Sanctuary City

Want to End the War?

Make Portland a Sanctuary for GI Resisters!

We are working to create a sanctuary city for members of the US military who are exercising their rights to object to an illegal war. The PDX Peace coalition is asking Portland City Council to adopt an ordinance instructing city police to not act on federal absent without leave (AWOL) orders. We are developing resources to assist soldiers and veterans in the Portland area.

For more information check out the Sanctuary City FAQ.
