Announcing Our 2023 Legislative Agenda

The Coalition of Communities of Color is proud to release our priority legislative agenda for the 2023 Oregon Legislative Session.

Every session, CCC engages throughout the legislative process to pass bills that increase opportunity and advance racial justice for communities of color.

Our agenda is made up of legislation identified by our members, who work directly with communities to build solutions that will enable Black, Indigenous, and other Oregonians of color to thrive.

You can learn more about our endorsement process here.
