Here's a fun way to support your own interests and ability to know what's going on in Oregon. SPJ's crowdfunded white-hat lobbyist has played a crucial role helping lawmakers better understand bills promoting excessive secrecy. The result: major victories for the public good.
Our fundraiser is around the corner! Join us at Revolution Hall in Portland for a night of drinks, new and old friends, a silent auction—and more! Proceeds help us pay for a lobbyist in Salem, who champions bills that promote transparency and media access. eventbrite.com/e/sunshine-in…
