Trump escalates threats against Oregon

Last night, for the third time in recent weeks, Trump threatened federal action in Oregon. We do not want a military takeover in Oregon. Today, we are rolling out a new webpage and message guide with resources to help you stay updated, take action, and speak out as we learn more.

OREGON IS HOME. NOT A MILITARY TARGET.

WHAT'S HAPPENING: Last night, amid the deployment of National Guard units to California, D.C., and Tennessee, President Trump escalated his threat of federal action in Oregon. This marks the third instance in less than three weeks that Trump has specifically targeted Oregon, this time after making false and inflammatory statements about Portland. We do not know what the future holds, but one thing is clear: We do not want federal forces to take control over our communities.

Any takeover of any community in Oregon is an abuse of power, a gross federal overreach, and a misuse of the military. People across the state and the political spectrum are coming together to peacefully oppose politically motivated attacks on our communities.

YOU CAN TAKE ACTION NOW

  • Visit our new webpage, which outlines a timeline of key events, actions you can take, and messaging and shareable graphics.

  • Check out our brand-new messaging guide for organizational and elected leaders, the faith and business community, and everyday Oregonians seeking to communicate our collective opposition to the Trump administration’s potential deployment of National Guard troops in Oregon.

    PROTECTING IMMIGRANT OREGONIANS

    WHAT'S HAPPENING: Unfortunately, more local politicians have signed on to a letter in support of Marion County’s reckless attack on Oregon’s bipartisan, decades-old sanctuary law. We must speak out in support of our sanctuary law.

    YOU CAN TAKE ACTION NOW

    • Please use this tool to tell Marion County Commissioners to defend Oregon’s Sanctuary Law. If you have already signed it, please share it with others for their signature.
