Malheur Refuge Occupation Ends Peacefully
February 11, 2016
As the last four occupiers turn themselves in to police, Service Director Dan Ashe expresses his relief and his gratitude to Service staff, particularly those from the refuge and surrounding area, for their exemplary conduct during this difficult and stressful time. “I share your relief and joy that the occupation is over. It will take some time to repair the damage – both physical and psychological – that this occupation has left in its wake. But we will repair it! And like all adversity, squarely faced, along with our friends, neighbors and partners, we will emerge stronger than ever,” he says.
