Hunger should never be a bargaining chip.
We’ve joined 225 Oregon orgs urging USDA Sec. Rollins and Congress to act now. Due to the shutdown, 757k+ Oregonians—1 in 6—could lose SNAP benefits in November even though the USDA has $5B to prevent this crisis.

ONA condemns President Trump’s recent statements advising pregnant women to “avoid Tylenol at all costs” and proposing FDA warning labels against acetaminophen use in pregnancy. These claims lack scientific support and risk undermining trust in evidence-based care.

Medicaid is healthcare for 1 in 3 Oregonians. But Congressman Cliff Bentz is supporting a rushed and reckless plan to terminate coverage for thousands of his constituents – all to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

Today on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army we honor our fellow Americans that dedicated their lives to protect our country.
For as long as we have had a military we’ve had nurses and other healthcare professionals serving on the frontline. We honor their skill, bravery, and dedication. #flagday

@oregonnursesassoc.bsky.social nurses, pros, and techs at Legacy have been bargaining with the healthcare giant for over a year.
Legacy is slow walking these negotiations, and it’s costing workers and patients.

Republicans passed huge Medicaid cuts & now our members + their patients are paying the price. PeaceHealth just laid off dozens of health professionals, directly blaming federal cuts. This is what happens when politicians put tax breaks for the wealthy over care for families.
