🚨CALL TO ACTION: During the 2024 legislative session which ended last Thursday, the ACLU of OR community fought hard for real solutions — let’s thank the legislators who responded to community with our action alert: action.aclu.org/send-message/t… #orleg #orpol
🗣️ Despite Republican attempts to stall, SB 1583 was steps away from being sent to the Gov’s desk to be signed into law — but House leadership failed to pass the bill and closed the legislative session early. 🔗 Read our full press release: bit.ly/49Gnr9a #orleg #orpol
The 2024 legislative session may be over for #orleg, but the nightmare is just beginning for Oregonians. People struggling with addiction, including a disproportionate number of Black and brown, low-income, and rural Oregonians, will soon end up in jail. #orpol #NOtoHB4002
Our ED @Kassandra_Fred responds to Oregon's return to failed drug war policies. Her vision? We actually ensure people get the resources that they need to thrive. Decriminalization of all drugs is a part of that vision - one part of a tapestry of interventions communities need.
👀 Multiple articles and experts have emphasized the racial disparities, surge of arrests, and overall ineffectiveness that will result from recriminalizing drug addiction. We won’t say “We told you so…” You can see the proof for yourself at aclu-or.org/en/news/we-pre… #orleg #orpol
🚨The House scheduled a public hearing, but now we need a work session to move the bill forward. Session ends in less than ONE WEEK — tell lawmakers to get SB 1583A passed ASAP! 📚 action.aclu.org/send-message/s…

At a time when Oregonians are demanding more treatment services and housing, HB 4002 provides jail beds. That's not a solution. That's criminalization. Thank you, Sen. @Manning_SOS for saying #NOtoHB4002 and supporting real solutions to the addiction crisis. #orpol #orleg

The 2024 legislative session may be over for #orleg, but the nightmare is just beginning for Oregonians. People struggling with addiction, including a disproportionate number of Black and brown, low-income, and rural Oregonians, will soon end up in jail. #orpol #NOtoHB4002
Our ED @Kassandra_Fred responds to Oregon's return to failed drug war policies. Her vision? We actually ensure people get the resources that they need to thrive. Decriminalization of all drugs is a part of that vision - one part of a tapestry of interventions communities need.
The relationship between police and lawmakers should be really concerning.
Jessica Maravilla with @ACLU_OR discusses how recriminalizing addiction (HB 4002) will result in disparate policing of Black and brown communities and individuals with no accountability measures in place. #orpol #orleg loom.com/share/a97d4daa…
Tonight we talked with policy experts from @ACLU_OR @ImagineBlack_ @UniteOregon @OregonDefense about the failure of reverting back to criminalizing small possession of drugs. Check out the full recording: fb.watch/qx5v-NbpjB/
The REIS for HB 4002-24 confirms what Black & brown Oregonians told #orleg over & over: criminalization disproportionately harms Black & brown people, including a predicted 32.8% higher conviction rate for Black Oregonians than would be expected considering population differences
Oregonians expected the legislative committee created to tackle the addiction crisis to do just that. Instead, lawmakers appear poised to criminalize addiction, choosing jail beds over treatment, incarceration over recovery, and fear-mongering over solutions. #orleg #NOtoHB4002
We're making sure lawmakers see us, even if they won't listen to us. #NOtoHB4002 #orpol #orleg
"1,173 is the number of clients our firm has. 1 is the number of social workers we have available...you cannot arrest and prosecute your way out of addiction." – Lee Wachocki, Public Defender #orpol #orleg #NOtoHB4002
"Don't abandon our racial justice values. Don't abandon a public health approach to addiction. This is a crisis decades in the making...there's not room for sufficient public input [during a one month long short session]." – Nuhamin Eiden, @UniteOregon #orleg #orpol #NOtoHB4002
“HB 4002 will only deepen the cycle of despair, and people will die because of this bill.” #orpol #orleg #NOtoHB4002
"I'm worried you [#orleg] don't even know the details of the current probation system...[under HB 4002] Oregonians in one county are going to get treated totally different from Oregonians in another county." – Chris O'Connor #orpol #NOtoHB4002
"The status quo is not working because there aren't enough treatment beds available." – Fumiaki Tosu #orpol #orleg #NOtoHB4002
"110 as a policy is not a failure. The failure lies with state leadership." – Tera Hurst, Executive Director, HJRA #orpol #orleg #NOtoHB4002
"This bill is going to kill people, but they'll die out of sight and out of mind." Jesse Merrithew #orpol #orleg #NOtoHB4002
Yvonne Garcia, @ACLU_OR: "Let's move towards what the research and experts tell us is needed: supportive housing, access to readily available treatment, non-police emergency response teams, and access to healthcare." #ORpol #ORleg #NOtoHB4002
Lucy Pierce, student: "criminalization is not a real solution to addiction." Vote No on HB 4002. #orpol #orleg #NOonHB4002
