'Day without an Immigrant' observances planned The "Day without an Immigrant) is being organized by PCUN to stand with Immigrant workers:
"Immigrant workers are the backbone some of Oregon's most important sectors. We came here following the American dream, and to build a better life for our families. We work the jobs nobody else will do. Backbreaking. Low paid. Dangerous labor. We helped make this country one of the richest countries in the world. We're not criminals, we're families, workers, PEOPLE! We have seen an overwhelming increase in ICE and Border Patrol in our communities, terrorizing our children, destabilizing our local business, harming our community. As farmworkers, one of our most powerful messages is that we're the workers that feed America. Without us America doesn't eat. It will be important that we start to own that power, and gain commitments from immigrants and allies alike to deny economic participation. No work. No shopping. No school. Join our cause!"
