Our nation is experiencing unprecedented job loss as our communities deal with a global health pandemic that is responsible for the deaths of more than 85,000 individuals in our country in just the past few months.

I’ve spoken with several Community Action Agencies in Northwest Oregon about the increased demand for their services in light of this pandemic.

The public health crisis precipitated by COVID-19 has further exposed longstanding, deep inequities in our economy and society.

The coronavirus crisis has hit the child care system especially hard, causing widespread layoffs and mandatory closures.

It is not only important for all Americans to have equal access to federal opportunities; it is equally important for the federal government to benefit from the contributions of a diverse group of people in this critical effort to address the largest public health crisis of our time.

We are facing an unprecedented health and economic crisis, and the historic unemployment levels over the last six weeks require an equally historic response.

Over the years, CareOregon has unwaveringly shared our commitment and goal of providing access to the full range of reproductive health services—including abortion—gender and trans-affirming care, and compassionate end-of-life care.

Federal agencies, along with states, international organizations, and others, play a significant role in researching, forecasting, monitoring, and responding to HABs and hypoxia.
