Local organizer shares immigrant-defense hotline and upcoming solidarity actions

Robert, who identified himself with the Wayne County Immigrant Defense Network, told the meeting about a hotline maintained by the Portland Freedom Rights Coalition for neighbors to report incidents and request rapid responders to observe and document activity.

"That's a phone number that you can call if you see on this activity in your area," Robert said, adding that flyers with the hotline number and guidance were available on the meeting table. He described the hotline as a way to alert trained rapid responders who document incidents and help hold non‑state actors accountable.

Robert also described a series of actions being organized by the Oregon Smart Workers Union leading up to May 1, asking people to consider a day of economic nonparticipation to highlight immigrant contributions. He encouraged attendees to check event flyers on the table and to visit the network's page for volunteer opportunities and further details.
