Topic

Close Oregon's disability employment gap

  • Oregon needs a practical, measurable strategy for recruitment, hiring, retention, and advancement.
  • The bill treats people with disabilities as talent, not as an afterthought.

What to ask for

  • Publicly support the Oregon Workforce Opportunity Act.
  • Champion implementation with clear hiring and reporting targets.
