Over 750,0000 working class Oregonians rely on SNAP.

The Trump administration is using these benefits as a pawn to pass a budget that favors billionaires over workers.

In Oregon, we care for each other, and thankfully, many Oregonians are already working together to protect each other.

This kind of king-like brutality and punishment when people don’t bend their knee is exactly why tens of thousands of Oregonians marched on Saturday.

Marching is just the start. It’s time to mobilize to protect our rights, our health, and our community.

Kaiser Permanente used to be the model of quality care. But today, executives are putting profits before patients — risking short staffing, longer wait times, and worse outcomes.

Caregivers are on strike to protect the care our communities deserve.

Who were the 6 people the Administration just killed without due process?

Were they children?

Were they victims of human trafficking?

WE DON’T KNOW—they refuse to show proof.

No one made Trump judge, jury & executioner. This is a gross violation of international human rights.
