Protecting Our Immigrant Neighbors
Connecting Our Communities
Building a Better Beaverton
Who is Evelyn Kocher?
Evelyn is a lifelong Oregonian, raised in Washington County and in Beaverton, and is a proud alumna of Beaverton High School and Oregon State University. She is a queer trans woman, a first-generation immigrant, and a experienced community member and activist, having worked with the Oregon Student Association and Latino Network and served on multiple transit boards in the City of Beaverton as well as on the boards of the ACLU of Oregon, Basic Rights Oregon PAC, Oregon Voice, and the Westside Queer Resource Center.
We need a homegrown and experienced champion on City Council to meet the moment.
Amid unprecedented federal aggression against immigrants and people of color of all statuses and backgrounds, we need a fierce advocate in City Council to call things as they are.
Evelyn has worked her entire career in organizing efforts to protect immigrant communities, working to keep families together, advocating for those who have been taken without due process by immigration officers, educating the public on their constitutional rights, and seeking to codify these rights in local ordinances.
Her experience in this work is longstanding and far-reaching, having advocated in the Oregon State Capitol for students, acted as the campaign manager for Portland City Councilor Angelita Morillo, and worked to pass landmark legislation on LGBTQ+ rights.
