The May revenue forecast has been released for this year's legislative session, giving lawmakers the numbers they will use to finalize our state budget for the next two years. The outlook is bleak, coming in $755 million lower than expected–which is why it’s more important than ever to advocate for investments that build stronger, more resilient communities.
Speak up today to let legislators know how crucially important it is to prioritize climate justice this (and every) legislative session!
Key programs at risk without renewed investment include:
Rental and community heat pump programs that lower bills and protect people from extreme weather
Community Resilience Hubs that prepare and serve communities during extreme events
One-stop-shop resources to help families find and afford clean, efficient home upgrades
New programs that are critical for climate resilience include:
Creating an eelgrass task force to monitor and conserve an essential coastal resilience resource
A transportation system that puts Oregonians first and serves rural people and our most vulnerable communities
Add your own story about why climate justice matters to you and send this email to the Ways & Means committee co-chairs, as well as House and Senate leadership.

As an Oregonian, I urge you to support a strong Climate Resilience Budget in the 2025–27 biennium.

With your leadership, we’ve passed legislation that helps Oregon families to access more affordable, cleaner energy sources, better prepare for and respond to extreme weather, and breathe cleaner, safer air. But we still have work to do, and these programs need your continued support or we risk an enormous backslide.
Programs like heat pump assistance for renters and community resilience hubs are lowering energy bills, creating jobs, and protecting people from deadly weather events. These programs are working — but they need your support and sustained funding to keep delivering for Oregonians.
Please prioritize needed investments to keep these popular, high-impact programs running, including:
SB 5518: Rental and community heat pump programs
HB 3170: Community Resilience Hubs
HB 3081: One-Stop Shop 2.0
Support these new programs to make our communities more resilient to increasing climate impacts:
HB 3580: Establishes the Task Force on Eelgrass Resources
Invest in a transportation framework that puts Oregonians first by expanding rural public transit, making our streets safer for people walking and biking, and ensuring equitable funding
With climate impacts worsening and federal funding on the chopping block, Oregon’s leadership has never been more important. Please prioritize a state budget that protects our climate and our communities rather than adding to the chaos and uncertainty that many in our State are feeling.
Rogue Climate's mission is to empower Southern Oregon communities most impacted by climate change, including low-income, rural, youth, seniors, and communities of color, to win climate justice by organizing for clean energy, sustainable jobs, and a healthy environment.
We do so through leadership development, political education, fostering conversations, and campaigns for policies that benefit our communities over the special interests of the largest corporations.
