🚨 Our safety doesn't come from surveillance. It comes from investing in our communities. 🏘️

📢 Calling all Beaverton residents: The Beaverton City Council needs to hear from YOU as it decides the next budget. The general fund is your tax dollars at work, and community voices matter.

⏱️ When: Tuesday, June 16th at 6:00 p.m.
📍Where: Beaverton City Hall, 12725 SW Millikan Way, Beaverton, OR 97005 or virtual

Instead of spending more of our tax dollars on state surveillance and already oversized police budgets, we can invest in what actually keeps us safe:

🏠 Affordable housing
⚡ Climate justice
🏫 Good schools
💼 Family-supporting jobs
🌳 Parks and green spaces
🩺 Healthcare
🚑 Rapid response services
🚶 Livable cities where everyone has what they need to thrive

✍️ Sign up to testify in person or submit written testimony to make sure the budget reflects community safety, belonging, and care—not more surveillance.

🔗 Register to testify: https://beavertonoregon-city.app.transform.civicplus.com/forms/40886
🎤 Live oral testimony requires pre-registration.
📧 Can't attend in person? Submit written comments at least 24 hours before the meeting to: [email protected]

Change happens when communities organize.

Our 2025 Annual Report celebrates a year of powerful victories driven by members across Oregon:

• Secured a historic $28 million investment for the TV Highway Transit & Safety Project
• Helped unlock access to 164 affordable housing units
• Reallocated $2 million toward community priorities in Portland
• Supported 30+ culturally significant community garden plots
• Trained youth leaders advancing reproductive health education
• Launched a new Promotor/a Program supporting forestry workers facing unsafe conditions
• Welcomed more than 500 new members into our movement

These accomplishments represent more than numbers, they reflect stronger relationships, deeper trust, and growing collective power.

As we thank Interim Executive Director Nuhamin Eiden for their leadership, we also welcome our new Executive Director, Pam Phan, who will help lead Unite Oregon into its next chapter.

Together, we remain committed to building a future where everyone has access to affordable housing, clean air and water, economic dignity, and the freedom to thrive.

This May 1st, immigrants, workers, and allies across Oregon are coming together for A Day Without an Immigrant — a powerful, statewide demonstration.

For 24 hours, we’re stepping away from work, school, and shopping to show what Oregon looks like without us. Because the truth is: Oregon can’t run without immigrants.

Immigrants make up 19% of the U.S. workforce, contributing across every industry — from healthcare to agriculture to education. Yet families are being torn apart through fear-based enforcement. These attacks are meant to silence us. We refuse to be silent.

📍 Join an event near you:
• Portland — South Park Blocks | 1:30 PM Rally / 3 PM March
• Salem — Oregon Capitol | 11 AM–5 PM
• Eugene — Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza | 4 PM
• Bend — Drake Park (2 PM) & Peace Corner (3:30 PM)
• Corvallis — Benton County Circuit Court | 2–4 PM
• Medford — Veterans Park | 4–7 PM
• Ontario — Ontario Lions Park | 5–9 PM MT

Highlights from our staff retreat ✨💖

We took time to build community & engage in strategic planning with staff last week, as we envision and build for the future of Unite. We are so thankful for our time together as we continue to strengthen Unite internally so that we can contribute to building the movement towards a more just, livable Oregon for everyone.

What if our communities could keep the land we live on—now and for future generations? 🌱

Community Land Trusts (CLTs) are a powerful tool for building long-term stability, preserving affordability, and preventing displacement—especially for communities historically excluded from land ownership.

Join us for Understanding Community Land Trusts to learn:
• What CLTs are and how they work
• Their origins and role today
• How they help preserve community land ownership
• How they foster stability and prevent displacement

📅 April 29, 2026
⏰ 6:00–7:00 PM
📍 Online via Zoom

We’re excited to share that we are hosting our second Lotería de Paisanos event in collaboration with the Hillsboro Downtown Partnership (HDP)!

📍 Location: Paisanos Plaza
966 SE Oak St, Hillsboro, OR 97123
📅 Date & Time: Wednesday, April 22 | 4:00–8:00 PM

This event is all about bringing new energy to Paisanos Plaza by inviting community members who may not have visited before—or who don’t normally shop there—to come out and discover what it has to offer. We’ve intentionally planned it on one of the slower days of the week to help boost visibility and support for local businesses.

For those unfamiliar, Paisanos Plaza is a vibrant, flea market-style space in Hillsboro featuring a wide variety of vendors. While many businesses offer delicious food options, there are also vendors selling non-food items such as blankets, perfumes, cookware, medicinal herbs and plants, clothing, and more.

During Lotería de Paisanos, participants will take part in an interactive, bingo-style game designed to encourage support for these businesses. Each square on the game card represents an activity—such as following a business on social media, leaving a Google review, purchasing a food or non-food item, and more. As participants complete each activity, they mark off their card.

No need to RSVP, just show up with your friends and family!

For over 15 years, Unite Oregon has led the Pan-Immigrant Leadership and Organizing Training (PILOT) program to cultivate leadership within immigrant and refugee communities in Oregon. Grounded in ethical principles such as reciprocity and transparency, PILOT equips emerging leaders with foundational knowledge, practical skills, and networks to drive transformative change across communities.

Using a popular education model, centered on lived experience, and participatory learning, PILOT creates a transformative space where participants build personal power, analyze systems of oppression, and develop organizing strategies aligned with Unite Oregon’s Six Pillars: Climate Justice, Housing, Community Safety, Health Equity, Education, and Equitable Community Development.

PILOT (Pan Immigrant Leadership Organizing Training) builds power across immigrant and refugee communities through leadership and organizing skill development. Learn to advocate for social change while connecting with others who share your passion for community. Open to immigrants, refugees, asylees, and children of immigrants/refugees/asylees. Interpretation available.
