TALC’s first victory!
In April 2025, the Lane County Board of Commissioners issued a statement reaffirming our county’s commitment to upholding the Oregon Sanctuary Promise Act and supporting transgender community members. They additionally included the proposed policy amendment we advocated for, which commits Lane County to protecting the rights of transgender people and immigrants by updating its existing policies and creating new ones.
It’s inappropriate to say “we couldn’t have done it without you” because there is no “we” and no “you.” There is only us, fighting for each other. We, together, have won a victory for the civil rights of every person who lives in Lane County. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, whether through speaking, cheering, showing up, amplifying, writing, and all the other types of support that made this possible. 🏳️⚧️🦋💕
