Our committees fight for Oregon single payer health care

Outreach and Communications

The Outreach and Communications Committee works to educate and engage the Oregon public about our mission to achieve Oregon single payer health care. Committee members create outreach materials and set up in-person events to interface with the public.

The Digital Outreach Subcommittee creates content and uses our digital platforms to spread the word on universal health care and MVHCA activities further than in-person efforts can reach.

Outreach and Communications is co-chaired by Fritz Stephens-Tiley and Holly Bendixon.

Our Outreach and Communications Committee meets on the 2nd Tuesday of every month from 7 – 8:30pm on Zoom. If you’re interested in attending, or want more information, please fill out the contact form below. Zoom Invite: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89158564355?pwd=ZXQzU3RsaEZTcUxuc1NwQ09YYWt6QT09
