About the Ways & Means Roadshow

Every two years, the Ways & Means Committee of the Oregon legislature hits the road and travels across Oregon to hear directly from voters about what should be funded. 

These legislators are the deciders of Oregon's budget so this is OUR BEST opportunity to make our voices heard and demand more funding for k-12 schools and community colleges. Each stop will have the opportunity for folks to testify. 

Even if you would NOT like to testify, showing up in your local or OEA swag so that we can have a visible presence will make a huge impact. 

Please complete our form to RSVP below, and if you have any questions, please reach out to us!
