Our Mission

Onward Oregon works to fulfill the promise of Oregon. We value social justice. Vibrant, successful public schools. Livable communities. Sustainable, living-wage jobs. A protected Environment. Access to quality health care. Smart Growth.

We see institutions and programs we value, some dating back to the 1930s' New Deal, being threatened or dismantled. We see opportunities lost and new solutions ignored.

Onward Oregon will focus our voices to defeat George Bush and Oregon's radical right. We'll promote issues and ideas that support our values. Inspired by the success of MoveOn, we think it's time for an Internet community that understands Oregon issues and national issues from an Oregonian perspective.

Onward Oregon exists to connect people in joined advocacy for progressive change in Oregon. We will build a powerful membership of Oregonians with shared values. We hope to give these members the opportunity to connect with each other both virtually, through our website, and in the real world, through meetups and events. We hope to bridge the divides—both cultural and geographic—that separate Oregon today.

2. looks good but suggestion

On the Apollo alliance, I want to see a goal of the Oregon university
system being the nation's R&D leader in alternative energy research.

Right now they seem to be thinking of going after high tech.
Wrong to me, OR will never come up to the likes of the top ten
engineering schools...

that said, they have multi-disciplary schools that are ripe to
form a basis to create this sort of research and I don't really
think there is a huge movement in academia on this topic...
I mean "some" yes, but no huge R&D effort to analyze alternative
energy and make it viable...as in the "race to mars" level of
investment.
