SUMMARY:October Green Drinks: Latino Heritage Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Sep 15 – Oct 15\, 2025 is Hispanic Heritage Month\, and in honor of the Latino Community in Central Oregon\, TEC is using its platform to co-host this community event\, focusing on the Latino community\, art\, food\, dance\, small businesses\, hair and beauty\, culture\, and music. This event is not a fundraiser for TEC; rather\, it’s about standing in solidarity with those in our community who experience systemic harm\,  and displacement. We aim to find strength together through joy\, tradition\, healing\, and mutual aid. All donations raised will directly support local efforts\, including food assistance\, emergency needs\, and direct help for families. We will coordinate with the Latino Community Association and Immigration Counseling services to determine where to donate funds. 100% of proceeds will be donated to LCA to support immigrant families. \nThe event will feature local food\, art\, music\, dance\, and vendors\, all centered around Latino culture. It’s an opportunity to celebrate together and raise funds for local migrant and immigrant families facing hardship. \nThis will be a free public event\, open to everyone\, with free participation for Latino vendors\, performers\, and creatives. While suggested donations at the door are welcome\, they are not required.

SUMMARY:NO KINGS Bend Oregon
DESCRIPTION:About this event\nSaturday\, October 18 @ 2 – 5pm PDT\n\n\n\nDrake Park\n\n\n\n\n\n\n777 NW Riverside Blvd\n\nSAVE THE DATE AND STAND BY FOR MORE DETAILS AS WE PLAN THIS DAY OF ACTION AND RESISTANCE! (Note: Location and time subject to change) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn America\, we don’t put up with would-be kings. \nOur peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets\, carried by millions in chants and on posters\, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares\, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together. \nThe president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America\, we don’t have kings\, and we won’t back down against chaos\, corruption\, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us. \nA core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind\, including those legally permitted\, should not be brought to events.
