Immigrants are critical to our state’s success and shared prosperity.
Oregon is home to more than 400,000 immigrants and their families. Our state is enriched by the diversity of experiences, cultures, and traditions that all of us, including immigrants, bring to our communities.
Oregonians have fought for generations to create a welcoming state for immigrants and refugees. Oregon has one of America’s oldest Sanctuary State Laws, which protects Oregonians from racial profiling. We must protect and defend this critical law for everyone who calls Oregon home.
The following are resources for immigrant and refugee community members who need assistance:
Oregon Sanctuary Law Toolkit: Everyone has the right to live, work, play, and learn safely in Oregon. The Oregon Attorney General provides this toolkit, which covers the essential information needed to understand, report, and combat the state’s Sanctuary Promise Laws violations.
Know Your Rights (ACLU of Oregon): Oregon has made significant strides toward a more just, equitable, and caring democracy for immigrant Oregonians. These strides have included strengthening Oregon’s sanctuary law, ensuring migrant farm workers are paid and treated fairly, and funding legal resources that ensure immigrants can partner with strong advocates to navigate the complexities of the immigration system.
Find an Immigration Attorney: The Equity Corps of Oregon provides legal assistance to immigrant and refugee Oregonians who need help with immigration law, are seeking asylum, are applying for DACA, are filing for an immigration work permit, or cannot afford a lawyer or filing fees.
Safeguarding Organization’s Toolkit: A toolkit to help nonprofit organizations shore up their internal business practices and digital security.
Safeguarding Oregon Schools: A Toolkit for Schools and School Districts to Protect School CommunitiesThreatened with Immigration Enforcement.
