Join OEA’s Autumn Outreach to Potential members in Portland this October 23rd at PAT

Over the last 18 months, many of our new hires have missed out on the traditional union welcome that we normally provide. Join us Saturday October 23rd as we reach out to potential members door-to-door, via text, and over the phone.

We know that a personal ask from another educator is the most effective way to get new educators to join PAT.

Sign up today to help with this outreach:
