Dear John, The 2021 Oregon legislative session starts in six days. Once again, the abortion lobby holds a supermajority in both branches. With an all-virtual legislative session, short of floor votes, we're expecting a rough road. Unfortunately, we anticipate that members of the public will not be allowed inside the building. We'll be doing everything we can to help you continue to advocate. On February 25, we will be holding a virtual lobbying day. We'll kick it off with a Zoom session at 11:30 am with several elected officials. Please put it on your calendar. Even if you cannot participate in the Zoom, make sure to call and email your representatives on February 25. More details will be coming! Thank you for helping us stand up for the vulnerable this year. Because everyone deserves an advocate, Lois Anderson P.S. Together We Advocate 2021 is coming up fast on March 6. An in-person event looks likely, fortunately. (We will most likely have an attendance cap so register now.) |
