    We have a dedicated team who provide training to our volunteers and planning for our events. Each community meeting includes a safety training segment.

    We have excellent training materials from national organizations, as well as our own local experts who know how to make these trainings fun!

    Being part of the Safety Team does not commit you to attending every event.

    The more people who receive this training, the better off we all are.

10 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT OUR ELECTIONS

(article by Marc Elias on DemocracyDocket.com)

USE YOUR VOICE

5 Calls is the easiest and most effective way for U.S. constituents to make a political impact.

Find your representative

They won't know what you want if you don't tell them.

Tell Congress and state officials to stop the Trump-Musk-Republican authoritarian takeover. If successful, they will unravel our government, endanger our safety and security, and steal our money.

 Senator Ron Wyden    202-224-5244 or 503-326-7525

 Senator Jeff Merkley     202-224- 3753 or 503-326-3386

 Representative Suzanne Bonamici   202-225-0855 or 503-469-6010

 Governor Tina Kotek    503-378-4582

 Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield       503-378-4400

1. It’s usually best to talk about only one topic each call, especially if you want the official to take specific action. Tell how the Trump-Musk-GOP actions are affecting you, your family, and community. It's best to use your own words.

2. Thank the official and staff if you like what they're doing.

3. Give your name and zip code so they know you're a constituent. Ask for a written response with the official’s position on the issue.


4. Call or email daily or as often as you can during the week, about a different topic each time.
