Reject initiative to end OR sanctuary law

7/19/2018

1 Comment

 
Ballot measure 105 violates several of our seven UU principles including:

1st Principle: The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
2nd Principle: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;

Ballot measure 105 would end the state’s tradition of being a sanctuary state, the first state to have adopted this position. For 30 years it has guided the state in its actions regarding immigration.

We received this message from CAUSA with suggestions on actions that should be taken to oppose Measure 105. Their message in part reads:

Late yesterday we learned that Oregonians for Immigration Reform turned in enough signatures to qualify their measure for the November ballot. Measure 105 would throw out Oregon’s sanctuary state law, a law that has been working for over 30 years to protect Oregonians from unfair racial profiling.
​

We need your help to power an inclusive, statewide campaign to defeat Measure 105. Here are some important actions we ask that you take ASAP to mobilize your supporters to join the campaign to VOTE NO on Measure 105:
  • SHARE OUR FACEBOOK POST: Share this post on your organizational pages and personal profiles to help us grow our online presence.
  • FOLLOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES: On Facebook, Twitter andInstagram.
  • SAVE THE DATE: For a day of action on Saturday, July 28. We’ll be holding events in major cities throughout Oregon to mobilize supporters and send a strong, unified message that Oregonians believe in fairness and looking out for our neighbors.
