Student Lobby Day (2/14/24)
We are so excited to announce and invite students to participate in a Student Lobby Day on February 14th, hosted by the Oregon Student Association and the Oregon Student Public Interest Research Group!
Join us for a day of lobbying as we advocate for basic needs funding, textbook affordability, and right to repair legislation. This event is a fantastic opportunity for students to actively engage with their state legislators and advocate for important issues affecting their education and daily lives. This is your chance to voice your concerns, share your experiences, and contribute to positive change for students in Oregon during the 2024 Legislative Session!
