Update on Gun Safety Initiatives

So here is the latest on our common work with Lift Every Voice Oregon. Things are moving along very well with Initiative Petitions 17 and 18 moving to the Oregon Supreme Court. The Ballot Titles, a one-page explanation of each initiative, are proceeding through the approval process.  We are eager to start the major effort to collect 150,000 signatures by July 8, 2022, so our IPs will appear on the November 2022 Ballot. There is no set deadline for the Court to rule, but we hope there will be a decision issued by the end of September. LEVO is looking to raise $100,000 for the next 6 months for the signature gathering drive. It is expected to be a very expensive campaign. If you can make a donation, give online at LiftEveryVoiceOregon. Your contribution to LEVO, an Oregon PAC, will help fund their advocacy work and, therefore, qualify for an income tax credit to Oregon tax filers. If you are interested in gathering signatures over the next few months, contact Linden Crouch.
