Our Mission
Led by people of color, immigrants and refugees, rural communities, and people experiencing poverty, we work across Oregon to build a unified intercultural movement for justice.
Unite Oregon represents over 13,000 supporters and members across Oregon.
Our Values
Inclusivity:
We believe in creating welcoming, inclusive spaces that make room for all people to be their full, authentic selves.
Social Justice:
We believe in sharing power, opportunities, and resources to ensure equitable participation and representation in an increasingly multicultural society.
Racial Justice:
Because of the United States' history of racism, we believe in putting racial justice front and center in our work.
Empowerment:
We believe all people have the potential to become leaders and agents of change.
Stewardship:
We believe in stewardship and respect for the environment, both within our own organization and in our broader communities.
Respect:
We believe in the fundamental human dignity of all people.
Transparency:
We commit to organizational transparency and accountability to our members and to the communities we organize.
Leadership:
We believe that the people most affected by injustice should be the individuals and communities leading and advocating for solutions.
Equity:
We examine all issues through perspectives of race, economic status, immigration status, and gender to promote equity and inclusion of all.
Vibrancy:
We build strong, vibrant connections through the celebration of families, cultures, and communities. We believe that justice is a journey, and our creation of community is what sustains us on that journey.
