buff.ly/FUdknGp “I’m free today because of this advocacy,” Soliman said. “Don’t underestimate your voice.” DHS dropped its flaw-ridden case -- based on a shallow association of Muslims with terrorists -- after push back. Together we can uphold a vision of immigrants as the cornerstone of US.

buff.ly/xL5h3Pc DPCC opposes this awful call for political violence and attack on free speech. Rep. Gillette has also expressed support for January 6th and made racist and Islamophobic statements. The representative must recant his hateful statements.

buff.ly/3vrSoF3 The Rehabilitation Act, a law that is 52 years ago today, helped establish protections for people with disabilities. For decades, however, subminimum wage has allowed for paying workers mere pennies per hour. We applaud Sen. Wyden for supporting sorely needed fair pay legislation.

buff.ly/vF7BX2T A strong YES for paracetamol's safety during pregnancy. The claim that Tylenol causes autism is a misread of available research. It also props up the falsehood of a "autism epidemic". This gives the idea of autism as an evil condition, rather than simply another way of being.

COVID-19 vaccines protect you and your loved ones from serious disease. DPCC applauds the Western States Health Alliance for recommending the vaccines as safe and effective for people older than 6 months (excluding a few medical conditions). This corrects the FDA's INAPPROPRIATE guidance. (1/2)

buff.ly/ZFadSg5 Senators Merkley and Van Hollen came back from their trip to the Middle East shaken and demanding a ceasefire with the return of all hostages. This conflict may seem far away, but we must uphold international values. We must support world peace, here and there and everywhere.

buff.ly/Xsu0uoO buff.ly/Xsu0uoO Street Roots -- a highly respected Portland area outlet -- wrote a guide on how to handle ICE encounters. Community support is essential to resisting unlawful immigration detentions. If you plan to film, here are some tips to get all the key info you can.

Thank you for your leadership, Councilor. The ICE facility on Macadam has detained people improperly at least 25 times recently. Portland's permitting bureau may issue a land use violation against ICE. Future steps are not clear, but ICE's illegal detention practices are officially being questioned.

buff.ly/PSPBMTf A recent ruling allows for stops based on "seeming Latino" but it's all inclusive. People feel forced to skip out on work and groceries now. Diplomatic relations chilled by ICE activity, like the Hyundai factory raid. We stand for racial equality, not racial profiling.

buff.ly/tZl6Bra This is awful news. ICE is even more emboldened to kidnap now. They will even bring intimidation to school campuses, the last place they belong. We applaud Councilor's efforts to find out where these individuals have been detained and unite them with legal resources.

buff.ly/de0FenG DPCC stands firmly in support of the unsheltered community members and for housing as a human right. And yet, threats against unsheltered people have risen with housing costs and growing efforts to criminalize their lives. Brian Kilmeade's remarks are immoral and indefensible.

We stand with the Democratic Party of Oregon for their statement condemning political violence following reports of Charlie Kirk being shot and killed at an event in Utah. Read the statement: dpo.org/news/press-r... @ordems.bsky.social

Last week, the Trump administration canceled funding for the Central Oregon Disability Support Network. This loss of funding means less access to opportunities for kids, and less support for parents. I'm demanding the funding be restored – it's what Oregon families deserve.

A hotline can help after the fact. How about in the thick of people being unlawfully detained by unidentified 'officers'? To close our sanctuary week, here's steps you can take (image from Rise Up For Justice). Please judge your circumstances first. We must support our fellow neighbors.

We remember and honor those lives changed in and from the September 11, 2001 attacks, claiming lives of civilians and firefighters alike. #NeverForget is important, yet easy to say. We must also never forget our decision to restrict civil liberties, especially for American Muslims. mlk50.co/46ePY5o

Question: What can I do if I see something happening in my neighborhood where unidentified people are hassling my neighbors? What if I think they may be ICE officers? (1/2)

Join INDIVISIBLE JUSTICE FOR ALL this Saturday. Stand tall in the fight to save democracy! Join neighbors and community members to learn new skills, share strategies, and build strength together. RSVP now to save your seat and get materials: [email protected]

When people can be kidnapped from preschool parking lots or wildfire sites, we have out of control secret police. When people can be taken by unidentified agents, we have out of control secret police. This proposal is a key step towards strengthening Oregon's sanctuary state policy and promise.

Thurs, Sep 11, 6-7:30pm PDT Being visible for democracy is more fun together! We’ll head out to connect with local businesses, share resistance tools, and build community. RSVP at buff.ly/yHgKXJU Note: Inclusion of an event does not imply official participation or endorsement by the DPCC.

Question: There have been rumors that the county is not adequately upholding sanctuary policy. What is Clackamas County's policy directing the County Sheriffs on how to interact with federal officers? (1/2)

Oregon is a sanctuary state, and Clackamas a sanctuary county. We stand up for our immigrant and refugee neighbors. The administration is using 'crime' as cover for wanting to quell these values. As a counter, DPCC will shine a spotlight on sanctuary policy and practice throughout the week.

buff.ly/XU9nYsj We stand with Chicago.

Surging cost of living expenses bring prescription drug costs into the limelight. Pharma industry groups claim drug transparency violates their First Amendment Rights, which goes against public interest. We applaud this ruling and other recent efforts to expand critical medicine access in Oregon.

Lori Chavez-DeRemer's 1st "primary residence" is in Happy Valley. A few months later she obtained a mortgage for a 2nd "primary residence" near a country club in sunny Arizona.

buff.ly/2c84lOZ Vaccines save people's lives and slow down spread. They are also vital for community healthy, esp. those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons. When Florida moves against vaccine requirements, we in Oregon must move *for* vaccines. For better public health, and for justice.

Thank you to Oregon AG Dan Rayfield for challenging Trump's unlawful TAXES (what a tariff really is). They're already hitting food, electronics, medicines. Mail to the U.S. is even slowing. We are being isolated, cut off from our trade partners and allies. We must halt these destructive tariffs.
