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

A 64yo Seattle woman was recently detained at SeaTac airport after returning from a trip to visit family in the Philipines.

Lewelyn Dixon has lived in the US for 50 years, is a green card holder and works at UW Medicine. She's been detained at ICE's notorious prison, the NW Detention center.

@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

The newly launched #Seattle Hub for Synthetic #Biology aims to create new ways to document the development of cells, and how cells are affected by diseases, with tens of millions of dollars in support from the @AllenInstitute, the #ChanZuckerberg Initiative and #UWMedicine. https://www.geekwire.com/2023/seattle-hub-for-synthetic-biology-recording-cells/ #SeaSynBio #Science

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.
