About Us

We are Oregon was originally launched by Oregon’s SEIU Locals 49 and 503, with the intention of broadening the fight on issues that affect working class Oregonians beyond the workplace, and into the communities hit hardest by the current economic crisis.

We know that Oregon isn’t just what we see in the media. It’s not all outdoor sports, scenic vistas, high tech businesses and art festivals. Oregon is the people who work here, of all backgrounds, who raise families and struggle to make ends meet. Oregon is immigrants, elders, people of color and the disabled, janitors and bus drivers, farm-workers and food service workers. “We Are Oregon” reminds us that a successful Oregon must include success and opportunity for all.

We’re fighting for a fair economy, where working class people have a voice in our own future, and in how our own communities are run. We see the current economy as inherently unfair, because the priorities of banks, corporations and the rich take precedence in almost every situation over the needs of our families and communities.
