Dear Voornaam, As families across Oregon head back to school, we wanted to highlight some successes for Public Education this year. Oregon Democrats recently reaffirmed our commitment to supporting public education at our Platform Convention, and we will be pursuing progressive policy initiatives that will continue to improve and strengthen education in Oregon. Will you help us make sure we achieve our policy goals by making a donation today? Earlier this year, Democratic legislators and our Governor made the largest investment in K-12 schools in state history and: Expanded coverage of school meal costsPassed the Early Literacy Success Initiative to invest in culturally-responsive reading instructionAddressed Oregon's education workforce shortage Passed civil rights protections so all students with disabilities are guaranteed access to full-time school days Oregon Democrats enthusiastically support doing what it takes to strengthen our public education system. We look forward to working to elect Democrats up and down the ballot to make sure our state continues to move forward for all students, educators, and their families. We also look forward to launching our massive volunteer effort soon - the Neighborhood Leader Program - which is proven to increase voter turnout to make sure our Democratic ticket wins, so that our students can too. Please consider making a donation today to support the Democratic Party as we gear up to launch our 2024 effort! Yours, Oregon Democrats |
