Climate can't wait. We must act now!

On Monday, we joined Climate Action Campaign and 13 other leading climate and conservation orgs for the No Denying Climate Change Town Hall with guest speaker Congresswoman Maxine Dexter, M.D..

During another hot day in Portland, community members packed the house and came together to learn more about how we can hold government accountable for meeting climate goals, while protecting our public health and environment.

OEC was proud to be a co-sponsor and part of the conversation. Thank you to all who attended!
