Did you know that until recently the Oregon State Legislature’s Environmental Caucus has never had dedicated staff?
Legislators tasked with passing vital climate legislation have only had the overworked staffers of individual legislators trying to do this monumental task, and therefore have only been able to accomplish a fraction of what they could have.
Individual members of the MCAT Steering Committee, and the Steering Committee as a whole, have made donations to this important new fund.
Please join us and make a donation to the Environmental Caucus’s newly formed PAC, Oregonians Activated for Climate (OAC PAC). Thank you!
