“We can’t incarcerate our way to public safety.

We need solutions that address addiction, mental health, and poverty. That’s why I’m proud to work with Safety and Justice Oregon. Together, we’re advancing a more balanced approach to crime that holds people accountable, helps survivors heal, and keeps our communities safe.”

– Rep. Tawna Sanchez, Oregon House District 43
