Join us at PCUN’s A Day Without an Immigrant tomorrow, May 1, at the Oregon State Capitol from 11 AM-5 PM. We're showing what safety looks like in Oregon: dignity for all, and no to fear-driven tactics that try to divide the families who power our state. https://t.co/9dwNB4Lero

Everyone deserves to live, work, and play in healthy environments. By reducing our reliance on incarceration, we create the space for both our people and the land to heal. Instead of a prison, advocates are fighting for land restoration and healing. https://t.co/O81TBiWvaK

Yesterday, PSJ staff convened an in-person meeting with community partners from the Transforming Justice Coalition to reflect on the legislative session and align on the path forward — grounded in our shared commitment to building safer, more just communities. ✨🪩

Crime survivors deserve safety and to heal after trauma. That’s why PSJ advocates for programs that
prevent violence and repair harm. We are pushing for a
system that connects survivors to healthcare, mental
health support, and stable housing directly.

[Partnership for Safety & Justice @PSJoregon]

This is what system design does: it defines outcomes. A system built on quotas and surveillance will reward volume — not safety.

Court testimony reveals that ICE enforcement in Oregon has been driven by arrest quotas.

When systems are built around quotas, they prioritize volume over fairness, accuracy, and community well-being. Public safety should never be measured by how many people are arrested.

The Family Preservation Project hosted the annual Day of Empathy. Families gathered to celebrate the Bill of Rights for Children of Incarcerated Parents, a law to codify protections for children during their parents’ incarceration. https://t.co/SK3BQ47f2r

Because the criminal justice system focuses strictly on prosecution, it offers survivors very few paths to healing and accountability. Check out the Council on Criminal Justice’s webinar, "From Victim to Defendant: The Rise of Survivor Justice Laws."https://t.co/180TmjoLXZ

With nearly a $1 billion budget deficit, we knew that this was going to a tough year, but with your support, we fought for our values. Read now: https://t.co/JhgBBEr6YP.

Thank you to Mult. Co. for doubling down on sanctuary protections and funding immigrant legal aid to keep families together, uphold due process, and reject fear-based policies. #pdx #safety #community

At Partnership for Safety and Justice, we believe victims need a system that connects them to healthcare, mental health support, and safe, stable housing — without forcing them through the criminal justice system after harm. Join the movement at https://t.co/GeKyrRUDao.

The City of Gresham proves that stable housing is the key to public safety. With a 74% reduction in its unsheltered population over the last decade, the city provides case management and housing stability, while
ensuring long-term success.

Public safety means keeping families together. Family separation is deeply damaging; for a child, losing their parent in an instant is terrifying. For the parent, it’s a shattering loss that simply no policy can justify. This isn’t safety.
