It's down to the wire for actually booking and finishing a job, but it doesn't hurt to ask. You can get a lot of cash back still. If your heat, water heater, or stove are on their last legs. Upgrade and save!

We just got a huge win for Oregonians - and a check on the president's power: we received a ruling preventing the president from deploying the National Guard on the streets of our cities.

No one - not even the president - is above the law.

Nearly 300 species are at risk of extinction in Oregon. 🦌

1% for Wildlife is our chance to change that if you act now. After it was stalled in the Senate during the 2025 Session, we need the Governor’s support to move this bill across the finish line.

OLCV’s 2025 Environmental Scorecard is a tool that helps us to hold our elected officials accountable for how they voted on our priorities.
It’s more important than ever that our legislators step up. We need to hold them accountable.

Our 2025 Environmental Scorecard for the Oregon Legislature is here!
The 2025 session left much work undone. Oregon was playing defense while Trump’s administration advanced a full-scale rollback of environmental protections.
Dive into it all with the Scorecard! www.olcvscorecard.org/2025/

Federal tax credits for renewable energy projects will expire next year, due to the elimination of these incentives by the Trump Administration. However, thanks to Governor @tinakotek.bsky.social, OR will speed up its permitting process so projects can meet the deadline.

This shutdown isn't an accident.

Trump and Republicans have complete control over the federal government and have chosen to steal billions of dollars from communities while giving handouts to billionaires.

Tell Congress to pass a bipartisan funding bill and end this theft. #TrumpShutdown
Tell Congress to end the Republican shutdown!
Trump and Republicans have shut down the federal government — and the American people are paying the price.

We spent this weekend at the Sun Day events in Portland and Corvallis! There were speeches, a parade, and a rally, all to celebrate renewable energy!

Stay tuned for a video tomorrow!

The Roadless Rule protects nearly 60 million acres of untouched national forest from roads and logging, keeping some of our last intact places in the country whole. Eliminating it would be the single largest conservation rollback in our nation’s history.

We love our public lands and they aren’t for sale!

Last week, in partnership with @lcv.org, we joined a press conference hosted by Congresswoman Maxine Dexter to raise awareness on the current threats to our public lands.

Thank you Congresswoman for your dedication to protecting our public lands!

Our treasured public lands and national monuments are under attack.

That's why we joined @repdexteror.bsky.social and @olcv.org
at Mount Hood to make clear: our public lands are not for sale and we'll never stop fighting to protect them.

Oregon missed a major opportunity this last session to continue being a leader on climate by passing a pro-climate transportation package, despite a Democratic majority in both the House and Senate. Read more about this from an OLCV volunteer here:

Oregon is seeing hotter days. “As much of Oregon endures consecutive days of high heat, climate data shows the state has seen more 90 degree Fahrenheit or hotter days over the past 10 years than in the decades that came before.” Read more:

Oregon is getting hotter with the number of 90 degree days on the rise in recent years. A climate science professor at Portland State University says Oregonians can expect to see that trend continue.
