OSTA Update: Register and Rally at the Capitol
Send us a text
The countdown is on! With just four days remaining until the critical State Senate hearing on housing legislation, the Oregon State Tenants Association is rallying supporters statewide to make their voices heard. This pivotal moment represents the culmination of years of organizing and advocacy work that could significantly impact tenant protections throughout Oregon.
In this urgent update, Bill Bateman provides essential information about the Wednesday, May 7th, hearing at the State Capitol, emphasizing the importance of submitting testimony and the power of physical presence. The iconic "cow hats" that made such an impression during previous legislative actions are encouraged again - a visual reminder that tenants refuse to be treated as mere sources of profit. Practical advice for attendees includes wearing sensible shoes (Salem isn't exactly parking-friendly!), bringing necessities like water, and preparing for whatever the day might bring.
Beyond showing up, this update offers strategic guidance for maximizing impact through direct communication with legislators. Individual emails that identify you as a constituent carry significant weight, particularly when directed to members of the Senate Housing Committee. The message is clear: now is the time to act, whether through written testimony, in-person appearance, or direct outreach to decision-makers. This isn't just another hearing - it's a potential turning point for tenant rights in Oregon.
Ready to make a difference? Links to testimony submission forms and senator contact information are below. Join OSTA at the Capitol on May 7th and help fill the building with supporters standing up for housing justice. Be there, be part of it, be part of the solution!
