Stand Up to Data Centers Oregon
Convening a statewide coalition to address the urgent needs in local communities and to build a comprehensive set of protections for all Oregonians, our environment, and our neighboring Tribal Nations.
Data Center Reform Fund
It’s clear that Oregon communities need stronger oversight tools to hold data center development accountable. That’s where we come in. 1000 Friends of Oregon is launching the Data Center Reform Fund to support legal advocacy, public-interest coordination, and community oversight in response to the rapid expansion of data center development across Oregon.
Together for an Affordable Portland
The Bull Run Water Filtration Plant is a multi-billion-dollar endeavor that is raising water rates by at least 9.8% annually, while also imposing outsized impacts on world-class farmland and unincorporated communities east of Portland. We have a different vision: One where we can all win.
Housing Solutions Center
Finding win-win solutions to meet the housing needs of all Oregonians in every community—including affordability, fairness, accessibility, and land stewardship.
