New Podcast Episode: An Inside Look At Oregon Labor Legislative Advocacy
Updated: Jul 8, 2022
We’re kicking off 2021 with an inside look at how Oregon unions plan to make progress for workers in our state legislature! Oregon AFL-CIO Political Director Jess Giannettino Villatoro and Lead Political & Policy Strategist Catie Theisen share their depth of advocacy experience and what they expect to see happen in Salem - even if it’s all on Zoom - this year. We discuss priority bills, the threat of violent extremism at the capital, and how union members can make a huge difference in passing critical policies by speaking out.
