Take a Seat at the Table
Oregon’s Kitchen Table sets the table for all Oregonians to create the state they want to live in.
The Kitchen Table is a space to empower Oregonians from every corner of the state to contribute feedback, ideas, and resources to decision-makers, public projects and initiatives.
After you sign up, you'll be contacted periodically by email to share your opinion on Oregon’s latest public policy issues, participate in a public project, or invest in your own community.
Everyone has a place at Oregon’s Kitchen Table. Take yours!
