This is a special Thank You to everyone who took part in Monday's hearing in Salem at the Oregon State Capitol. You stood up and it happened. Because you, the Oregon State Tenants Association (OSTA) made waves during the kickoff hearing of House Bill HB 3054. 

Your willingness to fill the testimony rooms to overflowing and don cow hats is how we fight for tenant rights. You'll hear about our colorful, energetic gathering and the remarkable strides we've made with this groundbreaking legislation, the first of its kind to progress this far in years. We'll explore the potential impact of the CPI cost cap and the necessary amendments on the horizon. What you did is a shining example of grassroots activism at its finest, punctuated by moments of camaraderie and determination.

One highlight is the surprising lengths some will go to to silence tenants. From a bizarre offer in Forest Grove, Oregon, where tenants were tempted with $26 annually to stay out of advocacy activities, to broader questions of industry self-regulation, our conversation is both eye-opening and empowering. Thank you to all who stood up and made a difference.

If you took pictures and want to share them, send them to us. Especially any of us in the "cow hats." We will keep you posted.
