What We Do
• We engage with elected officials at all levels, insisting they govern for the people, with honesty and transparency, by the rule of law.
• We advocate for compassionate treatment and equal rights for ALL people.
• We work to educate the public about executive orders, legislation, and policies which do not benefit the people, and may even harm them.
• We use our numbers to send more significant messages to our elected officials via phone, e-mail, and post.
• We support engaged local businesses and organizations over national corporations operating solely on profit motivations.
• We endorse and support candidates and legislation that support our ideals.
• We organize and attend rallies, making it clear to all observers we will not be silent about the crimes and injustices committed by the current government of our beloved United States of America.
What We've Done
June 14, 2025 – No Kings Protest
We co-sponsored the Hands Off! rally, with Lincoln County Democrats, in Newport. By some estimates, over 1000 people lined the streets near Newport City Hall, protesting the reckless and dangerous actions of the Trump administration.
Even though IW had only recently formed, 20 members attended this town hall. We introduced ourselves to our elected officials, and let them know we are here and involved.
Originally formed in 2017, in response to Trump’s first term, the chapter had been on hiatus. Faced with Trump’s second election, the group quickly refomed, and immediately began organizing.
