Rural Organizing Project supports local human dignity groups in organizing their communities around a multi-issue platform of peace and justice.    Explore the links above for information on some of the cutting edge issues that we are especially focused on right now.

Dismantling the War at Home and Abroad

As we work to advance our progressive vision of rural Oregon founded in true democracy, human dignity, and justice, we see the war at home and abroad as our barrier. We are working to dismantle this war and the common systems and inequalities in power that have created the global war on "terror", the war in Iraq, and subsequent erosion of civil liberties, breakdown of the safety net, and targeting of immigrant communities. Our overarching strategy is to build a growing movement of rural people committed to global justice, peace, and real democracy that will be the undoing of all these wars.
