    Statewide plan to meet educational needs and address systemic disparities that impact Pacific Islander and Native Hawaiian students in Oregon.

  • HB 4002 Farm worker overtime
    Ensures that farmworkers are compensated for any of their labor that exceeds their maximum hours.
  • Oregon Worker Relief Fund
    Provides temporary financial relief to those who have lost wages in Oregon to COVID-19 and are ineligible for financial assistance from the federal and state programs due to their immigration status.

Communities are still vulnerable to COVID-19, and it still has deep impacts on our people. We only have a few short weeks to change that.

  • Directs PUC and utilities to establish rate relief specific for weather-related bill spikes.


Democracy Rights:

With another noteworthy election coming up, it’s important that everyone’s rights are protected and uplifted so we can all participate in democracy.

  • HB 4147 Restoration of Voting
    Ensures that Oregonians who are convicted of a felony to register to vote, update voter registration and vote in elections while incarcerated.


APANO is also proud to support:
