Dear John, ​

Oregon’s five-week legislative session wrapped up this week.

As always, Oregon Right to Life was busy working to support and defend life. We prepared materials to assist our pro-life legislators, engaged with advocates like you at our Pro-Life Lobby Day [[link removed]], and worked hard to push forward life-affirming legislation.

Sadly, our bills to protect abortion survivors [[link removed]] and pain-capable [[link removed]] unborn babies didn’t get a hearing, even though a majority of voters on both sides of the aisle support these protections. Nonetheless, we made an impact and maintained an active presence for life in our state’s Capitol.

John, Oregon Right to Life is the only organization working full-time to promote life-affirming legislation in this state. But influencing statewide policy to protect the most vulnerable isn’t just for lawmakers and lobbyists. It’s also for grassroots pro-life advocates like you who want to promote life-affirming policies in their own communities.

One way you can get involved is by becoming a Precinct Committee Person (PCP) – but you’ll have to act fast!

Learn About PCPs and How To Get Involved [[link removed]]

PCPs are volunteers who represent their political party on the local level. They help pro-life candidates run for office, select replacements for vacated state and county offices, and can direct and attend their county’s central committee meetings. As a pro-life PCP, you have the opportunity to influence your party’s policies regarding abortion, physician-assisted suicide, and other extremely important life issues.

It’s usually easy to become a PCP – most of the time, you just need your name on the ballot.

If you’re interested in becoming a PCP in the May primary election, fill out a one-page candidate filing form [[link removed]] and submit it to your county elections official [[link removed]]by the March 12 deadline.

We hope you’ll consider taking this opportunity to support life-affirming policies in your community!

Because everyone deserves an advocate,

Sharolyn Smith

Political Director
