Mission
The Oregon Climate Action Hub (ORCAH) is on a mission to empower ALL Oregonians to take effective climate action. The ORCAH website helps users find positive ways to engage; helps organizers connect with each other’s work; and facilitates the flow of climate action opportunities to new audiences. By mobilizing climate concerned Oregonians and normalizing climate-positive engagement, ORCAH grows the climate movement’s reach and efficacy, for a just and livable future.
DEIA
At ORCAH, we highly encourage Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), LGBTQ+, low-income, and rural-based individuals to get involved at every level. We value diverse perspectives and leadership, and we welcome the contributions of our growing community in developing a platform to prioritize access and opportunity for all Oregonians across the organization and platform.

Our goal is to build individual and community capacity for action, and encourage each of us to live in ways that create a vibrant future for all. You can find opportunities to take action at individual, community, organizational, and/or policy levels.
