DeFazio: DACA decision is important, but temporary

June 20, 2020
By Rep. Peter DeFazio 
​  From day one, the Trump administration has toyed with the lives of 650,000 DREAMers (10,000 in the state of Oregon) – undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children – breaking promises, demeaning character, attacking integrity, and threatening their livelihoods and their homes.DREAMers pitch in Little Leagues, go to prom, march in Fourth of July parades, raise families, and serve in the military. They are contributing members of every community. And nearly 30,000 DREAMers work in front-line health care jobs, fighting COVID.
  None of that matters to Donald Trump.
  I am proud of my longstanding support of DREAMers, I voted in favor of the DREAM Act back when it was first introduced in 2001, and I've been a cosponsor on every bill since. Congress has the power to stop Trump's cruelty by passing the DREAM Act. In fact, the House has already passed it, but Mitch McConnell refuses to let the Senate vote on it.
 That's vile, Add your name to tell Senate Republicans to protect DREAMers now!
  This week, the Supreme Court delivered a win for the rule of law and human decency by ruling that Donald Trump can't end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program – which protects DREAMers from deportation – just because he feels like it.
  That's a big victory, Graham, but it's just temporary. Trump and his secretary of racism, Stephen Miller, have made it clear that they will never stop attacking immigrants and undocumented Americans. They're no doubt already planning their next assault on DREAMers.
Ending DACA is wholly immoral and cruel. Congress must pass the DREAM Act to stop Trump and protect the 650,000 American DREAMers once and for all.
  Sign the petition now to tell Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans, "Do the right thing. Protect our DREAMers!"
In unity,
  – Peter

Democrats approve Black Lives Matter resolutions

   PORTLAND — The Democratic Party of Oregon State Central Committee, the Party’s governing body, unanimously approved two resolutions yesterday in response to worldwide demonstrations against misconduct by law enforcement and the systemic oppression of Black Americans. 
  “These resolutions are important because it matters that the Democratic Party speaks out against the killing of George Floyd and stands with African Americans, who live in a society where for far too long our lives are viewed as less valuable," said  said Oregon DNC Member Travis Nelson, RN.  "I am extremely proud and happy that the Democratic Party of Oregon passed these resolutions unanimously and we are unapologetically acknowledging this Juneteenth that BLACK LIVES MATTER,”
  Nelson wrote the resolutions in consultation with Black elected officials and many Black State Party leaders, including DPO Black Caucus Chair Rosa Colquitt, PhD, Multnomah County Democrats Vice Chair Rachelle Dixon, Shelaswau Crier, and Quinton Blanton.
  
The following resolutions passed Thursday: 
  • 
Resolution 2020-009: DECLARING THAT BLACK LIVES MATTER
 • 
Resolution 2020-010: DEMANDING JUSTICE & HONORING THE LEGACY OF GEORGE FLOYD
  The passage of these resolutions coincides with today’s commemoration of Juneteenth, a day that celebrates the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved African Americans in the former Confederacy, two years after the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation. 
  “Among all emancipation celebrations, we are reminded that June 19th falls closest to the summer solstice, the longest day of the year when the sun, at its zenith, defies the darkness in every state, including those states shadowed by slavery,” said Colquitt. “By choosing to remember the last state in the South that freedom touched, we celebrate the shining ‘promise of emancipation’.”
  For those who may want a fuller understanding of what Juneteenth means, you can read more here at the Democratic Party of Oregon Black Caucus' page.

