Donate to support YIRN
YIRN distributes Know Your Rights information to community members and handouts for trainings at no cost to participants. Your donations also help us provide humanitarian assistance to affected families! Between the Ridges is a 501(c)(3) and our fiscal sponsor [Tax ID No. 46-3102292]. YIRN volunteers organize and provide services for free, enabling 100% of donated funds to go directly to families and advocacy efforts.
Ways to Donate
Gas Cards – Our Faith Communities committee is collecting $50 gas cards for the families of detainees so they can visit their detained family member in Tacoma.
GoFundMe – YIRN’s GoFundMe page is raising money for phone and commissary funds for detainees in NW Detention Center, gas cards, initial legal consults, and other financial assistance for detainee’s families.
Our Humanitarian Assistance Committee sends out an “Our Neighbors in Need” email 1-2 times a month with specific needs for families. If you’d like to receive those emails, please let us know by completing this form or emailing yakimaresponsenetwork@gmail.com and we’ll add you to the notification list.

Yearning and YIRN
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
“The New Colossus” by American poet Emma Lazarus
