$11 million taken from Oregon public schools...in a pandemic?

Bonamici For Congress     Betsy DeVos has had an abysmal record as Secretary of Education. And now during the pandemic, she is recklessly following Trump's dangerous idea to reopen schools without protecting our students, teachers, and families. Sign the petition demanding she resign as…

The Climate Crisis: our economy, justice, equity.

Bonamici For Congress     The changing climate and extreme weather events increasingly threaten our environment, economy, and public health. We need action now. I'm glad to announce that after more than a year of hearings, meetings, and briefings, the Select Committee on the Climate Cr…

Public lands for sale?

Bonamici For Congress     We can create high-quality jobs while protecting the environment – Oregon's been leading the way for years. Protecting public lands and investing in clean and renewable energy will create jobs, curb climate change, and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Desp…

an unconstitutional invasion

Bonamici For Congress     As Portland recovers from Trump's unconstitutional invasion, I want to share this video with you from my discussion with Ali Velshi on MSNBC. What happened in Portland was neither law nor order: it was a politically motivated, violent display of authoritaria…

Everyone Needs a Home

Bonamici For Congress     Housing is essential, and during the coronavirus pandemic it's threatened far too many individuals and families. Because of the Trump administration's failed response to COVID 19, too many of our friends and neighbors now face an impossible situation; they can…

We're demanding that they leave; they are not helping our community

Bonamici For Congress     In Oregon, we support and value the right to protest. Newly deployed, unidentified federal officers have arrived in Portland, sent by the Trump administration. Militarized stormtroopers have snatched peaceful protesters off the streets, tossed them into unmark…

His ignorance isn't our bliss.

Bonamici For Congress     For the last few months, lawmakers have been working to make sure our communities get the support they need during this global pandemic. We've accomplished a lot, but too many families are still struggling. Despite the ongoing pandemic, Donald Trump's plans in…

Neither Law Nor Order

Bonamici For Congress     The President is trying to deflect from his failed leadership on the coronavirus by making a show of sending scores of camouflage-clad federal officers to the streets of Portland, where they have exacerbated tensions and stoked fear. Donald Trump is trying to …

We need meaningful, national solutions.

Bonamici For Congress     Police brutality and violence against non-white communities is not a new problem. Generations of Black, Indigenous, and communities of color have been traumatized by systemic racism and violence. In the past few weeks, people have taken to the street to demand …

Why We Must Save Child Care

Bonamici For Congress     Even before the pandemic, every county in Oregon was considered a "child care desert" for infants and toddlers. That means in all 36 counties, only one spot was available for every three children who need care. That math is impossible for working families. The…
