Oregon legislators are considering SB 238A, a bill to allow law enforcement to use drones for surveillance without court oversight. This could lead to unchecked monitoring, infringing on privacy and free speech rights. Tell legislators: reject SB 238A! #orpol #orleg

Corporate execs get paid during strikes—why shouldn’t workers? Employers weaponize financial hardship to break strikes. UI benefits for striking workers level the playing field & ensure real negotiations happen. Oregon must act in 2025! #ORPol #StandWithWorkers

As educators, we are united in supporting every student—no matter the language they speak or their place of birth—and ensuring they have access to safe, welcoming public schools.
Here is guidance from NEA's Office of General Counsel that may be helpful.

Not great polling data given that lawmakers want to ask Oregonians to open their pocketbooks to fund transportation in the coming session.
Chart is from DHM, a noted opinion researcher in Oregon and was shared with an #orleg working group that's prepping for 2025 transpo funding package.

Folks think they are the exception, most people don’t know that their struggle is common
This chart shows where Oregonians rely on government healthcare (Medicaid). The counties that rely on it the most, are often the areas where voters say they want government healthcare the least.
How do Democrats more effectively discuss the role of government in healthcare?
