The ACLU of Oregon is proud to be featured in Willamette Week’s Give!Guide. This year, we have an ambitious and critical goal of raising $75,000 to fuel our work to protect democracy.
Give!Guide is Willamette Week’s annual effort to raise funds for — and draw attention to — the good works of local nonprofits. The grassroots campaign is supported by numerous local businesses, provides healthy incentives to donors, and emphasizes giving under the age of 36 to build a culture of community engagement. This campaign runs November 1 through December 31, 2026.
GIVE TO THE ACLU OF OREGON THROUGH THE GIVE!GUIDE TODAY!
“I give ACLU of Oregon my time, service, and donations to advance and defend local liberty and democracy. For our transgender and immigrant neighbors who are especially targeted by an aggressively authoritarian federal regime, the ACLU is a crucial shield. In the streets, courthouse, and statehouse, we rally the power of more than 52,000 supporters statewide for every fight— for all of us. Together, we make Oregon more than a state: we make it a home.”
– C. Nathan Harris, they/them, ACLU of Oregon Board of Directors Secretary and Vice President
