One of my favorite things about working at 1000 Friends of Oregon is getting to see this work up close. Every day, I’m reminded that land use decisions aren’t abstract: They shape the places where we live, work, and build our futures.
Your support helps make this work possible in communities across Oregon.
1000 Friends of Oregon is leading a coordinated response to the rapid expansion of data center development across Oregon. Working alongside farmers, farmworkers, local businesses, teachers, and other mission-based organizations, we are fighting for the future of all Oregonians.
Your support is also helping communities become more wildfire-resilient through our weekly storytelling project Wildfire Wednesday and the informational hub WildfireReadyOregon.org. It’s bringing Oregonians together through Transit Talks to imagine a transportation system that works for more people. It’s helping keep farms, forests, and other working lands in working hands. And it’s supporting the Housing Solutions Center as communities look for practical ways to create more housing.
Across all of our initiatives, we’re working toward the same goal: Building an Oregon where today’s choices create a stronger future for everyone. That’s why I’m excited about our summer Double the Impact campaign. Your support helps us show up—in communities, in the courts, and with and for the people who care deeply about Oregon’s future.
I’m grateful to be part of this work, and even more grateful to do it alongside people like you. Will you double your impact for Oregon’s future with a gift today?
