In 2022, a majority of Oregonians voted to bring an end to obstructionist walkouts. In 2023, “a majority of Oregonians support the measures that Republican and Independent lawmakers are stalling.” @ORSenateGOP: it's time to get back to work. #orpol #orleg koin.com/news/politics/orego…

This shutdown hurts the people. Schools, hospitals, public safety, mental health funding, addiction treatment infrastructure, support for foster kids, & more are all in danger of losing out as a result of the Republican Senate shutdown. #orpol #orleg #Oregon #PeopleOverPolitics

Since Roe was overturned violent threats against abortion providers have spiked in Oregon. The Reproductive Health & Access to Care Bill (HB 2002) helps protect providers' physical safety. This has always been about providers being able to do their jobs. #orleg #orpol

The Republican Senate shutdown may have a horrific impact on the Oregonians who need help most. Climate legislation, healthcare legislation, education funding & legislation to support our towns and communities are being held up….. all because of the shutdown. #orpol #orleg

It’s time for legislators to come together, do what’s right for our communities and return to work on behalf of people facing hunger in Oregon. Will you help to end the Republican walkout by contacting your legislator? #orleg bit.ly/45qB1Ma

We need to make it easier for workers to join unions, not harder. But the @ORSenateGOP doesn’t care and has walked off the job instead of voting on a bill to make public sector union elections fairer for working people. @Oregon_AFSCME ➡️fairshotoregon.org/action #ORpol #ORleg

Senators who walk off the job are walking away from their responsibility to the million+ Oregonians who will seek food assistance this year. Tell our legislators to do what’s right and come back to work on behalf of people facing hunger in Oregon. bit.ly/45zHsfT #orleg
