University joins ‘I’m glad you are my neighbor’ awareness campaign

Friday, January 13th, 2017

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.
