Coalicion Dignidad Migrante is a coalition of mutual aid groups in King County who came together in late 2023 to support asylum seekers who were sheltering outside Riverton Church in Tukwila.
There were originally over 1000 persons sheltering in various camps, as well as temporary hotels and Airbnbs, with more asylum seekers arriving every day. The majority of supply distributions and meals are planned and executed by the people living in the camp, and by BIPOC and undocumented community members living outside the camp.
As of June 2024, over 200 asylum-seekers who were evicted from hotels or Airbnbs due to a lack of funds are now sheltering outside the Kent Econolodge. We are working together to advocate for safe, indoor housing, expedited work permits, and other basic needs.
