Mayor Murray Promotes ‘Day of
Action’ in Support of Immigration
Reform
On Tuesday Mayor Murray joined a press confer-
ence call with mayors across the country to kick off a
Day of Action demonstrating support for immigrants
and refugees, as well as comprehensive immigration
reform. Actions announced by Mayor Murray in-
clude an Immigration 101 training for City employ-
ees, including Seattle police officers who have regu-
lar interactions with residents, as well as a regional
convening on immigration that is scheduled for later
this spring. These actions build on Mayor Murray’s
ongoing support of the immigrant and refugee com-
munity, including signing an Executive Order reaf-
firming Seattle as a Welcoming City and hosting Seat-
tle’s largest-ever Citizenship Workshop.
