Meet the new Oasis. 🌈 Our logo is still a bird, but it is also an outstretched hand, offering safety, resources and community. 🫂 Queerness is still at the forefront. Not only in color, but in mission, language, and the lives we stand beside. Welcome to the next chapter. 🌿

Oasis Legal Services @oasislegalservices.bsky.social · 02/04/2026
Our original logo was lovingly created as a fictional bird, inspired by a dove, a phoenix, and even a hummingbird. The Oasis bird represents migration. Freedom of flight. Rebirth. We’re keeping that spirit. But as Oasis grows, so does the story we tell.

Oasis is growing. As our programs expand and our advocacy deepens, we’ve invested in a more comprehensive brand identity that reflects who we are today and where we’re going. This is more than a logo refresh. It’s how our values, growth, and impact are expressed. Stay with us this week. 🌿

Navigating one of the most complex legal systems in the world without a lawyer is NOT due process. Having a lawyer makes someone 5x more likely to win their case. AB 2600 introduced by @asmmiabonta.bsky.social would expand access to legal representation for people facing deportation in California.

Woah. @asmmiabonta.bsky.social just introduced AB 2600, and it's huge! This bill would better guarantee legal representation to people facing deportation in California, because "represent yourself in one of the most complex legal systems in the world" is not due process.
