Tools for Action

OLCV Education Fund makes it easy for you to take action on environmental legislation. We tell you what's happening, why it matters, and who to contact.

Your voice makes a difference.

Take the 2009 landmark legislation that permanently protects the Metolius River basin, an Oregon gem, from sprawling development. That bill passed the House by just one vote, when Rep. Galizio (D-Tigard) changed his nay to an aye.

“ I reconsidered my vote after an outpouring of people shared with me their profound personal stories about how the Metolius has affected their lives. Citizen voices truly can make the difference in how legislators vote.” — Rep. Larry Galizio (D-Tigard)

Here are some ways to act now:

• Attend one of our Events
• Use our Citizen Toolkit to contact your legislator, testify at a public hearing, or call into a talk-radio show.
• Find out who represents you and hold them accountable for their actions.
