support get-out-the-vote actions, and learn all we can about the voting process here in our county.

We are committed to visible and loud protest in our community as a means to show others our commitment to Democracy and our future. We’ve participated in every national and many local protests and rallies. We are committed to being a part of the 3.5% of population rising up and speaking up for our democracy.

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.

JULY 18-20, 2026

Across America, let’s make good trouble.

We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations. The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action.

Locations in Edmonds & Lynnwood
