JOIN OREGON’S UNIONS TO RALLY FOR A STATE BUDGET THAT REFLECTS OUR VALUES!

At a time when education is under attack at the federal level and the needs of billionaires are being prioritized over students, we are asking that Oregon legislators invest in our communities to the greatest extent possible and help build our future. 

Oregonians depend on state services to make ends meet, to educate our children, to maintain affordable and quality healthcare, and so much more. With uncertainty at the federal level, the time is NOW to act and ensure that we continue to fund important services in our state.
