Did you know that you can make a donation to Planned Parenthood PAC of Oregon…at no cost to you?
It’s true! Every year, the Oregon Political Tax Credit allows individual Oregonians to give $50 to their favorite political cause and receive this full amount back at tax time. (Couples filing jointly can get a refund for up to $100!) In other words, the state gives you a $50 or $100 gift to donate to the political cause of your choice. It’s a full 100% dollar-for-dollar credit, not a deduction!
In the 2020 election, our very rights and freedoms are on the line. Who we elect will determine our access to abortion, birth control, cancer screenings, sex education and more. Donald Trump and his buddies in Congress and state legislatures have done everything they can to strip us of our rights and access to health care, but Planned Parenthood PAC of Oregon has mobilized voters to come together and emphatically send a message: The Trump administration’s destructive agenda is not welcome in Oregon.
- Last year, we defeated the anti-abortion Measure 106, earning more votes than any other issue or candidate on the entire ballot. We also re-elected Governor Kate Brown, who is shielding Oregonians from the impact of Trump’s unethical gag rule.
- This year, we successfully campaigned for school board candidates across the state who believe our young people deserve medically accurate sex education to protect their health and plan their futures.
- Next year, we will use every tool at our disposal to hit the pavement, flood the airwaves and elect reproductive freedom champions at all levels of government — and in every corner of the state.
Most importantly, Planned Parenthood PAC of Oregon plays a key role in holding politicians accountable. Our lawmakers work for us — and if they don’t protect our health, rights and communities, we’ll make sure they pack their bags.

Share Your Story!Oregon is the leading state for reproductive health and rights. We have fought hard to get the best reproductive health laws on the books, and now we need your help enforcing them! Personal stories are a powerful tool that can be used to win the hearts and minds of decision-makers, and are critical when advocating to maintain or even expand access to the vital health services that Planned Parenthood provides.
