How Will The SAVE America Act Affect All Oregonians?
The SAVE America Act would hurt the voting rights of:
Service men and women, rural communities, married women, older Oregonians, those with disabilities, persons of color, students and many others.
It will make it harder, and in some cases impossible, to vote. Millions and millions of eligible voters in America could lose their voting rights if this becomes law.

April Speaker Series
Tim Gleason talks freedom of the press under the first amendment
Join us Tuesday, April 28 when Tim Gleason, professor emeritus and former dean of the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication, examines the current state of freedom of the press under the first amendment.
The United States has experienced a steep decline in press freedom in the past year. Changes under the current administration were cited as a primary factor, including funding cuts to public media, the closure of Voice of America, and the stigmatization of critical journalism.
