Health Equity

Unite Oregon works on the ground to ensure IR-BIPOC communities know their rights under Oregon law, and have access to healthcare. Our current work includes helping our communities recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and reproductive justice advocacy. We help meet our community members’ immediate needs and connect them to resources, advocacy opportunities, and leadership development opportunities.

Current Projects

In 2020, Unite Oregon worked with partners across the state to pass Measure 110, Oregon's Drug Treatment and Recovery Act, which provided a pathway to addiction recovery by decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of drugs, establishing addiction recovery centers across Oregon, and increasing the availability of treatment. Unite Oregon and the Health Justice Recovery Alliance are now partnering for the implementation process of this innovative new law. Together we are committed to ensuring that everyone has equitable access to the healing services they need in their recovery journey and that we are centering the folks most harmed by the war on drugs.
