The ACLU of Oregon often takes positions on state, city, and county proposals that would have an impact on civil liberties and civil rights. The ACLU is strictly nonpartisan; we never support or oppose candidates for elective office.
Senate Bill 321 would improve Oregon's post-conviction DNA statute, enabling justice for the wrongfully convicted, victims, and the people of Oregon.
Senate Bill 498 would prohibit jails and prisons from receiving money from the excessive fees placed on phone calls made by incarcerated people in Oregon. This is a commonsense way to reduce the cost of communication with the outside world, which is crucial to their health well-being.
Senate Bill 488 would require access to an annual flu shot for individuals incarcerated in Oregon's prisons and jail. Providing the flu vaccine to all incarcerated Oregonians is both cost effective and a humane way to avoid senseless death and suffering.
Senate Bill 52 would require school districts to adopt a policy on student suicide prevention. Every student should feel safe, supported, and affirmed at school.
Senate Bill 608 would prohibit no-cause evictions of tenants in Oregon after 12 months of occupancy. SB 608 is an important bill to prevent housing discrimination, promote equity in housing, and protect renters' rights to individually and collectively advocate for better living conditions.
House Bill 2515 would require correctional facilities in Oregon to provide feminine hygiene products at no cost to people currently incarcerated in Oregon. This is a necessary step toward ensuring that the health and dignity of Oregonians are not sacrificed at the prison door.
