About Us
Oregon Action is a statewide chapter-based grassroots organization that works on many issues. We often work in coalition with other organizations to enhance our power to win change.

Oregon Action was founded on the belief that organizing people to build power at the grassroots is the only way to win change in the long term, because that is the only way to change the balance of power.



Leaders
Oregon Action leaders are the decision-makers for the organization. Leaders represent the organization in coalitions and in regional and national organizations. Leaders also represent OA when speaking to the press and testifying in the legislature.

Members are trained in public-speaking, research skills, strategic planning and in organizing. Most of our training is achieved with the help and support of the Northwest Federation of Community Organizations (NWFCO), Western States Center and US Action. and within Oregon Action with our more experienced leaders.



Could you be an OA leader?
Any Oregon Action member can become a leader by attending OA meetings and trainings and by volunteering on our campaigns. Oregon Action is committed to leadership development and training, because that is how we become stronger and more effective. Please join us.
