Get StartedI’d propose a state-level civil liberties firewall, codified into Oregon law, that would: Prohibit involuntary detention or institutionalization based on identity (gender identity, sexual orientation, or homelessness.) Ensure due process protections are upheld for every resident. Prevent Oregon agencies from cooperating with federal efforts to target marginalized groups. Learn more
We need to arm enforcement across the state with body cameras to ensure they are safe and Oregonians are also. Some law enforcement agencies have fallen behind in securing funding for this type of equipment and Oregon needs to step up and ensure this is no longer at the bottom of its priorities. Learn more

To protect access, Oregon must build on existing initiatives like the COVID Health Coalition, a regional effort among states including Oregon, Washington, and California to coordinate public health, vaccine availability, and access to care.

Oregon should be the first to pilot a program centered around the workers mental health. Employees would be allowed a set number of days annually to take off for mental health. Not only does this benefit productivity, but it also decreases worksite accidents due to fatigue and stressful environments. Learn more
