On this day, March 28, 1942, Japanese-American lawyer Minoru Yasui (1916-1986) violated a military curfew in Portland, Oregon, and demanded to be arrested after he was refused enlistment to fight for the US. He was one of the few Japanese Americans who fought laws that directly targeted Japanese Americans or Japanese immigrants following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. In 2015 he was among 17 people awarded the presidential Medal of Freedom.

Also on this day March 28, 1939, the front page of the Eugene Register-Guard blared the headline: "Mighty Oregon Scramble Ohio State to Take Hoop Title of All America," right under a declaration that the Spanish War had ended, of course.

Grassroot Groups Unite to Protect Parental Rights
“Sitting in on a relevant committee meeting is a great way to get your feet wet”

Several grassroots groups have joined forces to inform Oregon lawmakers of the importance of parental rights for their families. The grassroots coalition is called Unite Oregon Now. According to a press release put out by the group, their mission is to help Oregonians engage more fully with the legislative process regarding issues affecting parental rights.

Legislators are gathering in Salem at the capitol building for Legislative Committee Days this week, December 7-9, 2022. They are preparing for the 2023 long legislative session which begins next month -- January 17 through June 25. The committees will be meeting throughout the three days to discuss topics that may lead to legislation in upcoming sessions, hearing updates on previous bill implementations, hearing reports from state agencies and task forces, and keeping current on the subject areas affecting Oregonians.

The Unite Oregon Now coalition will be offering tours of the capitol building each day during Legislative Days -- Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, December 6-8. Tours will begin a couple short blocks away at the Ike Box coffee shop, 299 Cottage Street NE in Salem, and will start at 11am and 1pm each day. Also from 10:30am-2:00pm at the Ike Box, there will be written materials including schedules showing which committee meetings are most likely to interest people looking to protect parental rights. Breanna Jarmer, Executive Director of Oregonians for Medical Freedom explains, “Sitting in on a relevant committee meeting is a great way to get your feet wet if you haven’t engaged at the capitol before. This is also a fabulous opportunity to meet leaders and members of the grassroots organizations who have been fighting for parental rights and more for years.”

The grassroots coalition consists of: Oregonians For Medical Freedom; Children's Health Defense, Oregon Chapter; Moms For Liberty; Oregon Moms Union; and People's Rights.
