Recently, we raised over $90,000 during a single-day fundraiser for local grassroots orgs. Want to replicate this at your institution? We have created a toolkit with all of our organizing materials and information. Check this google link: https://t.co/sZBFNaNiNL

What's happening in Portland?

For months, protests have been occurring nearly every day in Portland, Oregon. Numerous videos have been circulating portraying federal officers in unmarked vehicles detaining innocent individuals and peaceful protesters.

The 4th amendment protects Americans from stops and searches. However, Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security have the authority to operate within a 100-mile border of US external boundaries - Portland falls within this zone. https://t.co/qZtO5XJqij