Juneteenth: A celebration of freedom

By Rosa Colquitt
  "While Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, Juneteenth 2020 is bittersweet. The recent events of 2020, the witnessing of the wrongful deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks, is crushing our spirits and reminding us of the stark reality that the fight for racial justice, equality and freedom for BLACK LIVES continues."
  Juneteenth, (“June” plus “nineteenth”) sometimes called “Jubilee,” indicating the year of freedom from enslavement, or even more simply “Freedom Day,” is indeed a remarkable story commemorating the abolition of slavery in the United States. 
  It was June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger marched into Galveston, Texas, with official news that the Civil War had ended and the enslaved were now free. Granger read General Order Number 3 as follows:
  "The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired laborer."
​  
Amazingly, even in an era of slow communication and a nation at war, Granger was very late with important news of freedom — almost two and a half years after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery in the Confederacy, at least on paper.
  In knowing the dehumanization of even one day of enslavement, I’ve looked for any historical explanations for the delay in delivering and enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation. One version of the story of "freedom delayed, freedom denied" was the tale of the messenger who was murdered on the way to Texas with the news. Another is that the official proclamation was deliberately withheld by the enslavers to maintain the "free labor" force on their plantations. And still another is that federal troops actually waited for the slave owners to reap the benefits of one last cotton harvest before going to Texas. Whether all or none of these versions are true, slavery in Texas remained status quo well beyond what was statutory.
  My mind can scarcely imagine the depths of the emotions and the fear of the unknown for the "newly freed" Black men, women and children of Texas. Yet, it is within this historical backdrop of delay, confusion and terror that we have the beginnings of one of the most inspiring grassroots efforts of the post-Civil War period — the transformation of June 19 from a day of new freedom into an annual rite called “Juneteenth.” 
 Today, more than 154 years later, Juneteenth-centered activities are experiencing phenomenal growth and flourishing within communities and organizations throughout the country. The freedom celebrations highlight the tradition of bringing in guest speakers and the elders of the community to recount historical events of the past. Newer Juneteenth traditions focus on education and self-improvement, along with future community development, while cultivating knowledge and appreciation of African American history and culture.
  What many Americans remember most about Juneteenth is that it is always a joyful celebration of entertaining the masses with parades, musical entertainment, dance, games, and always food — an abundance of wonderfully prepared food. In Portland, Oregon, Juneteenth is combined with "Good in the Hood" for an unforgettable annual community celebration of young and old, family, friends, organizations, and business vendors from every corner of the state, along with southwest Washington, and reflects all of our diverse racial and ethnic groups. For sure, no matter how large the gatherings at "Good in the Hood," I always make my way from vendor to vendor until I have my soul food dinner of corn bread, black-eyed peas, collard greens and bar-b-que, and I always bring my own bottle of red soda water, just in case they don’t have it. One can’t quite celebrate Juneteenth without this original Texas tradition (and, unless I forget, there’s always a bottle of hot sauce in my purse).
Among all emancipation celebrations, we are reminded that June 19th falls closest to the summer solstice, the longest day of the year when the sun, at its zenith, defies the darkness in every state, including those states shadowed by slavery. By choosing to remember the last state in the South that freedom touched, we celebrate the shining "promise of emancipation." 
Still, we can never ignore or forget the bloody path America took by delaying freedom and deferring the fulfillment of the simple words in General Granger’s General Order Number 3: "This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves."
While Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, Juneteenth 2020 is bittersweet. The recent events of 2020, the witnessing of the wrongful deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks, is crushing our spirits and reminding us of the stark reality that the fight for racial justice, equality and freedom for BLACK LIVES continues.
The recent and unanimous votes to pass resolutions declaring that BLACK LIVES MATTER and demanding JUSTICE for and honoring the life of GEORGE FLOYD by our State Central Committee can give us hope that our cries to breathe are being heard.

Huge win for LGBTQ+ rights

  
​  As an LGBTQ+ American, as an activist who battled the insidious Oregon anti-gay ballot initiatives of the 1990's, and as the Democratic Party of Oregon's first out lesbian chair, I can barely scratch the surface in describing my joy at this morning's historic Supreme Court decision.

  The stunning 6-3 ruling declares that LGBTQ+ workers are protected by federal anti-discrimination laws. This dramatically changes the status quo for millions of Americans — over half the states have no non-discrimination law that applies to LGBTQ+ workers. (Oregon passed protections in 2007.)
  This is a HUGE victory for LGBTQ+ equality. This decision affirms that in America, you can no longer be fired or denied a job simply because of who you love or how you identify.
   But even with this win, there is still more work to be done, including passing H.R. 5: The Equality Act, which would provide clear, comprehensive non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people across the country in all areas of the law. That bill passed out of the House more than a year ago, and has been sitting in Mitch McConnell's Senate ever since.
  For Democrats, it was obvious that anti-discrimination laws apply to the LGBTQ+ community. Justice had been delayed and denied for far too long for many Americans, especially Aimee Stephens and Donald Zarda, two plaintiffs in today's cases who passed away as it was moving through the courts.  But this ruling was far from assured, and that it was decided with a 6-3 majority was surprising news in and of itself.
  
Whether or not ALL Americans can enjoy full equality under the law shouldn't be a question of whether a Republican-appointed Justice decides to rule in favor of civil rights. And the only way to avoid that question entirely is with a Democrat in the White House and with the Senate in Democratic hands, ready to appoint Justices who will protect and uphold civil rights for ALL Americans.
  
