Support Defend Oregon!

Please join us in our pledge to support Defend Oregon, a coalition of organizations and individuals committed to a fairer tax system in Oregon and protecting essential services: education, public safety, and healthcare.
The reforms suported by Defend Oregon protect nearly $1 billion in vital services like education, health care and public safety. These funds preserve class sizes, save jobs for teachers, provide seniors with in-home care, and provide health care for thousands of Oregonians through the Oregon Health Plan. In this time of economic crisis, we must protect those who have been hit the hardest--seniors, children and the unemployed--without putting more of a burden on the middle class.
