Growing up on food stamps, standing in line at food pantries, living in the projects, and having parents who don’t speak English required me to learn how to navigate many complicated systems at the age of 9. — PolitiTweet.org

I show up here in this space with my ancestors who ground me and give me strength to continue to be part of a much bigger goal and vision of ensuring that the immigrant and refugee community voice, experience, and story are part of the conversation as well as key decision making. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s significant that today as we celebrate World Refugee Day, Oregon is also observing #Juneteenth. — PolitiTweet.org

I can’t talk about the war without giving gratitude to the thousands of US and SE Asia soldiers who fought in the war and sacrificed their lives. I also must pay homage to the coalition of Black leaders who called upon Congress in 1978 to allow Indochinese refugees into the US. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m the daughter of Phouvong and Soulideth whose roots and ancestors are from the country of Laos. I was born in a refugee camp in Thailand and resettled to the U.S. with my parents in the late 70s, shortly after the Vietnam War and Secret War in Laos. https://t.co/PzbfoU4mpe — PolitiTweet.org

Sabaidee Oregon — this is Toc Soneoulay-Gillespie, Director of the Office of Immigrant and Refugee Advancement in the Governor’s Office. I’m taking over the Governor’s Twitter account in honor of #WorldRefugeeDay. https://t.co/jh9m3wCgpH — PolitiTweet.org

It is in that spirit that we must continue on the path to liberty, justice, and equity for all. Working together, we can build a just and equitable Oregon — a place where everyone is included and at home, and where we all have the opportunity to be safe and thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

Think of the solidarity displayed in that letter. Think of the power of that act. Think of the way it points to the profound capacity that exists within each and every one of us to make this world a more welcoming place for one another. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

In 1978, Black and African American community leaders published a letter calling upon President Carter & Congress to welcome refugees from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia into the US. This became the first formal resettlement of refugees to the United States. https://t.co/NhO77UZb0k. — PolitiTweet.org

As we observe the Juneteenth state holiday today, it also happens to be #WorldRefugeeDay — a time to honor refugees around the globe. It is significant for several communities that this year we celebrate both of these holidays on the same day. — PolitiTweet.org

Starting this week, children as young as 6 months are eligible for COVID-19 vaccines. This is the moment so many families have been waiting for. After review by leading doctors and health experts, parents can be confident the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are safe & effective. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

I encourage all of you to take time to learn about the history of Juneteenth and celebrate today. We must continue working together to build a just, equitable Oregon for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Today we celebrate #Juneteenth2022 to commemorate the freedom of Black Americans and to recognize the end of slavery in the United States. This is an important step towards healing and justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Kate Brown @OregonGovBrown

Last year I signed into law HB 2168, making Juneteenth an official state holiday in Oregon starting in 2022. Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when a group of enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally learned that they were free from slavery. — PolitiTweet.org

Pride is a time to reaffirm our commitment to justice and equal rights for the entire LGBTQ+ community. Pride is a reminder of the resilience, healing, and strength we find in community, in chosen family, and in shared celebration. Happy #Pride, Oregon! https://t.co/uq7hAZeVJ4 — PolitiTweet.org
