As you may notice we’ve made some changes this year compared to our previous Legislative Day of Action. This year, our Oregon Native Day of Legislative Action is hosted by NAYA Action Fund, Tribal Democracy Project, and Future Generations Collaborative to advance solutions to Indigenous issues throughout the state of Oregon that align with our community’s values. We invite Native-identifying folks from throughout Oregon to join us in Salem to advocate for solutions on the issues that impact you most to your respective legislators.
Don’t worry! No prior advocacy experience is necessary! NAYA Action Fund is hosting two trainings to help prepare you prior to the lobby day. One virtual training will be offered on Saturday April 19th from 11-12:30 PM. An in person training will be offered for those living outside the Portland area in Warm Springs on March 26th from 5-8PM at Warm Springs Community Center Social Hall. It is required to attend one of the trainings prior to the day of the event to ensure all participants are well prepared! After you’ve completed the training, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with your elected officials and connect with other advocates on the day of our Native Day of Legislative Action!
