Ongoing, 7am-5pm: Largest Healthcare Strike in Oregon History! Join a Picket Line!
Nearly 5,000 healthcare professionals at the Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) are calling on Providence Health & Services to return to the bargaining table and put their patients before profits by offering a fair contract to frontline caregivers. Nurses, doctors, physician associates, certified nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, clinical staff, and other healthcare professionals are striking Providence beginning Jan. 10.
ONA members are holding this historic and courageous strike because of Providence’s unfair labor practices, dangerously understaffed hospitals, the need for more time with patients, affordable employee healthcare, and competitive wages and benefits to help recruit and retain more caregivers.
Join the picket lines and stand in solidarity with healthcare workers fighting for better care for their patients and a stronger future for caregivers!

Pledge to Support PSU Professors When They Strike!
Members of Portland State University’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors (PSU-AAUP) have been bargaining and rallying tirelessly to win just wages, stronger job and layoff protections, reasonable workloads, racial equity compensation, and enhanced member benefits for faculty and staff. For over 100 hours of bargaining, PSU administration has continued to stall on key issues for settling a fair contract, forcing nearly 1,200 members to prepare for an upcoming strike. Impasse could come as soon as Thursday.

Saturday, Feb. 15, 6-7pm: Oregon for Human Rights Virtual Info Session
Did you know the State of Oregon has invested hundreds of millions in human rights and environmental abuses in Palestine, the Philippines, and beyond? Oregon claims to make decisions based on justice and equity. However, if you track our state’s investments and pension funds, our money is not where our mouth is. We can do something about this.
Join us for a virtual information session to learn about our bill that would ensure Oregon investments protect human and environmental rights, and learn how your organization can get involved in this fight.
