📰 News we're reading
• 3 months, no contract SBWU picket lines (thestand.org) — Starbucks Workers United notes there are active barista picket lines in both Portland and Beaverton, tying local actions to a wider national strike over union contracts. The broader piece rounds up labor and political news, but Beaverton’s mention signals nearby solidarity actions that local residents may see or join. It situates these pickets within a larger struggle between unions and major corporations. 
• Hillsboro High students walk out Friday to protest ICE enforcement (forestgrovenewstimes.com) — Beaverton is among several Washington County cities seeing some of the highest reported ICE detentions in Oregon, alongside Hillsboro and Forest Grove. After earlier student walkouts in Forest Grove and Beaverton, Hillsboro High students walked out Friday, marching from campus to Shute Park and the Hillsboro Civic Center to protest immigration enforcement they say is harming local Latino families.
