This morning, with overwhelming support from the House and Senate, Governor Kulongoski signed the Oregon Safe Schools Act! Thanks to your hard work, ALL Oregon youth will benefit from strengthened anti-bullying policies this fall.

 

This is a substantial victory for LGBT youth—and it couldn’t have happened without fair-minded elected officials.

 

Let’s make sure that we continue to win victories for the LGBT community. Join us this month to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Stonewall and benefit Basic Rights Oregon PAC, which works to elect fair-minded candidates.
