Hi John,
How are you? I want you to know that all of us here at OLCV are thinking of our members during this difficult time. I hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we recently made the difficult decision to postpone our Annual Celebration for the Environment, originally planned for May 1st. This was a particularly tough decision in an election year, as this event is critical to funding our work electing and re-electing environmental champions to office, from city councils to statewide.
This is still going to be a big year for Oregon's environment, with elections coming up in May and November. We need your help ensuring that we have the resources we need to protect Oregon’s people, places, and planet when we need them: now.
We had a great program planned for the Annual Celebration and luckily a few of our planned speakers have agreed to join us virtually so you can watch along from the safety and comfort of your home.
On Friday, May 1st, we will release video interviews with several OLCV-endorsed candidates, and at 4pm I'll give you a special live preview of our election work. Grab your favorite Oregon wine or beer (shout-out to OLCV friend and sponsor Worthy Brewing) or another beverage of your choice and join us!
Our lives have been turned upside down, but our work—protecting Oregon’s environmental legacy, electing pro-environment candidates to office, and holding all of our elected officials accountable—simply can’t stop. We truly need you more now than ever.
Sincerely,
Doug Moore, Executive Director OLCV
