Basic Rights Oregon
Mission
Basic Rights Oregon will ensure that all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Oregonians experience equality by building a broad and inclusive politically powerful movement, shifting public opinion, and achieving policy victories.
Bottom Line for Portland
We're working tirelessly to beat back the Trump administration's attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, particularly around the rights of trans youth to access life-saving health care and participate in school activities. Portland is a beacon and a haven for queer people and BRO is fighting to make sure it stays that way.
Quote
“In 2022 my family moved to Oregon from Utah. We left friends, family, community, the place where our babies were born - all looking for safety for our family. Thanks to organizations like BRO, Oregon is a sanctuary for families like ours, a place where we can find community, enjoy nature, and live authentically out loud without fear.” Kat Martinez, Basic Rights Oregon volunteer
