Who we are
Our Story
The Walla Walla Immigrant Rights Coalition (WWIRC) was founded in 2017 in response to growing anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies that threatened the safety and dignity of immigrants in our community. Situated in southeastern Washington, the Walla Walla Valley is home to a vibrant and hardworking immigrant population, many of whom are first-generation residents. Our coalition was created to uplift, empower, and protect the immigrant community while ensuring their voices are heard and valued.
Our Mission
The Walla Walla Immigrant Rights Coalition seeks to amplify the strength of our immigrant community. We are committed to fostering a just and equitable community where immigrants have access to the resources, opportunities, and support they need to build successful and fulfilling lives. We are on a mission to foster equity with immigrant populations in the Walla Walla Valley through education, advocacy, outreach, and emergency aid.
