stood up against hate and injustice. Rick, Taliesin, and Micah make us 
proud to be Oregonians. This resolution is to honor these heroes, help 
our community heal, and allow for introspection and broader discussion. 
As we begin the process of healing, we must all continue to protect one 
another, help one another, and work for peace and justice. I urge the 
House to pass this resolution.
