The local chapter of the Service Employees International Union has put out a call to action to support detained workers like Lewelyn Dixon.

The SEIU Union demands that the University of Washington:

– Protect detained workers’ jobs
– Provide leave for immigration proceedings
– Educate all employees on their rights

"Family calls for release of woman legally in US for 50 years and now detainted by ICE"Lewelyn has lived in the U.S. for 50 years. She’s a green card holder, a lab technician at UW Medicine, and a trusted pillar in her family. Now, she’s in ICE detention while trying to come home after visiting loved ones in the Philippines.

She’s part of our union family. And what’s happening to her could happen to any one of us.

We’re calling on UW to do better: 
– Protect detained workers’ jobs
– Provide leave for immigration proceedings
– Educate all employees on their rights

✊🏽 Stand with Lewelyn. Stand with immigrant workers.

@MelodyWainscott This is shocking. If this was a planned surgery, where they had time to go over your records and plan for it, it is unacceptable. Please take this forward legally if you can - you will be doing countless other future patients a favor! #UWMedicine

It appears the official Covid19 policy of Valley Medical Center and UW Medicine now is to pretend it does not exist anymore.

Not a single person at my clinic appointment today was wearing a mask, no one offered to wear one as I was, and I was directed to a retail pharmacy (public, understaffed, not a medical facility) to get a Covid19 shot.

As I entered the clinic, none of the staff I saw had masks on. As soon as they saw me with a mask, they put theirs on.

I mean, come on. Instead of listing all these symptoms, why not just freakin' require masks all the time? You're a medical institution.
