Oregon YOUTH RISK ARREST
 
Quote:

Today is May Day and we are hoping many of you are supporting your local rallies and events. Here in Oregon undocumented youth are going to stand up to immigration in a very direct way. They are going to come out and risk arrest and they want you to be a part of it. You can watch the action live starting 4:30 PST / 7:30 EST.

Last month youth in Arizona took the same risk and were able to show their community that fear is the only thing holding us back. We need to come out and face our fears no matter where we live and today youth in Oregon are going to do just that. Watch live beginning at 4:30 pm PST / 7:30 pm EST.

Remember, we also need support for the Undocumented Bail Fund, so if you haven't made a donation yet consider making one. All money raised will go towards the execution of these funtastic events and getting folks out of jail safely.

Our goal is to have 1,000 online supporters for this event so feel free to share the live link with your friends, and remember this is 4:30 EST and 7:30 PST. If you want to follow the action on twitter you can follow @DreamAct for live updates.

Much love,

Thanks for the link. I was trying to watch it but the video kept freezing up, maybe it's my slow connection. Any interesting highlights?

Two of the four arrested yesterday have been released, the other two, Ricardo Alvera and Liliana Luna, are still detained at the Multnomah County Jail. Both of them have an ICE hold, meaning that they could be picked up by immigration authorities at any moment.

Please call ICE and demand that they drop the ICE hold on both of them.

TAKE ACTION: CAll ICE in Washington D.C. - John Morton - 202.732.3000

Sample call-in script: Hi, I was calling to ask that ICE drop its ICE hold on Ricardo Valera (inmate no. 1221508) and Liliana Luna (inmate no. 1221503) at the Multnomah County Jail. Both are low-priority, I thought John Morton said he wasn't detaining low-priority immigrants like them?"

In addition to calling please help us raise money for the Undocumented Bail Fund, currently both participants have a $2,500 bond. If you can, donate $25 to help the fund, your help is appreciated.

Thank you.