This ruling is cause for celebration, but the work is far from over. If you're able, will you help elect Democrats up and down the ballot this fall by making a donation today?
  "There is no room in this world for discrimination or racism," said Gerald Bostock, lead plaintiff in one of the cases. 
  As Democrats, we will keep pushing on that arc of justice for all Americans and all Oregonians. 
  Thank you,
  KC Hanson

Merkley, Booker introduce police misconduct database legislation

 June 7, 2020
By Sen. Jeff Merkley
​  
Black Lives Matter.The fact that this statement needs to be said, that this movement needs to exist, speaks volumes about our country.
  We are in the midst of a new civil rights movement because more than half a century after courageous patriots shamed America into outlawing Jim Crow, legal discrimination and racism continue to define America's institutions. Black men, women, and children's lives are still regularly taken from us by police officers.
  I am inspired by the strength, courage, and perseverance of today's patriots who are marching and protesting to force America to look in the mirror. I join them in saying Black Lives Matter. I join them in saying their names: George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, Philando Castille, Michael Brown, and far too many others.
  I also recognize that I have been given the responsibility and opportunity to do more.
It is not enough to simply say, "Black Lives Matter." Our laws must ensure that Black lives actually matter; and when those lives are attacked or taken, that those responsible are held accountable. We must bend toward justice.
  On Friday, I proposed legislation—which I'll be joining Senator Cory Booker to introduce—that will create a national database for police misconduct. 
  When a police officer loses their job due to excessive violence, racial bias, or other misconduct, they should not be able to quietly slip away and find a new job in another town down the road or across the country. When cities and counties (and universities and private security companies) hire police, they should be able to find out if those they're hiring have engaged in misconduct.
This is only a start.
  We must also ban chokeholds and other oxygen-depriving tactics nationwide, and identify them as civil rights violations. We must engage in nationwide data collection to determine how often and against whom force—whether justified or unjustified—is used. We must require civilian oversight. We must end no-knock warrants. We must end the transfer of battlefield armaments to civilian police agencies. We must end qualified immunity for police officers who engage in bad behavior. We must outlaw racial profiling and build systems to ensure it actually stops.
Even this long list is only a start. We must do more.
  To all those marching in the streets, to all those demanding change from home, to all those contributing to this cause in every way they can, I say this:
I see you. I hear you. I am with you.
  As a United States Senator, I have the extraordinary privilege to work every day to change our laws. But I also recognize that I owe an enormous debt to you, Graham, and so many others who helped put me in this position so that I can do this work.
  And I—and all of us—owe an enormous debt to all those who are building this movement, championing these ideas, and—far too often—sacrificing their bodies for this cause.
We cannot fix racism overnight. We cannot end the misuse of violence by police overnight.
But that does not mean that we cannot try. We must take action, and we must start now.
We, the People, will build a more perfect union. We will bend toward justice.

Statement from Democratic Party of Oregon
​leadership on protests and police violence

June 4, 2020
  The Democratic Party has not lived up to our Party's vision for true equality. This is why we are recommitting ourselves to the actions necessary to bring about needed changes that are so long overdue. Our eyes are open, we share the anger, and we stand in humble solidarity with all who are working to bring about critical cultural transformation. 

  We stand united with millions of people around the world in our condemnation of police violence against George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, and far too many other innocent black Americans whose lives were taken way too soon. Black lives matter. They are precious, glorious, and irreplaceable.
  In these most extraordinary times, anger and frustration about the status quo is not just understandable, but justified. Violence and destruction are not. We will march shoulder to shoulder with those who have taken to the streets to peacefully protest. Making our voices heard is a moral imperative. If we want to bring about real systemic change, then the choice isn’t between protests and politics. We have to do both. 
  At a time when our nation is suffering under misguided and malevolent leadership that seeks to divide us and turn back the clock to a supposed “greater” America, we know that the greatness of our nation is in its diversity. And as we work to take back our democracy, we must move forward with a full understanding of our historical strengths and weaknesses. That means fighting against the forces that seek to divide us — including fascists, right-wing agitators, and those inclined to incite violence for violence’s sake. 
  DPO Black Caucus Chair, Rosa Colquitt, PhD, said it best last week when she wrote: 
  The very core of both our Platform and our belief system as Democrats is about the equality of all. But in the wake of yet another senseless killing, we face the sad reality that our advocacy and even our most heartfelt, passionate beliefs were not enough to save George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and the thousands who came before.
  As the leadership of the Democratic Party of Oregon, we demand the public right to equal treatment before the law — regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, physical ability, or economic means.
  We see and understand "unequal justice before the law." In this tragic moment in history, we will work tirelessly to elect candidates who demand and act on reform to bring real systemic change for Black Americans and all other communities of color. With our eyes firmly on the prize, we will work with those who are striving to create a just and prosperous future for all.
  Thank you,
  –– Carla "K.C." Hanson, Democratic Party of Oregon Chair; Pete Lee, DPO Vice Chair; Michelle Risher, DPO Vice Chair; Eileen Kiely, DPO Secretary
Eddy Morales; DPO Treasurer; Tanya Shively, Democratic National Committee Member; Travis Nelson, DNC Member; Matt Keating, DNC Member.

