Our focus will be the achievement of policies and laws reflective of our principles Our focus will be on * Human Rights * Environmental Justice * Deepening Democracy * Income inequality Prior to the start of the January 2019 session, the legislature will focus on: 1. hold legislative day committee hearings 2. response to requests from constituents by interacting with Legislative Council in writing draft bills which might be submitted after the session opening for consideration by the various committees. The next legislative days are scheduled for Dec. 11-14. To learn the agenda of any particular committee's hearing, check the Oregon Legislative Information Service page. Frequently, public outreach campaigns are organized for legislative days. If you have a specific interest and can identify organizations working on those issues, you might find that a rally, lobbying event or other public event might be scheduled during these days. |
