United For Oregon March—June 7!
On May 18, Oregon lawmakers released a proposed budget that contains a whopping $2 billion in cuts to education, human services, and public safety.
Among the hardest hit are seniors and people with disabilities who depend on in-home care, working families who depend on childcare to keep their jobs, low-income families just struggling to make ends meet, and the folks who work hard to provide these services.
Legislators need to hear from you that in these tough economic times, it’s unfair and irresponsible to balance the budget on the backs of the people who are already hurting from this fiscal crisis. It’s time for corporations and wealthy Oregonians to pay their fair share.
Let’s make our voices heard and demand better!
Join a coalition of organizations on Sunday, June 7 for a march and rally in Downtown Portland to voice support for these vital services and fair treatment for the workers who provide them.
