  • 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.

TROUT DENNIS RICHARDSON DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 LESLIE CUMMINGS, PhD SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 Dear Oregon Voter, This November 6, 2018 General Election marks 20 years since Oregon’s voters chose to conduct all elections through the mail. Citizens placed Measure 60 on the ballot through the initiative process and then overwhelmingly approved it at the 1998 General Election. Over these past 20 years, we have realized the benefits of increased access and ease of access to the ballot, higher voter turnout, and improved election security because of our first in the nation vote-by-mail system. Today, those benefits continue as over 2.7 million Oregonians will receive a ballot in the mail beginning on October 17. I would like to congratulate the voters of Grant County who had the highest voter turnout at the Primary Election this past May.

  • PRESS RELEASE Oregon Legislature's BIPOC Caucus Applauds Efforts to Improve Legislative Diversity and Access
    PRESS RELEASE OREGON LEGISLATIVE BLACK, INDIGENOUS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR (BIPOC) CAUCUS For Immediate Release For More Information, Contact: Jan. 5, 2021 Aaron Fiedler: 503-986-1904 [email protected] Oregon Legislature’s BIPOC Caucus Applauds Efforts to Improve Legislative Diversity and Access Issues call to keep up the work to build a more equitable Capitol SALEM, Ore. – The Oregon Legislature’s Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) Caucus issued the following statement on the announcement of proactive steps to increase diversity in the Oregon Legislature and begin to right historic wrongs: “For the last year, we have worked together to build on the momentum of this historic moment to finally tackle generations of racial injustice and inequality in Oregon. With the help of outside organizations and the voices of countless Oregonians, we have been able to do incredible work to get resources to historically underserved communities, reform our broken criminal justice system, bring accountability to law enforcement across the state and take the first steps in building a more just and equitable Oregon for all. “We do this work on land stolen from indigenous people under a state constitution that, at its founding, specifically banned people of color. We are regularly reminded of this history whenever we sit at our desks on the floors of the Oregon House of Representatives and Oregon Senate, where murals of white settlers and the names of mostly white men hang over our heads. And, we are reminded at the historical lack of BIPOC representation in the halls of the Oregon Capitol with the acknowledgement that this is the most diverse legislature Oregon has ever had.

  • Legislator Letter of Support: Oregon Welcomes Refugees
    August 17, 2021 The Honorable Governor Kate Brown, Governor of Oregon 900 Court St NE Salem, OR 97301 Dear Governor Kate Brown: As Oregon state legislators, many with ties to refugee communities, we are compelled to speak out after seeing the chaotic scenes in Kabul this weekend. We join together to affirm that Afghan families are welcome in Oregon. We are calling for the safe passage for people from Afghanistan who are facing immediate threats to their lives and the lives of their families. What we are facing now is a humanitarian crisis, and we must meet this moment with the urgency it demands. Together, we call on the Biden administration to lift the refugee admission caps and take other emergency humanitarian actions that will save lives at this pivotal time. As a state, we must also take all the necessary steps to be prepared to resettle families when they arrive. Events in Afghanistan echo the departure of the United States from Saigon following the end of the Vietnam War. In 1975, the United States lifted refugee caps to allow more than 125,000 families to resettle in communities across the country. Since then, the United States has admitted more than three million refugees who have resettled in this country. Though refugees and immigrants have faced and continue to face significant barriers, they continue to demonstrate their dedication to serving the public and they add immense value to our communities. They are students, small business owners, neighbors, and community leaders. They are our friends and family. As Oregonians, we welcome vulnerable and displaced families seeking refuge from violence and oppression.
