Mayor Ed Murray announces a plan to support immigrant and refugee children in Seattle Public Schools and their families, through counseling and legal services, an Inauguration Day event focused on immigrant communities, and community education forums aimed at sharing information about immigrant rights and resources. The announcement is part of the $250,000 commitment Mayor Murray made in his Thanksgiving Executive Order reaffirming Seattle's status as a welcoming city, and looks to leverage resources from partners in the philanthropic, non-profit and private sectors. Mayor Murray is joined by Councilmember M. Lorena González and Seattle Foundation President and CEO Tony Mestres, who has committed Foundation funds to support the partnership and will work to raise additional support from the philanthropic sector.
