Tuesday, July 17, 5pm – 12am: Day of Action Against ICE #Stopseparatingfamilies
On July 17, one month after the Portland rally and vigil that sparked the national #OccupyICE movement, we are calling for a National Day of action against ICE. The #OccupyICE movement began with one tent and a few sleeping bags; within 2 days, Portlanders from all walks of life had successfully forced the shutdown of the local I.C.E detention facility. What started with a dozen activists who took a stand in Portland has transformed into a national movement, with people from all walks of life, united under one goal: Abolish I.C.E. From coast to coast, take a stand against the American Gestapo! The louder we become, the more that the government tries to silence our dissent to their crimes against humanity. But the people will not be silenced. Join us.
Location: 4310 SW Macadam Ave.
Friday, July 20, 6-8pm: Protest Trump’s SC Nomination #NoBrettKavanaugh
A criminal shouldn’t get to pick their judge. We are continuing our resistance of this bogus SCOTUS nomination by holding a rally and protest of Brett Kavanaugh. We are calling on Democrats to do everything they can do to delay the vote until after the midterm elections. We are also calling on Republicans to vote against the nominee.
A women’s right to choose, marriage equality, money in politics, criminal justice, environmental justice, regulatory efforts, our every right and more are all at risk if we do not stand up against this pick. The impact of a successful confirmation will be devastating to marginalized communities. We have a responsibility to meet this nomination with resistance at all levels.
The only way we can stop this confirmation is with a massive movement. Please join us to rally, protest, speak and write letters and resist this administration’s efforts.
Location: Chapman Square, SW 4th Ave.
Thursday, July 26, 10-11am: Immigrant Rights is a Care Issue: Interfaith Vigil at ICE in PDX
When Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents separate families and detain immigrant members of our communities, the impact on health and healthcare is devastating.
Join people of faith, care providers and healthcare consumers to bear witness and protest the abusive treatment of immigrant workers and consumers. We will be holding a vigil and protest at the Portland office for ICE, and will be highlighting the unique way immigration instability affects care providers and the people they provide care for.
This vigil is a joint projects of Oregon CareWorks and the Interfaith Movement for Immigrant Justice (IMIRJ).
Location: 4310 SW Macadam Ave.
Thursday, July 26, 5:30-6:30pm: Rally for Public Services
Stop Cuts, Closures and Privatization! Defend the Postal Service, Schools, and Hospitals from the Administration’s Attacks!
Location: Main Post Office, SW Hoyt & Broadway
Thursday, August 9, 7-9pm: Undocumented: Film with Discussion
One man’s journey from what was once called “the most dangerous city in the world” – Medellin, Colombia – to Princeton and Harvard Medical School to become one of the top cardiac surgeons in New York State. As a 13 year-old, he and his 11 year-old brother traveled with 10 adult strangers in a tiny wooden boat through the treacherous Bermuda Triangle during hurricane season to join his parents in America, from whom they had been separated for years. Suggested $10-20, all proceeds will go to support Immigrant Legal Aid and KBOO Community Radio. No one turned away for lack of funds!
