Take a Stand, Make a Plan Task Force
We are a task force within Indivisible North Coast Oregon (INCO) focused on strengthening Clatsop County’s response to possible future actions by the Department of Homeland Security. Across the nation and here in Clatsop County, DHS agencies ICE and CBP are violently pulling people from our streets in the guise of removing criminal illegal immigrants. They are tearing apart families, instilling fear in neighborhoods, disrupting local businesses, and denying the people they harass their due process under the law.
Business, Faith Communities and Government
The task force is divided into three groups focused on local government, faith communities and local businesses. We’re asking those sectors to take a stand by publicly stating their opposition to both the egregious actions of federal immigration agents and the creation of detention facilities for immigrants in our communities.
We also ask them to Make a Plan to prepare and respond if federal agents do come into our communities and by their actions violate the Oregon State Constitution and the US Constitution.

ICE - Immigration and Customs Enforcement CPB - Customs and Border Protection
On Thursday, June, 18th from 6-8:00 pm at Grace Episcopal Church, 1545 Franklin Ave in Astoria, we are hosting a gathering of the faith community. We invite you to attend.
Join with friends and neighbors, share snacks, and explore ways that through faith in action, we can work together to uplift the vulnerable, and create safe and thriving communities with our immigrant neighbors.
This is an interfaith opportunity for all who want to explore how faith and conscience can move us to action and sustain us through these challenging times. You do not need to be part of a specific faith tradition to join us.
The arc of history does bend towards justice, when we come together to bend it.
