ICE is detaining our neighbors in Lane County

Nov. 6, 2025

ICE is in our backyard detaining our neighbors, our valued community members, our friends. Although many of us knew, deep down, it was just a matter of time, it doesn’t take away from the shock and anger felt by most people upon hearing the news that this was actually happening in Lane County yesterday, in Eugene and Cottage Grove.

Please consider helping out families impacted by ICE detainments. Here is a link to the Rural Organizing Project’s donation site.

If you are a witness to verified ICE activity, please call the PIRC hotline at 1-888-622-1510 and be ready to provide as many details as possible like how many agents, clothing, how many and what types of vehicles, location, time, and what you saw them doing.

Please consider filling out this form put together by the NEA to send a message to your reps: DON’T ALLOW SNAP BENEFITS TO LAPSE DURING THE SHUTDOWN!!!

The main page of our site now has a dedicated section to the food crisis. You will find loads of information to share with those in need. If you’d like to provide food items to some local pantries, Market of Choice is running a limited-time “10 for $10” sale on items that would be great to donate.

“Unionized Starbucks baristas voted to authorize an open-ended strike ahead of Starbucks' high-traffic holiday season, announced Starbucks Workers United on Wednesday.

The union said workers are prepared to strike if a contract is not finalized by November 13, which is the company's Red Cup Day, and strike actions could hit more than 25 cities and escalate if there is a lack of progress.”

Boycott Whole Foods. Boycott Home Depot. Boycott Starbucks.

STAY VOCAL. BUY LOCAL.

Please spread this message far and wide and remember; you don't have to do it all, but do SOMETHING!

EUGENE. SPRINGFIELD. TOGETHER. STRONG.
