The Shoreline UUC Social Justice Ministry, in partnership with Communities Rising, will be hosting the show The Detention Lottery. This play immerses the viewer in an immigration detention center courtroom, as several audience members are detained upon entry, assigned identities as immigrants, and defend themselves against deportation as best they can in court, without preparation. The play opens up the covert, capricious, and byzantine immigration enforcement system to public scrutiny. Written by Margaret O’Donnell and directed by Amy Youngblood.

This event benefits the FIRE Campaign: Fueling Immigrant and Refugee Empowerment, an emergency fundraising campaign to meet the critical needs of our immigrant neighbors by collectively fueling the work of these eight frontline immigrant-serving organizations across Washington state: AIDNW, Colectiva Legal del Pueblo, Jewish Coalition for Immigrant Justice NW, Kitsap Immigrant Assistance Center, Manzanita House, Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, Riverton Park United Methodist Church, and Unidos Nueva Alianza.
