The Elders in Action Commission Reminds You:

It's Time to Vote YES for Services

The fight to protect Oregon's senior services, public safety, and schools has just become more exciting. We only have until 8pm on January 26th to get our ballots in. Please take the time today to remind your friends, family, and co-workers to join the Elders in Action Commission in protecting vital senior services, and to turn in their ballot by mail, at any library branch, or their local elections office.

Now is the time to get involved and make sure voters all over Oregon know only a YES vote will protect nearly $1 billion in essential services we care about, including education and other services for children, funding for lifesaving prescription drugs and home care that helps low-income seniors remain independent. Please contact the YES campaign today to get involved with the phone banking and neighborhood walk events.

Already, over 600 Oregonians have volunteered, and hundreds more have given time through more than 200 coalition partners including the Elders in Action Commission. The YES campaign is hoping to have the biggest canvass in Oregon history as part of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. Please join them from 10am-2pm at the YES headquarters (411 NE 19th Ave, Portland, OR 97232) to make an impact for this important victory.
