Las elecciones son importantes porque los políticos crean leyes que ayudan o perjudican a nuestras familias. Ya sea que se trate de gentrificación, violencia policial o la lucha continua por los derechos de los inmigrantes, los líderes electos están tomando decisiones sobre qué tipo de Oregón escuchamos y quiénes son bienvenidos aquí.

Who’s Who? in Oregon Politics
Elections matter because politicians create laws that help or hurt our families. The policies that shaped Oregon—theft of Native lands, our formation as a whites-only state, and laws discriminating against non-white immigrants—continue today. Whether it’s gentrification, police violence, or the ongoing fight for immigrant rights, elected leaders are making decisions about what kind of Oregon we live in and who is welcome here.

Oregon families who experience hunger know what it’s like to make the tough, daily decision between food and other basic necessities.

Oregonians experiencing hunger also know that elected leaders can make a remarkable difference in our daily lives.
