Immigrants Rights 2025

Together, we will ensure every family in our state can work, contribute, and build a better life by protecting basic rights and removing barriers that harm immigrant Oregonians.

Whether we were born here or came here seeking a better life, Oregonians share the same hopes: to work hard, take care of our families, and make our communities better. By ensuring everyone has access to basic rights and protections, like food, housing, safety at work, and legal representation, we build stronger communities where all families can thrive.

The Issue

Right now in Oregon, many of our neighbors who are immigrants face impossible choices and unnecessary barriers that hurt us all:

  • Families face hunger, eviction, and homelessness because they’re excluded from food assistance and relief programs based on immigration status
  • Essential farmworkers are forced to work in dangerous conditions during climate disasters because they can’t afford to miss a day’s pay
  • Indigenous language speakers can’t access critical services or protect their basic rights due to language barriers.
  • Immigrant Oregonians, including children, face complex legal proceedings without representation

These barriers don’t just harm immigrant families—they weaken our state by preventing workers and neighbors from fully contributing to our communities and economy. Historically, Oregon has recognized that we’re stronger when everyone can participate fully in our communities, but critical programs that protect basic rights are running out of funding or have dangerous gaps in coverage.

The Solution

Immigrant justice organizations that represent communities statewide have united behind five proven solutions that will strengthen our state by ensuring everyone can meet their basic needs and fully contribute:

Universal Representation Ensures due process by providing legal representation to immigrants facing deportation or seeking to adjust their status. In its first two years, this successful program will have helped 10,000 Oregonians maintain stability for their families and employers.
Farmworker Disaster Relief Fund Protects essential agricultural workers during extreme weather events, making sure the people who grow our food don’t have to choose between their safety and paying rent or feeding their families.
Home Fund Provides emergency assistance to immigrant Oregonians to prevent eviction and homelessness through trusted community-based organizations to keep our communities stable and our workforce strong.
Indigenous Language Justice Ensures Indigenous languages speakers can access qualified interpreters. Everyone deserves to understand and be understood, especially in hospitals, courts, schools and public offices.
Food for All Oregonians Allows youth and elderly Oregonians to access food assistance, because no one should go hungry in our state. When all families can put food on the table, our children do better in school, health care costs decrease, and our local businesses thrive.
