We're celebrating 5 years as an independent, frontline-led organization fighting for #ClimateJustice in Oregon. Five years ago, frontline leaders turned crisis into a statewide movement. Read our new blog & impact report to see how far we’ve come and where we’re headed next: tinyurl.com/v7kcv9cn

Climate change hits low-income Oregonians first and worst. Weatherizing homes saves energy, lowers bills, and saves lives. Federal & state funds make it possible, and Oregon lawmakers must keep investing in resilient, affordable housing for all. Read more: buff.ly/f53fPXF #Weatherization

It’s a BIG DEAL to celebrate 10 years of frontline organizing, especially when those in power are trying to stop us. Last week, @frontandcentered.org turned TEN(!) and our teammates traveled up to WA to celebrate and be in community with them. We’re forever grateful for you and inspired by you, F&C!

What does community-led #CleanEnergy look like in practice? Community leaders visited Hood River to learn more about efficient, community-owned hydro energy projects, seeing firsthand both the promise and challenges of #CleanEnergy alternatives. Read reflections on our blog: buff.ly/FeS8nCW

A #JustTransition is how we move from an extractive to a regenerative economy that gives more than it takes, heals more than it harms, and creates conditions for our communities and the land to thrive.

Thank you @oregoncub.bsky.social for inviting us to your Annual Energy Conference. It was a great opportunity to hang out with our energy allies in person, and talk in depth about what we can about utility affordability and growing energy demands. #EnergyAffordability

Oregon is home, not a military target. We reject Trump’s attempts to militarize our state. AG Dan Rayfield and the City of Portland won in court twice to stop them, but the fight isn't over. Thank our leaders for standing strong and urge them to keep at it: action.aclu.org/send-message...
Thank our elected leaders for protecting Oregonians from federal abuse of power
Please take action!

Each dollar we invest in #ClimateAction pays us exponentially by lowering energy bills and reducing pollution that causes asthma & heart disease. Gutting these funds will make energy expensive and Oregonians less healthy. State leaders must stand up and defend our climate values.

We're rising up to say saying #NoTroopsInOregon because it's a dangerous abuse of power that puts frontline communities in even greater danger. We won't be divided or silenced by the actions of the federal government. We'll keep protecting our families, our futures, and our collective power.

Not everyone can choose to drive a car.

#WeekWithoutDriving starts next Monday Sep. 29-Oct. 5

Join the national movement❤️ Bring along your friends❤️ Get local leaders involved❤️

People Waiting at night for the bus Text: Week Without Driving Monday September 29 - Sunday October 5 If you can drive or afford a car, you may not understand what it’s like to rely on walking, rolling, transit and asking for rides. But for nearly a third of people living in the United States – people with disabilities, young people, seniors and people who can’t afford cars or gas – this is our every day. We created the Week Without Driving experience so that those who have the option to drive can learn firsthand about the barriers and challenges that nondrivers face and work with nondrivers to create more accessible communities for all.

It was so fun to support Verde and hang out with Building Resilience #CullyFest this year! We loved meeting new people, sharing food, and helping create a space where everyone felt welcome. Pictured: our advocacy director with @brad-reed.bsky.social and Annabelle of Verde. #PDX

Yesterday was #ZeroEmissionsDay. Fossil fuels drive extreme heat, drought, & wildfires that hit frontline communities first and worst. Reducing our dependence on gas and oil means fewer heat waves, wildfires, and droughts. That's why we ask you to stand with communities fighting for #ClimateJustice.

We’ve won real change, and it’s worth celebrating (again). Last week, @tinakotek.bsky.social signed the FAIR Energy Act into law, which will keep energy bills from skyrocketing. This win proves our work matters. That our communities are powerful. That we're building the energy future we deserve.

The same system that drives the climate crisis also exploits workers, especially farmworkers who face extreme heat, wildfire smoke, and flooding while keeping our communities fed. We’re taking #LaborDay off because we believe in a future where no one has to risk their lives to put food on our table.
