On June 24, 2018, an interfaith gathering for Immigrant Justice protested President Trump's "Zero Tolerance" policy at the Federal Correctional Institution in Sheridan, Oregon. Participants prayed, sang, and read scripture, opposing the internment of 123 refugees and the separation of parents from their children.

Despite officials portraying objectors as "radicals," diverse Portlanders united, led by love, to condemn the policy as immoral and support detainees. Freedom for Immigrants (https://www.freedomforimmigrants.org/) offers data on detention, highlighting it as a major industry. This event was filmed by Ruth Ann Barrett.

For 45 years, the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) has provided vital protections for dolphins, whales, and seals in U.S. waters.

Unfortunately, a new congressional bill threatens these safeguards. It would facilitate harmful activities like seismic airgun blasting—a loud, dangerous process used for oil and gas exploration—making it easier to injure these iconic animals.

Lia Harel, 18, co-founded and organizes Minnesota Can’t Wait, a youth-led movement pushing for bold climate action. She became an organizer three years ago, recognizing climate change's broad societal impacts.

Frustrated, she joined other youth activists in summer 2018 to demand Minnesota lead on climate policies, forming Minnesota Can’t Wait, reflecting their urgency. The movement united diverse groups—including Indigenous communities and business leaders—around three core demands: no new fossil fuel infrastructure, statewide greenhouse gas regulation, and supporting the Minnesota Green New Deal Bill. They organized rallies, testified, and helped draft legislation, aiming to shift conversations and elevate expectations for a just, sustainable economy.
