The Pollinate team stands in solidarity with all Black lives in Newberg/Dundee/Yamhill County and we strongly affirm that Black Lives Matter. Over the past month, White nationalism has boiled to the surface in our community in a number of disturbing ways. This is a time for everyone in our community to rise up together, firmly rejecting this fear and division. Please help spread the word that we are donating FREE BLM flags to any educator, school district employee, business, church, or farm in Newberg/Dundee who wants to show love and solidarity with our Black children, our Black families, our Black friends, our Black neighbors, and our Black community members. We also encourage our community to consider displaying a flag at home. They are available for purchase at our downtown Newberg shop. We loudly echo the words of the Oregon Dept. of Education directed to the @newbergschooldistrict (school board) that “student identities are not inherently political or controversial” and we strongly “encourage district staff to celebrate and stand in solidarity with students through the use of signs, flags, placards, and symbols, and affirm in words, policy, and action that Every Student Belongs and is welcome, appreciated, and ensured an equitable access to a high quality education in the Newberg Public Schools…” 🖤

Jeremi @jeremicarroll has stocked our downtown Newberg shop with several of his seasonal dried floral wreaths. All year long we tuck away stems from our Dundee Hills garden, then create everlasting designs that keep the beauty going all year long. ✨

An amazing group of student and educator allies got together to raise money to purchase a Back to School arrangement from us for the staff of the main offices and counseling offices of every school in the @newbergschooldistrict 🤩 This is what community is all about. This is an example that children can look up to and learn from. Support each other. Love each other. Listen to each other. While it is a bummer that some adults don’t seem to have that capacity, it just means the rest of us need to make sure to continue leading the generations to come with love, and validation. Creating space for love requires us all to look within deep into ourselves to discover where we are not showing love because of our own prejudices. And let’s teach the next generation about the prejudices of our society so that those prejudices can continue to fall away. Liberty for all. ❤️

Last night the @newbergschooldistrict school board voted 4-3 to keep their ban on BLM/Pride symbols despite the pending lawsuits. The outside, far right-wing attorney they illegally hired has told them they can rewrite it to be legal. Lawsuits seem likely to move forward. The board chair, Dave Brown, also assigned three of these four members to the Equity Policy Committee. The one and only board member of color was not allowed to be on the Equity Policy Committee. It seems that our community school district has been taken over by some radical folks with large political ambitions. Vice-Chair Brian Shannon is already doing the conservative talk radio circuit, making a political name for himself on the back of children’s mental and physical health. And it’s not just minority children these four board members are using for their personal political gain, but also the children of the @newbergdundeepd and the @ycsooregon who are being scapegoated as a reason for the board members actions. It also effects every heterosexual, cisgender, white child who is an ally or friend to a minority child or a child of a law enforcement officer. Adults dividing children and our community for personal political gain. Yikes. Pretty serious stuff that demands immediate attention from every decent adult in our community. This is not about adults debating Republican vs Democrat or liberal vs conservative. This is about the mental and physical health of the children in Newberg and Dundee. Please use your voice. Consider joining us by emailing the school board, superintendent, city government, local law enforcement, county commissioners, state leadership, and other community leaders with your thoughts and concerns. Let’s stand up for all the kids in Newberg/Dundee and tell these adults to get to work for the kids instead of themselves. Be bold and stay strong Newberg/Dundee. We’re in this together. ❤️
