🐴Happy Lunar New Year!🐴
 
This year is the year of the Horse, which emphasizes energy, freedom, and forward momentum.

What began as a single week of celebration was expanded in 1970 to include the entire month of February, reflecting a growing commitment to honoring Black history and its lasting impact on our nation.

For 100 years, communities have come together to study, honor, and celebrate Black history. Called the “Father of Black History,” historian Carter G. Woodson helped launch this tradition by establishing a dedicated week in February to recognize the achievements and contributions of Black Americans.

Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we uplift local events, voices, and stories that celebrate Black communities and their lasting impact.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor trailblazers in the Latinx community who paved the way for equity and opportunity: Alicia Dickerson Montemayor, who championed women’s leadership in LULAC; Nina Otero-Warren, who fought for suffrage and bilingual education;

I am so proud to be the first Peruvian-American elected to the Oregon Legislature, and today I wanted to share a little bit about how I center my heritage in my work.

Supporting workers’ rights is not just a matter of policy—it is a matter of principle. It is about dignity, fairness, and the unshakable belief that every person who puts in an honest day’s work deserves respect, safety, and the wages they deserve.✊🏽

I stand in full solidarity with the working people of Oregon and workers across the country.

And now, on top of unsafe working conditions, federal threats to programs like Medicaid and SNAP deepen the uncertainty faced by working families. Stripping these supports away would push vulnerable families further into crisis, especially in rural and underserved communities.

…low-income workers of color are often forced to choose between putting food on the table for their families, paying for their medications, paying rent at the end of the month, or facing extreme and often unjust working conditions.
