On Saturday, April 5, at 12 noon, labor and community organizations will hold a rally at
Angle Lake Park in SeaTac, 19408 International Boulevard, and march to the Federal
Detention Center, 2425 S. 200 th St., SeaTac. The protest is aimed against the Trump
Administration’s escalating attacks on working-class people, including his executive
order abolishing the Department of Education, imprisonment of immigrants in Federal
Detention Centers, and gutting of civil rights for immigrant and trans students.
The protest is endorsed by MLK Labor and numerous unions, including the Highline
Education Association and Teamster 763, who represent teachers and staff in the
Highline School District.
Students, teachers, and public-school staff from across South King County will speak at
the rally, along with community and labor leaders. Participants will further amplify their
demands with bullhorns, picket signs and banners as they march to the Detention
Center after the rally.
Sponsors and endorsers of the April 5th rally and march are uniting to:
– Melt Ice
– Fund Public Schools
– Support Immigrant and Trans Students
– Defend Public Workers and Services
