In just days, we expect that the Oregon Senate will take part in a historic vote on Civil Unions. We will get very little advance notice of the date or time of the vote, but watch your email closely (If you are not subscribed to our e-newsletter visit www.basicrights.org to sign-up)! You'll get breaking news as soon as we know when the vote will take place. Plan now to join us when it happens. You won't want to miss this historic moment.

But, remember, a vote in the Senate is just the first step. We still have to get civil unions (SB 1073) through the Oregon House. With less than 3 weeks left in the this legislative session, time is of the essence. Civil unions must become the law in the next few weeks before the legislature adjourns. Your action today can decide the outcome of this fight and make civil unions a reality in Oregon.

Even if you have called or written before, even if you believe that your legislators will already vote the right way, the stakes are too high to do anything but lobby as hard as we can!

Take Action Now!

Through our partners at Onward Oregon, you have already generated more than 700 emails to Oregon legislators. Now, in the final days of the legislative session we need to pull out all the stops. Can we make it 1000? Or more?

Take Action Now!
