Mission Statement: We stand for access to quality human services for all those in need.
Our Aims
• Advocate for responsible revenue policy to avoid cuts to these essential services and achieve adequate, sustainable funding for human services throughout Oregon.
• Build a powerful grassroots movement which includes front line workers, service providers, clients, family members and advocates who share our vision.
• Raise standards for human service workers and stabilize the workforce by uniting the strength of thousands of currently unorganized human service workers with over 45,000 current members of SEIU Local 503. Together we will have the power to bargain for better wages, benefits and working conditions, and have an effective political voice to improve the system statewide.
Policymakers in Oregon are currently looking for a better way to deliver mental health and addictions services. We believe the workers who actually deliver these services have valuable insights and must be part of the solution. We are union (SEIU Local 503) and non-union workers who are coming together so we can improve the human services system for ourselves and our clients. Join Us!
We have a golden opportunity right now to improve human services in Oregon.
