Unite Oregon

For 20 years, Unite Oregon led the fight for social justice in Oregon by empowering communities ignored by the powerful. Harnessing the power of people coming together to make change, join us in working for a Oregon that is safe, prosperous, and healthy for all.


Unite Oregon is focused on six issues that impact all Oregonians, but especially our communities. We work to ensure that our community voice is heard at the tables where decisions are made.

Climate Justice

The climate crisis has amplified the historic and present day inequities experienced by our communities, which will only worsen if action is not taken.

Prosperity begins with safe, sustainable, and affordable housing.

Community Safety

Promoting community safety requires a fundamental shift away from policing, incarceration, and top-down coercive “security.”

Education Equity

Unite Oregon advances educational equity by creating clear pathways for parent engagement through community education workers that prioritize the health of students and ensure that Immigrant, Refugee, and BIPOC parent and student voices are reflected within Oregon’s education system.

Economic Justice

Unite Oregon works to ensure our communities have access to workforce training, sustainable and fair employment, and the opportunity to build wealth. We work to ensure language barriers are reduced as well as expand access to licensing opportunities in trades.

Health Equity

Unite Oregon works on the ground to ensure IR-BIPOC communities know their rights under Oregon law, and have access to healthcare. Our current work includes helping our communities recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and reproductive justice advocacy.
