The Oregon Legislature is in Session - We Need Your Help!
Legislative session began: Jan. 21, 2025.
Legislative session end: Approximately July 1st, 2025
Are you willing to fight for Oregon? One of the easiest ways you can do this is by providing (written, in-person or virtual) testimony in support of good bills and/or in opposition to bad bills. With Republicans being a super-minority again, our Republican legislators need as much help from us as they can get. Let's BLAST our Democrat legislators with what we think of their unreasonable and/or extreme policies that are hurting Oregonians! The more we can flood the legislators with hopefully THOUSANDS of testimonies, the more influence we have, as the legislators do strongly consider the amount of submitted testimonies they receive that are FOR vs. AGAINST bills.
To find out about important bills and talking points you can include in your testimony, go to:
https://oregoncitizenslobby.org/action-alerts/
We have 48 hours from the hearing start to submit written testimony!
