Join PCC’s Day at the Capitol lobby event and make a difference

Story by James Hill

Join us for lobby event! Together we’ll travel to Salem to meet face-to-face with legislators and tell them why affordable, accessible education matters to our community. Share your personal story of how ±¬ÁÏÍø has made a difference in your life and make your voice heard.

Your advocacy is critical as we urge the state to invest in ±¬ÁÏÍøstudents. As the largest institution of higher education in the state, ±¬ÁÏÍøhelps create opportunities for over 50,500 students each year – many of whom are the first in their families to attend college.

What is a lobby day and why does it matter?

Every day Oregon State legislators meet with different groups requesting support. ±¬ÁÏÍøwill be meeting with legislators on April 5 to ask them to fight hard for community college funding. An increase in state funding helps ±¬ÁÏÍøavoid costly tuition increases, helps to retain staff and faculty, and ensure that we can provide equitable access to education for years to come. Be an advocate for ±¬ÁÏÍøand share your story. Help us urge legislators to invest in ±¬ÁÏÍøstudents and fully fund community colleges.

How can I participate?

Simply fill out the participation request form above and tell us a little bit about yourself. We also want to know how ±¬ÁÏÍøhas made a difference in your life.
