To promote social and economic justice and advance the mission of the NAACP, we need Branch members to speak up and be heard on a variety of state-level issues. Each Oregon citizen is represented in the Oregon Legislature by one senator and one representative. A short and simple email lets them hear your voice. Your participation in democracy is crucial to its survival. And the Oregon Legislative Information System (OLIS) makes it fast and easy to do just that.
To determine who currently represents you, simply enter your residential address in the form linked below. This provides email addresses, phone numbers and websites for your state senator and state representative. It also identities your U.S. congressional district and U.S. representative.
Whether you email, call or write, let your elected officials know of your support for legislation that stands up for your values. A few sentences that speak to your thoughts regarding a particular bill or issue benefits our cause. If you need help researching a bill or issue, contact your Branch PAC.
Go to the website your State Senator and State Representative listed below and e-Subscribe to their newsletter. Look for the box on the upper right of their page and enter your email address. You’ll be informed, and can share what you learn with our Branch, and with your neighbors.
