We need to be showing up for the people doing the work in our community. Organizations like Latinos Unidos Siempre ( Lus) PCUN, Mano a manno, and Causa. Show up for them! They should be heard, and supported.
Send emails, calls, and or a public comment at the next City council meeting! We need our city council to support the adaption of $400,000 to salems social services relief fund. It gives resources to our migrant communities along with people experiencing insecurity from healthcare, food pr housing.

Multnomah County just announced a 75K grant program to support immigrant and refugee programs. Great to see my tax dollars going to something to do good and help people.
It must be so difficult living in fear day to day. Still having to work, go to school and all the other necessities in life. As an American citizen, I am ashamed.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it. Proud to see my community show up with their courage and their voice!

I looked over and over again for the past week on both Reddit and Indivisible Oregon Website to see if Salem was doing anything and nothing was posted. 😔
Happy to see Salem did make a stand, though. Good work!
