NO KINGS has asked HCAO to show a presence at their Civic Engagement event at Benson High School and we could not be more excited. NO KINGS events attract thousands of people from all over Portland who are people who want to engage with us. Is this your first tabling activity you have participated in? Have no fear, this is one of the most friendly events you can go to. People want to engage but generally truly do just want to get more involved. We have several shifts available. Folks will get there at 9am to set up for the day, although the event starts at 10am. We hope to see you all there. Please email Jackie with any questions you have at: Portlandchapter@hcao.org

HCAO is committed to advocating for a universal healthcare system that is equitable to all. We believe that should include a progressive tax, meaning that to be equitable, those who can afford to pay more, should. Further, we believe value based care needs to be taken off the table.  Let's make our voices heard at the next governance board meeting to say we want progressive taxation and to remove value based care from the plan. Join us for a fun night of sign making as we prepare for packing the room at the next governance board meeting! Time to have our voices heard!

Join us again for another Portland Meeting and Social Event. We are committed to continue to educate you on the work of the governance board as they build this monumental plan to bring all Oregonians equitable, affordable universal healthcare. Learn about what HCAO is up to and how we are working to lead the fight in getting this bill passed in 2028! Also meet some great people. We always start the meeting off at the North Portland library in their conference room on the second floor. After our meeting, we walk right across the street to McMenamins for a fun evening of hanging out. Want to meet some amazing people that care about other people? We would love to have you join us.  If you have any questions, please email Jackie at portlandchapter@hcao.org
