Now that the election has come to an end, many in the Green River community are wondering what a Trump
presidency will mean for them. Among those are people who are undocumented and fearing deportation or discrimination. One of the core values of Green River College is to "foster respect for and respond equitably to diverse perspectives and needs." Here at the Holman Library, we are doing this by confirming our commitment to provide an inclusive learning environment and our support for students and staff of all religions, races, sex and gender identities, abilities, nations, ages, and immigration statuses.
We have a wide range of
materials online and on the shelves of the Holman Library for you to read, watch, and learn more about immigration in the United States.
Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal
Documented: A Film by an Undocumented American
Detained and Deported: Stories of Immigrant Families Under Fire
If you are undocumented and need help or legal assistance, or if you want to volunteer or make a donation, there
are several local organizations you can contact:
Northwest Immigrant Rights Project
Refugee Women’s Alliance
Kitsap Immigrant Assistance Center
Colective Legal del Puebla
