We believe all Oregonians deserve a real opportunity to thrive. This won’t be achieved by accident or by chance. Good public policy is essential.

Oregon can't afford tax rebates for the rich
Due to actions by Congress, Oregon’s finances have soured. Even so, the state is about to spend a lot of money on the tax rebate known as the “kicker.”

Oregon's own history shows why it's so important to have good data on #foodinsecurity. It's essential for fixing problems when problems exist
Given the Trump administration’s threat to plunge the nation into darkness when it comes to basic information regarding hunger levels, Oregon can strike its own course toward the light, columnist Tyler Mac Innis of @ocppnews.bsky.social writes.
The Trump administration wants to hide hunger facts. Oregon can fill the void • Oregon Capital Chronicle
One thing is clear: more Oregonians will go hungry as a result of the Republican budget bill passed earlier this year.
