I stand behind Oregon’s 1987 sanctuary law that keeps local law enforcement focused on community safety, not immigration operations. Our community is made stronger when every resident, regardless of immigration status, country of origin, language, or documentation, feels safe seeking help and reporting crime. The federal government should work on a bipartisan solution for immigration reform and stop these horrific acts of trauma and violence against our neighbors, friends and co-workers. What is happening now is hurting families and children. As a community we need to be aware and have the PIRC number available to call. If you see ICE operating in Oregon, report them to trusted community partners, such as the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition: 1-888-622-1510.

Act. *HSD Career and College Pathways Fall Steering Committee Meeting* This week was Hillsboro School District’s Career and College Pathways Fall Steering Committee Meeting. The committee visited Poynter and Evergreen Middle Schools to see successes and challenges firsthand. At Poynter, we listened to a student panel talk about the challenges they see. The program does great work giving students hands-on experience and pathway opportunities that can ignite their interest in future careers.

The panel shared the exciting work of FAST Oregon [ https://partner.oregonstate.edu/semiconductors/fast ] and details of the recently awarded federal grant of up to $160 million. FAST Oregon is a partnership that brings together workforce, technology, universities and community colleges, K-12 education, and the many manufacturing, semiconductor, and biomedical businesses across Oregon. These are exciting times for innovation and workforce development, and it’s critical that the state continues to support this work, or we risk losing out on federal dollars.

The weather was great and spirits were high as runners gave their time and energy to benefit Hillsboro schools.

Collage ________________________________________________________________________ *Edwards Center Luncheon* A couple of weeks ago, I attended the Edwards Center Luncheon to support the organization’s work helping adults with developmental disabilities live and thrive in Oregon through employment, community, and residential services. With the recent federal court ruling on Section 504, it is more important than ever to uplift organizations like the Edwards Center and the work they do.

Collage ________________________________________________________________________ *Intern Corner* *Education Equity* As an intern for Senator Sollman, I have had the wonderful opportunity to contribute to legislative efforts that expand access to STEM education and career for youth at various levels. Continuing on my commitment to education equity, I spent the past couple of weeks taking meaningful steps toward advancing this cause across Oregon. This past weekend, I was honored to be part of Girls Robotics Camp hosted by the Oregon Robotics Tournament & Outreach Program (ORTOP) alongside my team, RevAmped Robotics. As a senior Co-Captain of my team, I worked directly with girls from 5th–8th grade to introduce them to robotics using FLL robot kits. I also shared my own experiences in FTC Robotics and demonstrated our robot, using my journey to show students the opportunities available to them as they continue through high school. I especially enjoyed helping the girls see robotics as something they could pursue long-term, rather than a one-time activity. With the GirlsGen FRC competition taking place alongside the camp, students were able to witness firsthand what the next level of robotics could look like for them. They also had the opportunity to hear from two keynote speakers working and innovating in STEM, giving them additional perspectives on the possibilities within these fields. I also had the opportunity to represent RevAmped Robotics at the Self Enhancement Inc. Education Co-Op Summit: Building for Impact. This event brought together local organizations committed to advancing educational opportunities, supporting Portland’s youth and families, and closing learning gaps in our community. Partnering with Project LEDO, we demonstrated the transformative potential of STEM and robotics education through hands-on activities. Students engaged in driving our FTC robot, creating 3D scans of real-world objects, and programming and testing FLL robots. I hope to continue participating and hosting events that empower underrepresented youth and encourage others to create opportunities that make STEM more accessible, inclusive, and representative of the communities we are a part of! ~Maanya S.
