All Washingtonians deserve a safety net
if they experience job loss, regardless of immigration status.
The time is now to make sure immigrant workers are
excluded no more.
we all deserve a safety net.
Help us build one for our undocumented neighbors.
The Unemployment System for Excluded Immigrant Workers Coalition is comprised of immigrant & worker rights organizations across Washington. We organize to fund excluded workers during unemployment and to build a resilient economy that works for everyone. Our vision is an accessible unemployment system that includes undocumented workers.

Wage Replacement Program for Excluded Undocumented Workers
Every worker - no matter where they come from, how much they make, or their immigration status - deserves to have a pivotal safety net to fall back on if they lose their job. However, Washington State’s current unemployment system excludes certain workers solely because of their immigration status.
We are advocating to pass legislation that will create a program where undocumented workers can access support if they lose their jobs through no fault of their own. Although in 2025, our bill did not pass, our fight will continue in 2026 and we’ll need support from all Washingtonians to make this program a reality.
