We of the Pacific Green Party are part of a national and international movement: one which began with a desire to address environmental issues such as climate change and over-reliance on fossil fuels. In addition, we stand against authoritarianism, racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, islamophobia, fascism, and endless war. Social justice is more to us than just a punchline.
Our desire to offer true opposition to the duopoly and business as usual are embodied more locally in our support for:
Ranked Choice Voting (Measure 117): We have already supported this crucial repair to our broken election system in cities like Portland and Corvallis. Now we join with citizens around the state to expand RCV: to better bring every Oregonian true representation, high-quality candidates, and improved voter participation. We want to make sure that no voter will ever again be backed into voting against what they hate. Voters deserve the right to vote FOR what they want.
Measure 118: The Oregon People’s Rebate, which you can read about elsewhere in this Voters’ Guide. We believe more money should be in the pockets of the average Oregonian. Not in those of wealthy corporations, which all too often funnel dollars out of state and actively work against our local interests.

Outside the Portland-Metro area, we worked to support Oregon tribes, along with ranchers, fisherman, and traditional environmentalists to turn back the harmful Jordan Cove Energy Project. This extractive nightmare threatened Coos Bay as well as other communities both in and out of state.
We join our national candidates, Dr. Jill Stein and Professor Randolph T. (“Butch”) Ware in calling for an immediate ceasefire in Palestine. We oppose genocide and rampant militarism both at home and abroad.
We strive to make the slogan “People, Planet, Peace” a reality for the citizens and residents of Oregon. As well as those around the United States and worldwide.
