Coastal Progressives

Roman"">As part of the programs planned locally for International Peace Week, the Immigration Information Response Team of Coastal Progressives is hosting a screening and public discussion of a new PBS documentary, Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness, at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, SW 9^th and Hurbert in Newport, on Tuesday, September 20 at 7 p.m.

Lincoln County will welcome Gold Star Mother Cindy Sheehan to Newport on Monday, August 22, accompanied by Oregon's Squadron 13 Veterans for  Justice with their Peace and Justice  bus. Their Newport visit is part of a “Revolutionary Communities Road Trip,” touring the west coast with stops through Oregon and California to showcase and film community activism at the grassroots level. 

Coastal Progressives’ Immigration Information Response Team will meet on Tuesday, August 9, at 1 p.m. in the Centro de Ayuda office, 410 SW Hurbert, in Newport. The agenda will include planning for the Cindy Sheehan tour with Veterans for Peace and Justice, which will be stopping in Newport on Monday, August 22. We will also be discussing a possible alliance with Oceana in Lincoln City.
        Please join us in our efforts to make and keep Lincoln County a welcoming community for all its residents. And take a look at the display window in the Newport Public Library, which features through the month of August some of our efforts, along with those of our allied organizations.
