Bill > HCR7

This concurrent resolution affirms Oregon's longstanding commitment to protecting refugee and immigrant rights by declaring a state policy that embraces diversity, compassion, and human rights. The resolution emphasizes Oregon's historical appreciation for refugees who have arrived from regions experiencing economic, political, and religious turmoil, and recognizes the state's foundational belief that its success is built upon the contributions of both native-born residents and those who choose to make Oregon their new home. Specifically, the legislative assembly declares that Oregon sees itself as a caretaker of democracy and a defender of human rights, committed to providing shelter and protection to individuals seeking refuge from oppression, irrespective of personal characteristics such as gender, race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. The resolution underscores the state's pride in its diverse population and its ongoing dedication to supporting immigrants, including those who have served in the military to defend principles of freedom, justice, and liberty.
