Why Support Restore Oregon?
As a state, we’re in a seminal period – one with the potential to broaden opportunity – or widen inequality. Where so many choices about our future rely on how we make sense of our past, right now.
Whether we choose to advocate for all of our neighborhoods, parks, gardens, and the memories they’re made of – or just some – relies on understanding that only when we share everyone’s stories can we understand who we truly are – and make the vital decisions that move us all forward. Fail – and we lose an essential part of ourselves – and our collective history – that we can’t ever get back.
Restore Oregon makes it our mission to ask questions and invite conversations that challenge conventional thinking. To listen to everyone’s memories and stories – and share them with the state. To collaborate with a diverse mix of citizens, public servants, organizations, and neighborhoods to ensure our Oregon is a place we can all call home. When that happens, we honor the beautifully complicated character that is Oregon. We honor one another. We honor ourselves.
