Mission

Our mission is to strengthen the skills, resources and vision of primary... (continued on schedule o) leadership in local autonomous human dignity groups with a goal of keeping such groups a vibrant source for a just democracy.

Programs

2 programs

Advancing democracy and defending human dignity through collective statewide and local community action that advances social, racial, economic and climate justice, counters white nationalism, and promotes inclusive democracy. Community members from 18 counties came together for our defending democracy living room conversations to make plans for keeping temperatures low in their counties during election season and to ensure access to voting in the may primary.

Expenses: $210K

Confronting and transforming systems that prevent rural oregonians from living their lives fully with safety and dignity: rop was one of the leading organizations to make sure oregon's 2021 sanctuary promise act was getting fully implemented at the local and statewide levels. This year we celebrated the victory of our lawsuit against the city of cottage grove for breaking state sanctuary laws. We partnered with the hood river latino network to open rop's newest field office and immigrant help center in hood river, a cultural resource, training, and event hub to foster community leadership development.
