Protecting the Place We Call Home
🎙️ Talking Points
From Oregon for All
Everyone deserves to feel safe and have a fair shot—no exceptions.
Everyone, including immigrants, should be treated fairly and have the opportunity to thrive.
Immigrant Oregonians are part of the backbone of our communities. They raise families, run businesses, care for our elders, and grow our food.
Our communities are standing up for our immigrant and refugee families.
(If you’re in Oregon) → Oregon is home to more than 400,000 immigrants and refugees, who enrich our communities with a diversity of experiences, cultures, and traditions.
How You Can Help
Here are four ways to support the movement:
Promote lifesaving legal services: The Equity Corps of Oregon (ECO) program provides free legal representation to immigrant and refugee communities. If you know someone who is at risk of detention, please make sure they are pre-enrolled in the program by calling 1-888-274-7292.
Sign up to volunteer: Oregon For All needs trained volunteers, particularly outside of Portland, to verify ICE activity and promote awareness of the hotline. This hotline helps connects individuals to legal services. Complete this form to get trained.
Help report and verify ICE activity. Community members who believe they have seen ICE should report the specifics to the PIRC hotline at 1-888-622-1510 so it can be verified. Be mindful that posting unverified reports can create fear within immigrant communities.
Join La Resistencia’s campaign against the NWDC. La Resistencia is leading a campaign to close down the privately run immigrant detention center in Tacoma called the Northwest Detention Center. Join their efforts.
