"At the end of the day, we want to make sure that folks are able to turn on the heat when it's cold and turn on the AC when it's hot and it not burn a hole in their pocket," Executive Director Joel Iboa emphasized.

Climate change hits low-income Oregonians first and worst. Weatherizing homes saves energy, lowers bills, and saves lives. Federal & state funds make it possible, and Oregon lawmakers must keep investing in resilient, affordable housing for all. Read more: buff.ly/f53fPXF #Weatherization

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!

A #JustTransition is how we move from an extractive to a regenerative economy that gives more than it takes, heals more than it harms, and creates conditions for our communities and the land to thrive.

Thank you @oregoncub.bsky.social for inviting us to your Annual Energy Conference. It was a great opportunity to hang out with our energy allies in person, and talk in depth about what we can about utility affordability and growing energy demands. #EnergyAffordability

Oregon is home, not a military target. We reject Trump’s attempts to militarize our state. AG Dan Rayfield and the City of Portland won in court twice to stop them, but the fight isn't over. Thank our leaders for standing strong and urge them to keep at it: action.aclu.org/send-message...
Thank our elected leaders for protecting Oregonians from federal abuse of power
Please take action!

Each dollar we invest in #ClimateAction pays us exponentially by lowering energy bills and reducing pollution that causes asthma & heart disease. Gutting these funds will make energy expensive and Oregonians less healthy. State leaders must stand up and defend our climate values.

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.

Yesterday was #ZeroEmissionsDay. Fossil fuels drive extreme heat, drought, & wildfires that hit frontline communities first and worst. Reducing our dependence on gas and oil means fewer heat waves, wildfires, and droughts. That's why we ask you to stand with communities fighting for #ClimateJustice.
