Stand with California and Washington to Defend Democracy and Protect Our Rights in Oregon
Dear Governor Kotek and Members of the Oregon Legislature,
We, the undersigned residents of Oregon, urge you to stand in solidarity with California and Washington to defend our shared values and protect the fundamental rights of all Oregonians. As our neighboring states take bold steps to safeguard democracy, reproductive rights, environmental protections, and civil liberties, we call on you to join this critical effort and demonstrate that Oregon will not stand idly by in the face of threats to these core principles.
Oregon has a proud history of leading with integrity and compassion. Now, more than ever, we need decisive action to ensure that our state remains a beacon of progress, equity, and justice. We ask you to:
- Commit to proactive policies that protect reproductive freedom, environmental standards, and access to healthcare in which words must be accompanied by meaningful policies and measurable actions to truly safeguard our communities.
- Partner with California, Washington, and other like-minded states to counter federal overreach that threatens our shared values.
- Ensure that Oregon remains a safe and welcoming place for all, regardless of federal policies, by issuing a clear and public statement reaffirming our state’s commitment to protecting the rights, safety, and dignity of every resident.
- We ask for the statement to safeguarding LGBTQIA+ rights (marriage and transgender healthcare) by enshrining it within the Oregon constitution.
By standing united with our regional neighbors, Oregon can help set a powerful example for the nation and reaffirm our commitment to democracy and human rights.
We trust in your leadership and commitment to the people of Oregon. Together, let’s build a future that prioritizes the well-being and rights of every individual in our state.
Sincerely,
Linn County Democrats and all signatories below
