Got questions about how we’re challenging Trump in the courts? Come by my legal town hall with AG Dan Rayfield tomorrow morning! I look forward to seeing you there.
Last week, AG Dan Rayfield sued the Trump admin over tariffs impacting our state.

This Saturday, I’ll be joining him at the OSU Cascades Campus for a town hall.

Join us for a conversation about our work to lower costs and stand up for Oregonians.

We’ve already seen local Republican social media groups attempt to organize harassment campaigns against public events in this area.

A “Trump Train” was planned to encircle the April 5 Hands Off rally in Bend but ultimately fizzled. Others were more violent in their language toward the event.
"In Central Oregon, cultural groups are pulling back from organizing large public events due to concerns of participants being detained or deported by the Trump administration, with community organizers citing fears of violence against Black, Latino and Asian people."

Event organizers announced separately that Madras Latino Fest and Bend Juneteenth are canceled this year, citing concerns over safety for participants.

Get out in your community tomorrow and connect with people. You will find so many of us are against what this administration and a Republican Congress are doing to our country.

It's time to stand up for our American values and freedoms.

See you Saturday 5pm at Peace Corner in Bend 🇺🇸
If you are feeling discouraged, powerless, or terrified, it is so tempting to retreat into solitude, but you need to be in community right now. Come out tomorrow if you possibly can. handsoff2025.com
