Background

Everyone deserves to reach their full potential and THRIVE in America.

No matter what we look like, we deserve a government that invests in us – going beyond COVID rescue/recovery to build a society with racial, economic, and gender justice.

No matter where we live, we deserve solutions to inequities and structural racism that are based in dignified work, healthy communities, and a stable climate.

No matter who we vote for, we deserve to live free from gun and police violence targeting communities of color.

No matter our bank balance, we deserve a court system that grows with our country and addresses racial/economic disparities causing injustice.

We voted in record numbers to make this happen. President Biden, VP Harris, and Congressional Democrats have plans to help us THRIVE. Elected Republicans in Congress and statehouses are working to keep us from thriving – fomenting insurrection based on white supremacy, voting against COVID relief, stripping away the freedom to vote – targeting communities of color.

Senators Merkley and Wyden with Representatives Blumenauer and Bonamici are on record supporting the THRIVE agenda. Make calls to support them, ask Representatives DeFazio, Schrader, and Bentz to join them.

Take action with Indivisible Oregon to help America THRIVE.
