Join us for the launch of Oregon Rising’s coordinated labor and community campaign against fascism and for a livable planet, strong schools, housing and worker justice, affordability and dignity for all.

This event is also in support of the International Migrants Alliance protest of the abysmal conditions of the NW ICE Detention Center in Tacoma, WA, which is the deportation hub of the northwest.

Oregon Rising is a newly formed network of labor and community groups inspired by the Minnesota Week of Action in 2024 and the Tennessee for All coalition.

2025 End-of-Session Report

Oregon’s 2025 legislative session has officially wrapped, and AFT-Oregon is proud to share our 2025 End-of-Session Report. Inside, you’ll find an overview of the legislative session, a breakdown of our policy and budget priorities, highlights of member engagement and advocacy efforts, and the outcomes of key bills and funding decisions.

This session was shaped by major challenges, from a bleak state budget landscape to growing federal threats to public programs under the Trump administration. The moment called for bold leadership, but widespread caution and a lack of political will among lawmakers held back progress on critical reforms and legislation. Despite this, AFT-Oregon members showed up with strength and persistence throughout the session. Together, we fought for increased funding for public education, protections for workers, and policies that advanced economic and social justice for all Oregonians.
