Unite’s Community Campaign is a field program designed to give power to voters. Our democracy is dominated by a culture of Pay-for-Play, an environment in which those with more money have the most influence, and this includes the money to spend time. We have supported several efforts to reform Campaign Finance but know accessibility will continue to be an issue. At Unite, we provide accessibility options for your time, child care, transportation, food, translation and interpretation, and other ability needs when engaging in field activities like phone banking and door knocking. Our field activities include events hosted directly by Unite and promotion of other campaign events. We will provide a slew of opportunities for members to engage in but the decision of which field activities are attended lies in the hands of our membership.
2022 Community Campaign Blog Post:
Election results are rolling in and Unite Oregon Action is proud to share the work of our Community Campaign! So much was at stake during the midterm elections nationally and locally from reproductive rights, to access to health care, community safety, and so much more. But our members fought back to keep Oregon a safe and inclusive state.
With Tina Kotek winning the Governor’s seat, we know that Oregon remains a haven for the issues we organize and advocate for within our Six Pillars. We have also won a majority in both the House and the Senate that reflect our community member’s values. This moment in our state’s history is a reason to celebrate!
