The Bus Project Information

The Bus made great strides this year to engage, empower and educate young leaders, and we've got a strong crew to jump into summer organizing and host the 11th anniversary of PolitiCorps Summer. Here's a quick lowdown on what we're currently working on:PolitiCorps kicked off today! Bus Project Leadership Development Coordinator Amy Kessler has brought together a mighty impressive cohort for our annual summer fellowship program, and they're gearing up for ten weeks of registering voters, talkin' civic engagement, and picking up the skills necessary to be the next generation of Oregon's leaders. Last week, the Bus Project and our trusty volunteers called over 1000 Oregonians to lobby their legislators in support of our #FreshStartOregon campaign to expunge obsolete nonviolent marijuana charges. We made the local news, and Rick Steves (yes, that Rick Steves) gave our expungement bill a shoutout in the Oregonian. Help us get to 2,000 signatures and sign our petition. We're in the early stages of stitching together plans to coordinate with our partners and ensure that our historic New Motor Voter legislation will empower hundreds of thousands of Oregonians to participate in upcoming elections. Stay tuned.Thanks to your generosity, the Bus Project's Membership Drive last week was a resounding success. We picked up dozens of new monthly donors who will help us fund all of our work to get young Oregonians registered and ready to vote and, ultimately, go change the world. Thanks for your support.
