More than 1,000 immigrants and refugees attended the Seattle United for Immigrants and Refugees Mega Workshop on Saturday, Feb. 3, 2018. We talked with participants who shared stories of why they attended the workshop, the second of its kind organized by city leaders. The City of Seattle's Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs partnered with community organizers to put on the large-scale event at Seattle Center's Exhibition Hall. A team of over 800 volunteers, including attorneys, paralegals and interpreters, provided free legal services for immigrants, including citizenship assistance and information about how federal immigration changes could impact their future.
