Oregon Community Asylum Network at the County Commissioners Meeting

  • Lane County Public Service Building, Harris Hall 125 E 8th Ave Eugene, OR 97401 (map)

Oregon Community Asylum Network (OCAN) is asking people to attend the Lane County Board of Commissioners public comment session wearing a black or dark top and with a paper heart pinned to it to show support for immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community. The presence is intended to encourage the Board to issue a statement that the county sheriff will abide by Oregon’s sanctuary laws and that the county health department will continue to provide prescribed services, including gender-affirming treatments, to patients.
