5-minute activism

Being an activist doesn’t take a lot of time

Here are some effective actions you can take in less than five minutes:

Let the state of Oregon donate money for you

The state of Oregon gives couples a $100 tax credit every year for donating to political causes.  (It’s $50 for singles)  So every dollar reduces your state tax by a dollar.  It’s essentially free money: you’re just loaning the state the money until you do your taxes.

Here are more details.

Visit our one-stop Donation Site to support our great slate of candidates.

If you’d like to keep your money here locally, we suggest giving to the Democratic Party of Clackamas County.  Go to their web site and look for the Contribute link on the right.

If you’d prefer to give money to the state party look for the Contribute link here.

Write a letter to the Wilsonville Spokesman

It’s not difficult to get your letter published in the Spokesman.  Submit it here.

Tell your representatives what you think.

Call or email to let them know you approve or disapprove of what they’re doing.  Here are phone numbers for their local offices:
