Latine communities are critical to the fabric of our nation, and have led in resistance against abuses of power throughout history. This month, we celebrate our culture, our history, and our indelible place in the United States.

Oregonians have been voting by mail for decades. It is secure, trusted, and gives every eligible Oregonian a voice — and yesterday, the Supreme Court affirmed that President Trump and the U.S. Postal Service must follow the law. This is yet another win in our fight to protect your right to vote.

“I won’t pretend this outcome doesn’t hurt. But in my book, Becky had already won the moment she stepped onto the field, long before the courtroom was ever part of the story. She simply showed up to play."

If you're celebrating Juneteenth in Oregon it's likely thanks to Clara Mae Peoples. More than 80 years ago, Peoples brought the first Juneteenth celebration to Oregon.
