Citing fundraising troubles, staff turnover and inability to finalize a contract with the labor union which represents their staff, the left-wing organization Causa which has focused on supporting illegal aliens and their causes, will dissolve as an organization effective July 31 after 27 years. According to a post on their website, their financial status was "not sustainable for the organization."

Adriana Miranda, former staffer for former State Representative Diego Hernandez, was recently the Executive Director of Causa

According to the group's website, "Causa’s board members are proud to support labor unions and to be a nonprofit with union staff members, and voluntarily recognized the union two years ago. But unfortunately, union leadership has been unwilling to enter mediation or put a fair contract offer to a vote, focusing instead on a damaging public pressure campaign. Our most recent attempt to finalize a contract has gone without a response from the union for nearly 8 weeks."

Though the website boasted that the group "won a long fought victory, the culmination of over 10 years of struggle to secure Driver’s Licenses for all undocumented communities in Oregon," they were unable to do that with popular support, losing the fight to issue drivers licenses to illegal aliens in 2014. They were later successful in a Democrat-dominated legislature.

In 2017, Causa supported the work to pass 17 sanctuary city resolutions to restrict local police from collaborating with ICE, tying the hands of local police departments who are now unable to hand over criminal illegal aliens to federal authorities. During the pandemic, Causa co-led the effort to secure relief funds for illegal aliens in Oregon who were excluded from unemployment benefits.
