Mid-term Election a Big Night for the Environment and Our Community!

Huge broad progressive coalitions were formed that included environmental groups, environmental justice groups, communities of color, housing advocates, local businesses, labor, communities of faith….Thousands of people took to the streets in true grassroots campaigns, collecting signatures, knocking on doors, distributing lawn signs, making phone calls, hosting house parties, talking to their friends and neighbors about the need to take control of our communities and our future.

Bird Alliance of Oregon was proud to stand with groups like the Coalition of Communities of Color, NAACP, Verde, APANO, Causa, OPAL Environmental Justice, Sierra Club of Oregon, 350PDX, NAYA, Physicians for Social Responsibility of Oregon, Family Forward Oregon, Columbia Riverkeeper, Oregon Environmental Council, and so many others. Those grassroots coalitions will transcend this election and help build a stronger more equitable future for all members of our community.

Thank you to everybody who volunteered on these campaigns, who voted, who stood up for a healthier and more equitable future for people and wildlife in our state!
