Working Oregonians Showed Up
This morning, thousands of working Oregonians came from all corners of this state, big and small towns, to say “enough is enough”. Estimates put the number of farm equipment and trucks at around 2,000.
These are the iconic original industries that built Oregon. It feels like a sleeping giant has been awakened. Nobody anticipated the grassroots power that has been activated. This is of the people. This is the working man and woman seeing their livelihoods on the line. There is power in their words.
