SOCAN Tracking More Than 70 Legislative Bills

6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
April 22

Medford Library

Attend SOCAN’s Salem Legislative Advocacy 2025 event to learn what’s unfolded over the past three months, hear highlight on key wins and ongoing challenges, and ask questions and join in a community dialogue.

SOCAN’s Federal and State Project Team continues to play a pivotal role during Oregon’s legislative sessions. As this team navigates the 2025 Legislative Session, it is currently tracking more than 70 bills addressing greenhouse gas reduction, climate adaptation, and individual action. Of particular concern are several proposals aimed at reversing Oregon’s 1980 ballot measure, which prohibits the development of nuclear energy facilities without a verified, safe method of waste disposal.

With the invaluable support of eight dedicated volunteers, SOCAN submitted more than 120 public comments this session. Collective efforts have already made a difference — several harmful bills failed to move forward after the March 21 deadline.
