Join ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½â€™s Day at the Capitol lobby event and make a difference

Story by James Hill

Join us for lobby event! Together we’ll travel to Salem to meet face-to-face with legislators and tell them why affordable, accessible education matters to our community. Share your personal story of how ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½ has made a difference in your life and make your voice heard.

Your advocacy is critical as we urge the state to invest in ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½ students. As the largest institution of higher education in the state, ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½ helps create opportunities for over 50,500 students each year – many of whom are the first in their families to attend college.

What is a lobby day and why does it matter?

Every day Oregon State legislators meet with different groups requesting support. ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½ will be meeting with legislators on April 5 to ask them to fight hard for community college funding. An increase in state funding helps ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½ avoid costly tuition increases, helps to retain staff and faculty, and ensure that we can provide equitable access to education for years to come. Be an advocate for ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½ and share your story. Help us urge legislators to invest in ¶¶Òõ¸£Àûµ¼º½ students and fully fund community colleges.
