2025 Oregon Legislative Session Begins January 25
The Sierra Club Oregon Legislative Committee (LegCom) works to ensure the Club makes a powerful impact on the Oregon Legislature. The 2025 session runs January 25 through June 29. This year is an odd-year “long session”, where more significant topics are considered and legislators introduce more bills — upwards of 40 bills per legislator — which means hundreds and hundreds of bills total. We need you to be a part of this important effort!
As the LegCom, we will:
- Testify on bills in person and virtually
- Write letters to legislators advocating the Chapter's positions
- Meet with legislators to discuss issues
- Send out alerts to supporters to contact their representatives
- Work with allies on shared goals
