It's time to travel somewhere over the rainbow in 2026. Join Basic Rights Oregon for our Statewide Action Summit (SAS) 2026, with the theme Beyond the Rainbow: Rise Up, Fight Back!

Amid an increasingly dark and stormy political climate for LGBTQ2SIA+ folks and our accomplices, queer and trans folks continue to shine through. And what do you get when you mix storms and sunshine? A rainbow: the enduring symbol of our community's joy, and our strength in diversity. 

At SAS 2026, we'll be building on that strong foundation the rainbow represents, and going even further through organizing, educating, and collaborating. Come to see familiar queer conspirators and meet new ones; attend workshops to strengthen your organizing and advocacy skills; and learn about the goals on our horizon. 

When we work together, we can't be stopped or erased. As gay ally icon Judy Garland put it, in this space beyond the rainbow, “skies are blue, and the dreams that you dream of really do come true.”

Taking place in Corvallis, SAS 2026 starts in the afternoon of April 10, and concludes with a full day on April 11.
