We are working hard to defeat M61. To keep you up-to-date on the campaign, we created the Ballot Measure Center to provide all the information, analysis and discussion necessary to help you and other Oregon voters understand the complex circumstances surrounding the issues on the ballot this November. In the Ballot Measure Center, you’ll find a wide range of information to help you better understand the crime related ballot measures, their projected impacts, and the politics behind them. You will also find positions that PSJ is taking on other ballot measures, along with plenty of information on how to support our election-related organizing efforts.

Community groups, including PSJ, join together to present Ballot Measure Forums in Portland on October 7 and 16th. Learn more about how this year's ballot measures could change our lives and communities.
