Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition

About PIRC
Founded in 2006, the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition’s (PIRC) mission is to bring an end to all unjust detentions and deportations of our immigrant community members in Oregon. PIRC envisions an America truly free from unjust deportation and detention, where all people, especially migrant workers, are neither exploited for their labor nor in fear of deportation, but instead have access to the resources they need to thrive.

We envision a time when all of Oregon’s community members, regardless of where they came from or when, are valued, safe, and treated equally under the law.
