The 2026 session may be over, but the impact of the BIPOC Caucus will last beyond it.

Yesterday, the Oregon Capital Chronicle gave an update on where bills stand in regards to protecting our immigrant and refugee communities. Many of those bills are top priorities of the BIPOC Caucus. #OrPol #orleg oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/02/17/ore…

Today, we announced our policy agenda that responds to the growing concerns of BIPOC Oregonians about the violent and cruel tactics of the Trump administration. In a critical moment for the state, we are ready to meet it head on with bold policy actions. statesmanjournal.com/story/news/pol…

That is why for the short session we are committed to bringing forward legislation to protect all of our communities.

In a time when Oregon is being attacked by a hostile federal administration, we stand together in condemning the violence. At a critical crossroads, we are ready to meet the moment and show up for Oregonians.

We stand with our colleagues, Sen. Jama, Rep. Valderrama, and Rep. Wise, as our state reckons with the reality of two Oregonians shot violently by federal agents. We are heartbroken by this act of brutality, and our thoughts are with loved ones as the victims are hospitalized.

On the front page of the Oregonian, Reps. Lesly Muñoz and @RickiRuizOR announced the Protect Your Door Act, creating accountability for when federal agents violate the Fourth Amendment rights of Oregonians. #orpol #orleg oregonlive.com/politics/2026/…

Another BIPOC Caucus member in the news. This time, Rep. Thủy Trần was quoted in the Oregonian about the I-5 bridge cost estimate being delayed. 🗓️ #orpol #orleg oregonlive.com/politics/2025/…

Today, the Oregonian talked about Rep. Wise's work on making the practice of regularly reporting attendance data statewide, so we can support the needs of our students and families proactively. 🍎 oregonlive.com/education/2025…

Hate and violence should never be tolerated or left unchallenged. Instead of fear and hate, we must lift each other up, neighbor to neighbor, and stand firmly for a world where everyone is safe to be who they are.

And budget asks that got funded!

Bills that we passed. 💯
