  • BIPOC Caucus Condemns Passage of Texas Abortion
    PRESS RELEASE OREGON HOUSE DEMOCRATS For Immediate Release For more information, Contact: Sep. 2, 2021 Hannah Kurowski: [email protected] CORRECTION: BIPOC Caucus Condemns Passage of SB 8, Calls for Protection of Abortion as Essential Health Care CORRECTION The following members of the BIPOC Caucus sign onto this statement: • Senators: Lew Frederick, Kayse Jama, James Manning • Representatives: Teresa Alonso Leon, Wlnsvey Campos, Andrea Valderrama, Mark Meek, Khanh Pham, Ricki Ruiz, Andrea Salinas, Tawna Sanchez SALEM, OR -- The Legislative Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Caucus released the following statement after the Texas Governor signed into law Senate Bill 8 (SB 8) to ban abortions after six weeks, as well as encourages private citizens to act as bounty hunters: “Roe vs Wade enshrined reproductive health care as a constitutionally protected right. In Oregon, we have a long history of protecting reproductive rights and removing barriers to accessing abortion because we know abortion is healthcare. "If SB 8 remains in effect without intervention from courts, any abortion providers who remain operational are facing a crushing wave of lawsuits that they will likely be unable to litigate. This back-door ban presents harm to people facing severe restrictions on important health care protections. "BIPOC communities are most often forced to resort to unsafe abortions due to reproductive healthcare restrictions, a symptom of institutionalized white supremacy and patriarchy. SB 8 once again disproportionately takes away our constitutional right to make decisions about our own bodies as a worst case scenario, and forces those with the resources to travel across state lines for healthcare access as a best case scenario.

In addition to the standard policy and budget committees, the Oregon House of Representatives will have new committees in the upcoming session to address timely issues, including wildfire recovery, redistricting, institutional reform of the Legislature, as well as subcommittees focusing on COVID-19 response, equitable policing and the return of a policy committee dedicated to early childhood issues. “Oregonians are facing crises that demand urgent action. The House is ready to lead on the issues that matter most in people’s lives right now. We also need to create the space to have a focused conversation about long-term, transformational changes to modernize the people’s legislature,” Speaker Kotek said. “I’m grateful for the diverse perspectives that my colleagues will bring as we all work together to help Oregonians navigate the big challenges that lie ahead.” Speaker Kotek communicated directly with every returning and new member of the Oregon House of Representatives before deciding on committee assignments, taking the time to weigh and discuss their priorities, interests and notable experience. She also consulted with both caucus leaders before finalizing the assignments. The House will convene on Monday, January 11 to swear in members.

  • 2019 ENVIRONMENTAL SCORECARD for the OREGON LEGISLATURE
    2019 ENVIRONMENTAL SCORECARD for the OREGON LEGISLATURE incomplete Climate activists on the day that House Bill 2020, the Clean Energy Jobs bill, was traded away. OREGON LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS DINA LE ROUX, DIGITAL DIRECTOR AT RENEW OREGON CLIMATE CHAMPIONS OF THE YEAR: OUR VOLUNTEERS, ESPECIALLY OUR YOUTH VOLUNTEERS WHILE THE SENATE REPUBLICANS MADE HEADLINES FOR UPENDING OUR DEMOCRACY and Senate Democratic leadership gave in to their demands, young climate activists gave them all a lesson on what it means to have backbone. At the Capitol, young people showed up, as they had been doing for months and even years. In the Senate Gallery, on the Capitol Steps, outside the Senate offices, the young people were fighting for their future. They sang protest songs and, one at a time, shared why they were there. “Because all of our lives are threatened,” Summer Dean, a 22-year old youth activist said, “and they’re trading that for political gain. And it’s not worth it.” It’s not just about protecting Their future lies in the hands of today’s decision makers, and they refuse to sit idly “ by. Young Oregonians are not only the most vocal supporters of climate action, but our animals and our they are the most deserving of being heard. “It’s not just about protecting our animals and our environment, it’s about us,” said environment; it’s about us. Summer, just hours after Senate President Peter Courtney proclaimed the Clean — Youth Climate Activist Summer Dean ” Energy Jobs bill dead in the Senate. Oregonians deserve elected officials who fight for us; who choose our future over corporate quarterly profits.

  • Today We Are Unified in Calling on Residents and Visitors to Our
    Today we are unified in calling on residents and visitors to our respective communities to refrain from violence in the exercise of our First Amendment rights to free speech and to peaceably assemble. Black Lives Matter. Violence has no place in civic engagement and protest. Throughout 2020, and in too many years prior, we have born witness to instances of racial injustice, police brutality and the rise of white supremacist rhetoric throughout our country, and right here at home. Even now we are experiencing unhelpful and inflammatory comments and acts, from many quarters, including the highest office in the land. The overwhelming majority of our community who have risen to protest for social justice and against racial inequities have done so peacefully, in keeping with public health guidelines and within the bounds protected by our state and federal constitutions. Unfortunately, there are some individuals who have chosen violence over peaceful protest, violence towards other protestors, violence towards police officers and even an instance of deadly violence experienced recently in downtown Portland. While we recognize the outrage toward racial injustice is the foundation for the past 100+ days of protest, we call on everyone in our community seeking to confront racial injustice and to demand police accountability to forgo the path of violence. We invite every member of our respective communities to continue to engage with our governments, to hold us accountable and to contribute to and facilitate a transformation away from racist systems and towards a more equitable, just community. Similarly, we ask those who may want to demonstrate to do so peacefully and safely.

    OREGON STATE LEGISLATURE July 23, 2020 The Honorable William Barr Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice Washington, D.C. 20530 The Honorable Chad Wolf Acting Secretary Department of Homeland Security Washington, D.C. 20528 Dear Sirs, As representatives from communities across the State of Oregon, we are writing to request that you immediately remove federal personnel from the streets of Portland unless authorized by the city’s elected officials. We are aligned with members of our federal delegation, including Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden and Congress members Suzanne Bonamici and Earl Blumenauer, Governor Kate Brown, our Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, and Portland’s mayor, Ted Wheeler, in our shared assessment that the uninvited presence of federal agents is an abuse of power. Upon assuming office, we each took a vow to defend the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Oregon. We take that responsibility to heart. Confronted with clear evidence that federal agents are engaging in unconstitutional activities resulting in significant harm to individuals and our community as a whole, we are obligated to respond. We refuse to allow our streets to be a playground for political theatrics intended to deflect attention from the president’s failure to control a deadly pandemic. We will not stand by while violent actions exacerbate conditions on our streets. Accordingly, we demand the immediate withdrawal of federal operatives from the City of Portland. Regards, Representative Pam Marsh, HD 05 Representative Alissa Keny-Guyer, HD 46 Capitol Address: 900 Court St NE, Salem, OR 97301 Contact: Rep Pam Marsh, Phone: (503) 986-1405, [email protected] Speaker Tina Kotek, HD 44 Senate Majority Leader Rob Wagner, SD 19 House Majority Leader Barbara Smith Senator Elizabeth Steiner Hayward MD, SD 17 Warner, HD 45 Representative Dan Rayfield, HD 16 Senator Lew Frederick, SD 22 Representative Tawna Sanchez, HD 43 Senator James I.
