As we navigate uncertain times, it’s heartening to see Oregon advocacy groups taking bold steps towards ensuring that all individuals are treated with dignity and respect. A coalition of three organizations – Basic Rights Oregon, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Oregon, and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon – has launched a ballot measure campaign aimed at enshrining the right to abortion, transgender health care, and same-gender marriage in the state constitution.
This monumental effort is all about securing fundamental human rights for every individual living in Oregon. By putting these protections into law through a constitutional amendment, we can ensure that future generations are free from discrimination and able to live their lives without fear of persecution or marginalization.
The proposed measure will require a simple majority vote on the 2026 November ballot. To get there, the coalition must first collect signatures from registered Oregon voters. This grassroots effort is crucial in building momentum for this critical initiative.
As we move forward with this campaign, it’s essential to remember that every individual deserves equal treatment under the law – regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, or reproductive choices. By standing together and demanding these fundamental rights be enshrined in our state constitution, we can create a more just and equitable society for all.
This is an opportunity for Oregonians to come together and show that we value diversity, inclusivity, and the well-being of every person living within our borders. Let’s make sure to get behind this campaign with enthusiasm and support!
