It's the first day of the 2022 Legislative session! Looking forward to working with legislators to make investments in child care, housing, and career training, and to support Oregon's working families.
Let's get to work!
๐จMAJOR THREAT ALERT! ๐จ There are MULTIPLE proposals being introduced this legislative session to take up to $120 million out of the Measure 110 services fund. Tell #orleg to JUST SAY NO to ANY cuts to 110 funding: https://t.co/stAlFKWOiW #orpol
