No Kings ll Salem OR · Salem Region Indivisible https://www.mobilize.us/salemregionindivisible/event/838285/
We know you've been watching and reading about Trump's authoritarian power grabs. He's deploying the military to blue cities, he's abducting immigrants and holding them in inhumane facilities, he's attempting to rig the congressional maps, his assault on the First Amendment and so much more. Consistency is key in our fight, and showing up through highly visible, peaceful protests is one of the most important ways to make our message loud and clear. It's up to us to remind him that we, the majority of millions, are united, and together, we're shouting America has No Kings! On June 14, Trump wanted nothing more than to have the birthday parade of his dreams, but you helped shift the focus to our movement instead. Millions of people participated in protests in every state, and we even saw international solidarity -- inspired by your organizing power. There's real proof the movement is growing. Every time Trump escalates his authoritarian power grabs, the No Kings movement grows stronger as more and more people realize they can't sit back and let this administration wreak havoc on our lives and destroy our democracy. So, as we look ahead to October 18, get ready to help us remind Trump and his administration that power belongs to the people. America has no kings. This country belongs to us, and we will defend it! See you all there!

#Democrat #Oregon Senators #JeffMerkley & #RonWyden reacted on Saturday after President Donald #Trump announced he planned to send troops to #Portland, the most populous city in their state.
“Trump is launching #authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping 2 provoke #conflict in my hometown,” Wyden wrote on #SocialMedia. “I urge #Oregonians 2 reject Trump’s attempt 2 incite #violence in what we know is a vibrant & peaceful city"

In a letter to #Homan, who serves as executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations (aka 'Border Czar'), #Wyden said the town hall would allow the administration official to hear directly from #Oregonians about #immigration policy.
"I would certainly welcome your participation at my next #MultnomahCounty town hall, which I am working to schedule next month, so you can hear directly from Oregonians."

We're calling on our #Oregon Treasury to align its investments — including #PERS money — with our values. #Oregonians don't want to fund human rights and environmental violators like #Tesla. (Million$$ of our PERS tax dollars are invested in Tesla.) And we're Supporting #HB3765 protecting people working in Tesla's nickel mines in the #Philippines.
Rally with our friends @sunrisemvmt and @ExtinctionR for this #EarthDay25 event.
**RISE FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE** The Trump-Musk regime is waging an all-out attack on climate action; gutting agencies, research, resilience and clean energy infrastructure. We can make a difference locally. We're calling on our Oregon Treasury to align its investments — including PERS money — with our values. Oregonians don't want to fund human rights and environmental violators like Tesla. (Million$$ of our PERS tax dollars are invested in Tesla.)

🧵 2_2. Proponents also say making #StandardTime permanent will prevent kids going to school in the dark. I start work at 7:30A and from mid-December to mid-January, trust me, it's dark at 7:30! I find this proposal bad for #Oregonians. One last thought, who is behind this? With less sun in the summer, we will need to use more energy to light our homes because of the earlier sunsets in May and September! Are we prepared for even higher electricity bills?
