The two biggest problems facing our country—and the world—are runaway climate change and rising inequality. We can’t solve one without addressing the other.

If we eliminate racism and poverty but do nothing to address climate pollution, we’ll all be equal on a planet plagued by floods, drought, disease, and disasters. And we can’t win on climate unless we build a bigger and broader movement that meets the needs of the hardest-hit Americans.

We’re working to turn the tide on both fronts. Join us!

The Nature Conservancy’s mission is to protect the lands and waters on which all life depends, and for nearly 60 years, we’ve been working in Oregon to do just that.

Our Priorities in Oregon:

Forests - We’re bringing diverse stakeholders together to protect and restore our forests and the communities around them.

The Oregon Sierra Club is a non-profit member-supported, public interest organization that promotes conservation of the Oregon natural environment by influencing public policy decisions—legislative, administrative, legal, and electoral.

Named “the most influential environmental organization” in an Aspen Institute poll, the Sierra Club gives the public the information and the means to make their voices heard.

BeCause Water is a movement for water sustainability, and our mission is to connect people to the power of water.

The focus is replacing unnecessary bottled water consumption by increasing awareness, access and engagement of local, clean drinking water. We connect people to water and one another through events, media, fundraising, and other solutions, as well as connecting businesses and consumers to innovative solutions for water sustainability.

Policies enacted at the local, state and national levels shape the future of solar energy, and so we at Solar CitiSuns provide opportunities for citizens to make their voices heard at the Public Utilities Commission, in the state legislature, in local governments and in other venues. We raise our voices together to support solar energy because it emits no harmful air pollution and is a key tool to avoid catastrophic climate change.
