To lean into dismantling workplace urgency, we’re taking a break. We're closed from Dec. 22 to Jan. 2 so we can rest and connect with loved ones for the winter holidays. Thanks for your patience and understanding during this time.

It’s a BIG DEAL to celebrate 10 years of frontline organizing, especially when those in power are trying to stop us. Last week, @frontandcentered.org turned TEN(!) and our teammates traveled up to WA to celebrate and be in community with them. We’re forever grateful for you and inspired by you, F&C!

We're rising up to say saying #NoTroopsInOregon because it's a dangerous abuse of power that puts frontline communities in even greater danger. We won't be divided or silenced by the actions of the federal government. We'll keep protecting our families, our futures, and our collective power.

We’ve won real change, and it’s worth celebrating (again). Last week, @tinakotek.bsky.social signed the FAIR Energy Act into law, which will keep energy bills from skyrocketing. This win proves our work matters. That our communities are powerful. That we're building the energy future we deserve.

The same system that drives the climate crisis also exploits workers, especially farmworkers who face extreme heat, wildfire smoke, and flooding while keeping our communities fed. We’re taking #LaborDay off because we believe in a future where no one has to risk their lives to put food on our table.

No one should lose power during a #HeatWave 😤🥵 These Oregon rules temporarily protect people from shutoffs & help qualified folks get reconnected w/o paying fees during #ExtremeHeat. These rules are only temporary, but allies like @oregoncub.bsky.social are working to make them permanent.
If an extreme heat warning, watch, or advisory is issued, PGE, Pacific Power and Idaho Power can’t shut off your power for nonpayment, and you’re protected until 48 hours after it ends.If you have a medical certificate or you’re on a bill discount program and were disconnected in the last 7 days, call PGE, PP, or IP to be reconnected at no upfront cost to you.If your power was shut off up to 72 hours before a heat watch, you can also be reconnected without paying reconnection fees.

WOOD VILLAGE, OR

“Wood Village is the hottest city in the county due to excessive pavement and limited tree cover. With CHPDP, 36 households in a manufactured home park received mini-split units (heat pumps) at no cost to homeowners. Many of these homes are older with inadequate insulation. We also secured 28 portable AC units for  BIPOC households, many with small children.

In total, 64 homes were upgraded. CHPDP has made a significant impact and 
is a proven model that can
be expanded to reduce the
impacts of extreme weather 
and better serve our most 
vulnerable communities.”SUSIE
ROGUE VALLEY, OR

“Food, housing, and financial stability are not new issues for rural Oregonians, and high energy bills contribute to this. A lot of people in my community go without heating and cooling or rely on plug-in units that cost way more to run.

CHPDP makes it possible for low-income and elderly community members to stay safe and comfortable in extreme weather without going into debt or going without food or medication. 

It should be a basic human 
right to be safe and healthy in 
your home. In many rural 
communities, CHPDP is the 
only program for low-cost
heating and cooling support.“

Move Oregon Forward logo. Text reads: the 2025 transportation package OUTLINE was just released. Here’s what we think.What did legislators include in the outline? 
-Operations and maintenance
-Live-saving safety programs
-Public transit, including Youth Pass and rural transit
-Commuter rail projects
-2017 megaprojects
-Road Usage ChargeWHAT ARE WE EXCITED ABOUT?
-It supports many ways to get around, which means Oregonians have more freedom to choose.
-Legislators name access to public transit and passenger rail as values.
-They named essential and popular safety programs Safe Routes to School, Great Streets, and Oregon Community Paths.
-Sustainably funding maintenance and preservation of our roads.WHAT DO WE WANT TO SEE?
-The funding in the package must match the outline’s stated wish to expand public and active transportation programs.
-It should include critical climate programs to reduce climate and air pollution from vehicles, and to increase access to chargers for homes and businesses.

This legislative session, we're advocating for energy democracy, a movement to give people a voice in energy decisions typically made by for-profit utilities.In Oregon, our communities  are hit hard with extreme heat, high energy bills, and dirty air. But not everyone faces the same burden. People with disabilities, rural families, people of color, and low-income folks are often hit hardest. If we don’t put these communities first, they'll fall even further behind.Oregonians need healthy, affordable homes that run 
on clean energy, no matter who they are, where they 
live, or how much they make.
