On September 18, over a thousand concerned citizens gathered at the Oregon State Capitol to protest Governor Kate Brown’s Covid vaccine mandates. Governor Brown has recently mandated Covid vaccinations for healthcare workers, K-12 school teachers and staff, and executive branch state employees.

The “Freedom From Vaccine Mandates Rally” was organized by America First Oregonians and Oregonians For America. Luke Yamaguchi, a functional nutritionist in Albany, spoke on behalf of Oregonians For Medical Freedom who sponsored the event. He opined: “It should go without saying that mandated medicine has no place in a free country.”
Protestors at the event seemed to encompass a wide-range of demographics with medical professionals, educators, pastors, emergency service workers and state employees in attendance.










Healthcare workers, in a sign of resignation, left their shoes in front of the chainlink fence blocking the entrance of the Capitol Building.
After two-hours of speeches, protestors marched around the Oregon State Capitol Building in a peaceful demonstration calling for medical freedom.
Thankyou & God Bless you for taking a stand. It should be a CHOICE No to mandates!
Thanks for your great speech today at the rally!
Amazing day. Thank you for an inspiring speech and the work you do.
