Oregon Budget Advocacy Toolkit by Forward Together
How Does Oregon's Budget Work? How Can We Advocate for the Resources Our Communities Need?
Forward Together has put together a wonderful 2020 Oregon Budget Advocacy Toolkit (free).
The Oregon state budget provides resources for Oregon families - from schools to roads to addiction services. Forward Together's toolkit/workshop helps explain how the Oregon budget works, how the legislature approves the budget, and how you can weigh in.
Importantly, it reminds us that the state budget is a values document that establishes the priorities of our state. We must help shape the budget to ensure equitable investments that address disparities for our Latinx and fellow communities of color.
