NEW YEAR, NEW NEWSLETTER – 2ND ANNOUNCEMENT

REMINDER: NO COIN MEETING DEC. 16!

But we’ll have an exciting guest speaker for Jan. 6, 2026!

SMALL OREGON TOWN HAS A BIG WIN!

It is terrifying to be caught in the crosshairs of DHS and ICE. But Waldport, Oregon reacted quickly and with strength of conviction for a recent victory. Read more here in Lincoln Chronicle.

A DAY WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS – DEC. 18

Indivisible groups across the state are working with local immigrant organizations to plan events on Dec. 18 and we encourage them to do so. Activists call for a strike and demonstration to send a powerful message about the intrinsic value and benefit that immigrants, our friends and neighbors, bring to our economic well-being and our way of life. Read more about it in The Astorian. 

ICE HAS NO BUSINESS HERE: RECAP

Saturday, Dec. 13 was a magical example of how well-planned rallies can unite us to respond to a significant threat. As ICE pushes for a detention facility in Newport, Indivisible groups from all over Oregon say: “Not on our watch!” 

Has your group held a unique rally or event? Send us a summary and a picture or two. In the meantime, read what rally organizer Shar Walbaum has to say.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOUR INDIVISIBLE GROUP!
