"Imagine an Oregon where everyone feels safe in, where people are housed, healthy and looking to a peaceful global future. An Oregon that celebrates equity, that is a model for low carbon future. A model for how we work together, all of us, that connects us around the world.

Following Rep. Nearman’s hearing on criminal charges stemming from his enabling violent rioters to enter the Oregon Capitol in December, @ORDems reissued our call for Nearman to resign or be expelled from the Oregon House. Read our statement: #orpol dpo.org/news/democrati…
For years, Rep. Mike Nearman’s hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric has opened the door for extremists and white nationalists to further escalate their tactics of violence and intimidation.
In December, as video footage clearly shows, Nearman literally opened the door for armed, violent rioters to illegally enter the Oregon Capitol building and attack Oregon State Police.
