Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!
In May, we celebrate and honor the rich history, diversity, and contributions of AANHPI communities. We must also continue to fight against the ongoing targeting of our immigrant and BIPOC neighbors. Here at Basic Rights Oregon, we know that LGBTQ2SIA+ rights are immigrant rights, and we recognize the intersectionality of our identities and our struggle.

Last week, Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Dudley released an ad targeting some of the most vulnerable members of our community, trans kids, to score cheap political points. Watch Basic Rights Oregon's Major Gifts Officer, Mikki Gillette, respond.

The anti-trans ad claims that allowing trans girls to compete in women’s sports causes harm to cis girls. At BRO, we reject this inaccurate and discriminatory rhetoric. In the words of our Executive Director, Kyndall Mason, "Hatred toward trans people is an intentional distraction from the very real threats to our democracy."
