AFT-Oregon is seeking a full-time, experienced Staff Organizer (hybrid work based in Oregon). 

The Staff Organizer is responsible for supporting local unions with creating organizing plans, nurturing members' leadership capacity and increasing membership density, and for collaborating with AFT-Oregon’s elected leadership to create and implement statewide organizing goals.

AFT-Oregon’s members spent countless hours interviewing and reading responses from candidates across the state to prepare for the 2026 General Election. Your federation’s primary focus is the state legislature, where critical decisions on funding and revenue for education occur.

Progressive revenue reform was the most pressing issue in our endorsement process this election due to the historic budget strain our workplaces have experienced.

Oregon’s 2026 short legislative session has officially wrapped, and AFT-Oregon is proud to share our 2026 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.