Black Lives Matter

June 4, 2020
By State Rep. Marty Wilde

  Black lives matter. But we live in a culture and a country that systematically behaves as if they don’t, whether it is through discrimination in the law, the failure to investigate crimes committed against people of color or valuing their interests less in conversations about health, education, and the environment. I say this as a person who comes from a position of privilege that enables me to escape the cost of pernicious racism.
  When I served as a Police Commissioner in Eugene, we saw how it was not just a few ‘bad apples’ but rather a culture that empowered them. From that perspective, it was not just one officer who killed George Floyd, it was a culture that let three other officers stand by while it happened. In Eugene, working with the police, we were able to begin the work of tackling and changing this culture by using tools like body cameras, gathering data about the perceived race of people officers stopped to help them recognize implicit bias, and strengthening civilian oversight of the police.
  It was a hopeful moment when the police chief was invited to speak at a Black Lives Matter protest. But in the fight against individual misconduct, overt racism and for changing policies to help reduce unconscious bias and increase transparency, we’re not there yet. Not even close. The need for continued progress is immediate, urgent and the personal responsibility of each and every one of us.

We have to confront the racism deep at America's core

June 3, 2020
By Sen. Jeff Merkley
  Even in a hard year, this last week has been especially difficult. Like so many of you, I am heartbroken. And I am so angry. 
  I grieve for the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery — and so many, many others whose lives were discounted and dispatched by others who saw their color, not their humanity. I am furious at those who took their lives.
  But let's be crystal clear: these Americans were not the victims simply of some rogue racists — some bad apples. It's not just the apples, the entire tree has a rot of racism going back 400 years. It's the reason Amanda Cooper knew she could weaponize her privilege against Christian Cooper (no relation) in Central Park. It's why the coronavirus is killing our black friends, family members, and neighbors at a far higher rate than white people. It's why on every measure of health or education or income or wealth in America, black folks have it worse.
  And that rot has poisoned our criminal justice system. It's why white men with assault rifles are met with forbearance when they invade a state capitol building, but black peaceful protesters are savagely attacked. It's why the very sight of a police car is a threat to people of color, but not to white people. Of course not every police officer is a "bad cop," far from it. But that's not the point. The point is the culture of impunity, infused by centuries of racism, that empowers the worst elements and silences those who see and recognize wrongdoing. 
  We cannot cure this all at once. But that is no excuse for inaction. We must start. And we must do the hard work. We have to confront the racism deep at America's core, and not just condemn the racist actions that get videotaped. We must tackle the culture of impunity in policing, which is a toxic threat to our rights as Americans — for all of us, and especially for people of color who are harassed or arrested or worse every day. When police fire or drive indiscriminately into crowds, or pull down the American flag to raise a "blue line" flag, who are they serving? 
  I'm working on legislation that would help make some needed changes. When officers lose their jobs because of misuse of force or racist behavior, their police departments should be required to put their names into a national registry. No more shuffling bad cops from town to town. I want a national database of police-involved killings, with mandatory reporting — something that, incredibly, doesn't exist. These are just two small pieces in a much bigger effort that we must engage in.
  But we need more than policy change; we need a culture change. We all have a responsibility — especially those of us who are white — to acknowledge and confront our history, to lift up the voices of people who have been marginalized, and to work for equity and not just to denounce racism. 
  I believe in the beautiful principles our nation was founded on — not that they describe what America is, but that they define what America should be. We can't be so disillusioned or demoralized or exhausted or angry that we give up on that vision. The path to change is through organization, and mobilization, and building a political movement, and peaceful civil disobedience. 
  Let us stand together. Let us march together. Let us mourn together. And let us work to pursue justice. Together.
  Peace,
  –– Jeff
