Thank you ADVOCACY team🐐

Project Highlights 🗣️

Organized a student-led ASUO Lobby Day at the State Capitol, where students advocated for legislation aligned with UO student priorities, including ICE protections, Open Primary elections, and a higher education study. Students lobbied for HB 4079, an ICE notification bill that became state law, requiring a comprehensive ICE Alerts system at public schools and universities.

When the federal government paused SNAP benefits in November 2025, ASUO launched a Week of Relief, providing daily meals and collecting donations. Before SNAP was restored, over 1,200 non-perishable food items were distributed and an average of 147 students were fed per event.

The Medication Abortion Action Fair, a collaboration between ASUO and the Medication Abortion Coalition, united campus reproductive health organizations to advocate for expanded services. Following a multi-year campaign, Medication Abortion services were won at UO starting Fall term.

The Advocacy Department hosted “Know Your Rights” trainings in partnership with local nonprofits and immigration lawyers, equipping students with practical knowledge and a resource toolkit to support affected communities.

Contributed to the Socialist Speaker Series and the Future of Work Conference, bringing speakers to campus to discuss social justice issues and community organizing.

The Street Safety Awareness Campaign, organized by ASUO and GTFF, promotes road and pedestrian safety through signage, outreach, and community events, encouraging shared responsibility among drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians to reduce accidents and create safer public spaces.
