The Daily Bruin

Thank you all for your overwhelming response to the “I’m glad you are my neighbor” campaign. We’ve sold 165 of the first 200 T-shirts printed. We ordered 100 more shirts to ensure we have some of each size to offer. So, if you haven’t had a chance to place your order, there’s still time. You can order here. Also, there are plenty of signs left.

Shirts ordered by Monday, Jan. 16, are available at the Roberts Center for pick-up this afternoon. We are processing shirt and sign requests as quickly as possible between classes. Because of the great response, shirt orders will be available for pick-up at the Roberts Center front desk daily (not just on Monday afternoons as originally communicated).

Hope to see you at the “I’m glad you are my neighbor” Vigil & Day of Action this Sunday, Jan. 22. The vigil starts at 2 p.m. at Newberg Friends Church (307 S. College St.). The march begins at 3:30 p.m. in Francis Square at the corner of East First and North College streets.

Shalom friends,
– Tricia Hornback (phornback@georgefox.edu)

The university’s Center for Peace and Justice, Newberg Peace Coalition, Newberg Rotary, Newberg Friends Church, North Valley Friends Church and Peace Village Newberg are working together on an inclusion campaign for the new year. This simple awareness campaign focuses on the phrase “I’m glad you are my neighbor” as a way to build community; encourage unity, equality and civility; and to affirm the value placed on all people regardless of their racial, social or economic status.

The campaign will include an “I’m glad you are my neighbor” event on Sunday, Jan. 22, T-shirts, signs in business windows and yard signs displayed as widely as possible in and around Newberg.

T-Shirt Info
Each T-shirt will have the message “I’m glad you are my neighbor” written in Chinese, English, Spanish, Arabic and Russian on the front. The back of the shirt will include a list of organizations that support this effort. You can see/order the T-shirts here.

In an effort to build and strengthen relationships between people, the T-shirts are being offered as a “buy one, give one” opportunity. The price is two shirts for $20, or $10 apiece.

Yard Sign Info
Multilingual “I’m glad you are my neighbor” indoor/outdoor signs will be available around Feb 1. You can see and/or order the signs here. Signs are also being offered as a “Buy one, give one” opportunity. The price is two signs for $10.

Jan. 22: “I’m glad you are my neighbor” ​Vigil Info
This event will provide contemplative space and time to share hopes and fears about the current local, national and international situation. Tables will be staffed by local peace and social justice-related organizations. We hope to create a space where relationships and networks can be born and strengthened, making Newberg a place where we can all know we are welcome, supported and cared for. For more information on the vigil, you can visit the Newberg Peace & Justice Action Group on Facebook.

Urban Outreach is in need of students or staff who are willing to drive personal vehicles on Sundays for our work with HomePDX. This is a ministry in which we build relationship with our friends who live outdoors, and requires a consistent group of drivers who can bring students to downtown Portland each week and join us in this ministry.

The time commitment is from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The more Sundays you are available, the better, but even one Sunday is better than none. If you are certified to drive a personal vehicle or willing to become certified, and would like to join us in this ministry, please contact us at UrbanOutreachGFU@gmail.com.
