“Oregon has the best abortion policy in the country, and it is among the states with the best LGBTQ protections in the country,” Blair Stenvick, the communications manager of Basic Rights Oregon, told me. “No, we didn’t get there by accident.” Must read:

Thank you to all the Senators and Representatives for their commitment to protecting and expanding access to reproductive and gender-affirming care with the passage of the Reproductive Health and Access to Care Bill (HB 2002)!

ICYMI: HB 2002 HAS PASSED! 🎉 Together, we held tight to our Oregon values and protected and expanded access to reproductive and gender-affirming care. #orpol #orleg

Together, we protected and expanded access to reproductive and gender-affirming care. Thank you to our coalition partners, advocates, and lawmakers for their tireless commitment to passing this bill. We did it ❤️ #orpol #orleg

🙌 Together, we have moved Oregon forward on access to abortion and gender-affirming health care. Read the full statement at This week we celebrate this victory for our communities, but the fight is far from over.

“Our rights, freedoms and liberties are not up for negotiation.” THAT PART. Senate Republicans: Oregonians' lives are at stake. #StopTheSabotage and show up to do the job you were elected to do. #orpol #orleg

Senate Republicans are holding Oregon hostage instead of doing the jobs they were elected to do. Too much is at stake. It's time to #StopTheSabotage and come back to work. #orpol #orleg

Democrats and Oregon leaders gathered in Salem today to call on @ORSenateGOP to #StopTheSabotage. Too many important bills are in limbo because they refuse to get back to work. #orpol #orleg

👀 “But when time came for public comment, people in the room stood up one after the other to tell Republicans to stop staging a tantrum over bills they don’t like and get back on the job.” #orpol #orleg

RT @ORHouseDems: The @ORSenateGOP is abandoning their districts-- & sacrificing their jobs--over abortion rights. If @SenatorKnopp wants to…

BREAKING: When @ORSenateGOP don't show up, they now must pay up! They owe Oregonians real representation in Salem, not shutting down state government to deny our communities the reproductive health care we need. #orpol #orleg

The @ORSenateGOP is blocking dozens of critical bills including medically necessary care for transgender Oregonians. Shoutout to Blair, Todd, and the team @basicrights for this 🔥🔥🔥 op-ed in the @Oregonian. Your voices matter and deserve to be heard.

The @ORSenateGOP made a choice to walk out on their jobs AND their constituents. Now they will face the consequences: They can’t serve next term. Case closed. #orpol #orleg

🗣️ ICYMI: Republican Senators announced earlier this week that they intend to not return to work until June 25, leaving a number of critical bills in limbo. 💥 Take action now. Tell your legislator to get back to the job they were elected to do.

"The bottom line is a simple one: Those who work for the people need to get back to work." The @lagrandenews with a powerful editorial calling on @SenatorKnopp and the @ORSenateGOPto get back to work. #orpol #orleg

In @SenatorKnopp’s own district, residents endured their worst drought in state history. What is he doing to help? Walking off the job and blocking drought and wildfire protection. #orpol #orleg

This walkout is not just blocking abortion access and marriage equality protection – it’s stalling progress on housing stability, wildfire and drought protection, affordable childcare and healthcare. @ORSenateGOP: #OregonCantWait for you to get back to work. #orleg #orpol
