Here's a fun way to support your own interests and ability to know what's going on in Oregon. SPJ's crowdfunded white-hat lobbyist has played a crucial role helping lawmakers better understand bills promoting excessive secrecy. The result: major victories for the public good.

@MalloryGruben Yes! Send us an email at [email protected]!

[Greater Oregon SPJ @SPJOregon]

Join us for a fun-filled evening that supports a good cause. Our annual fundraiser is 5:30-8:30 p.m. Saturday, May 11, at Revolution Hall in Portland. Grab a drink or snack, and bid on silent auction items from around the region.
