Dear Oregon,
The next fight is already being drafted.
And this time, we intend to be ready before it starts.
For too long, ordinary Oregonians have been forced to play defense.
A bad bill drops. A new tax appears. Another regulation threatens our families, businesses, or communities.
We get angry. We organize. We raise money. We gather signatures. We fight like hell.
And then, when the fight is over, everyone goes home.
Meanwhile, the special interests pushing bigger government, higher taxes, and more regulation never go home.
They organize year-round.
It’s time we do too.
Today, we’ve launched the Oregon Freedom Coalition Membership Program – the next step toward building the largest permanent grassroots movement in Oregon history.
And I’m asking you to be one of the Oregonians who builds it.
We’ve already proven what organized Oregonians can do.
Together, we’ve gathered hundreds of thousands of signatures and shown Salem something it desperately needed to see:
The people of Oregon are not powerless.
But winning one fight isn’t enough.
We need the organization, resources, and people in place to fight before, during, and after every battle.
That’s what membership makes possible.
For as little as $5 a month, you can become a Grassroots Member and help build a permanent organization capable of holding Salem accountable; and when the Legislature refuses to listen, you can be part of taking the fight directly to the people.
But membership isn’t simply another donation.
You’re joining the team.
Members will know what’s coming before the general public. You’ll receive legislative analysis in plain English, policy explainers and ballot guides, members-only briefings and webinars, early petition notifications, action alerts, invitations to OFC events, and first notice when we need volunteers on the ground.
And for Oregonians who want an even greater role, we’re launching Frontline Membership at $25 a month.
Frontline Members don’t just hear about the strategy.
They get a seat at the table.
That includes regional strategy calls with OFC leadership, opportunities to help shape legislative and ballot priorities, direct access to our team, priority registration for events and briefings, and our post-session accounting of what we won, what we lost, and where the resources went.
Because if you’re helping fund this organization, you deserve to know what we’re doing with it.
This is bigger than membership.
We’re building something Oregon has been missing for decades.
A permanent grassroots organization that can mobilize citizens across all 36 counties.
An organization that can walk the halls of the Capitol when lawmakers are listening and organize thousands of Oregonians when they aren’t.
An organization that doesn’t disappear when an election ends or a petition drive is finished.
Every victory builds the next.
We lead on important issues.
We deliver results.
We earn trust.
We grow.
And then we come back stronger for the next fight.
That’s how we reclaim Oregon.
That’s how we build an Oregon that is accountable, affordable, responsible, and safe – a state where families can afford to live, work, raise their children, build businesses, and retire.
This is your invitation to have real skin in the game.
Join us.
The next fight is already being drafted.
Let’s be ready.
Sincerely,
Ed Diehl
President
Oregon Freedom Coalition
