Basic Rights Oregon Voter Guide!
We don’t have to tell you that this election on November 3 will have incredible repercussions not just for the LGBTQ community but for all Oregonians.
That’s why the Basic Rights Oregon Equality PAC has been hard at work, interviewing pro-LGBTQ candidates in local and statewide races. You can find the complete list of Equality PAC candidate endorsements and greenlights here.
There are a number of ballot measures that also have so much at stake for our communities, which is why we’re supporting:
Yes on Measure 110: Measure 110 will shift us from punishing drug addiction to using a health-based, treatment-first approach, focusing on treatment, not criminalization. It’s a more humane, effective approach that will save lives. Learn more at: https://voteyeson110.org/
Yes on Measure 26-217 (Portland): Measure 26-217 is a major step forward to increase transparency and accountability in policing. It’s time for citizen oversight, and Measure 26-217 will provide this. Learn more: https://realpoliceaccountability.org/
Approve Referendum 90 Washington: Referendum 90 will uphold the new Washington state law requiring all public schools to teach age-appropriate, inclusive, comprehensive sexual health education to K-12 students. Comprehensive sex education is vital for LGBTQ students, because when they see themselves represented in curriculum, they’re more affirmed outside of the classroom as well.
