Help reduce gun violence today:

Call your legislators

You are ready to take action to stop gun violence. Here's how to contact your legislators and make your voice heard. Oregon's Senators are: Senator Ron Wyden: (503) 326-7525 Senator Jeff Merkley: (503) 326-3386 Oregon's Representatives are: Rep. Suzanne Bonamici: (503) 469-6010 Rep. Greg Walden: (541) 389-4408 Rep. Earl Blumenauer: (503) 231-2300 Rep. Peter DeFazio: (541) 465-6732 Rep. Kurt Schrader: (503) 557-1324 When you call, identify yourself as a constituent. If you are speaking with a staff member, be polite and ask the person's name. Chances are, you'll be speaking with that person again. Give a clear and simple message like "Please vote NO on Bill XYZ." Ask if you can be called back about the issue. If you are uncomfortable talking to a staff member, call after hours and leave a message. It still counts!
