Anti-Immigrant sentiment is being driven from the top offices- we'll discuss the panoply of current anti-immigrant actions.

The ballot initiative that sought to repeal the Oregon state sanctuary law, has gathered enough signatures to be put on the November 6th ballot.  You'll find it there as Ballot Measure 105.

What does it mean that 16 sheriffs in Oregon (representing less than 20% of the state's population), wrote an open letter urging Oregonian's to pass this hateful legislation?

Please join our discussion with Andrea Williams, Executive Director of Causa Oregon Causa Oregon is Oregon's Latinx immigrant rights organizationm which is currently working with other groups to defeat this racist measure that would not only end sanctuary protection, but many fear it will increase racial profiling. 

We'll also ask Andrea what's been happening with ICE deportations and family separations, both in Oregon and nationally.

In times of unpredictable ICE action, it's crucial to know what your rights are, check out this link  https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights .   Be prepared!
