ADDITIONALLY, WE'LL HOST EDUCATIONAL EVENTS ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND METHODS OF ADVOCACY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO ADVOCATING FOR EQUITABLE SOLUTIONS ALONGSIDE OUR MEMBERS. RIPPLE UNITE OREGON ACTION'S RIPPLE (REFUGEE, IMMIGRANT, & PEOPLE OF COLOR POLITICAL LEADERSHIP AND EDUCATION) PROGRAM IS A NEW LEADERSHIP INCUBATOR SERIES DESIGNED TO BUILD POWER FOR EMERGING IMMIGRANT, REFUGEE, AND BIPOC LEADERS THROUGH POLITICAL EDUCATION, ADVOCACY, AND ORGANIZING SKILLS DELIVERED IN A CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE BIPOC-CREATED/LED CURRICULUM. THE PROGRAM TRAINED LEADERS THROUGH A 5-WEEK INTENSIVE SERIES IN FEBRUARY; DESIGNED TO TEACH ABOUT THE VARYING GOVERNMENT STRUCTURES, HOW TO CONVERT IDEAS INTO POLICY, AND EVEN RUN FOR OFFICE. WE ALSO CULMINATED IN A VIRTUAL GRADUATION CELEBRATION, WITH A JOB AND INTERNSHIP FAIR, WHERE GRADUATES GOT TO MEET WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS IN BREAKOUT ROOMS AND BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO HIRING MANAGERS AND ORGANIZATIONS WITH OPEN POSITIONS. THIS YEAR WE GRADUATED A CLASS OF 17 PARTICIPANTS. FOUR GRADUATES ARE RUNNING OR PLANNING TO RUN FOR POSITIONS IN THEIR UNIONS, SCHOOL BOARD, AND STATE OFFICE. ANOTHER THREE HAVE BEEN HIRED TO WORK AT UNITE OREGON AS CHAPTER ORGANIZERS, COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, AND SMALL BUSINESS SUPPORTERS; AND TWO ESTABLISHED CHILDCARE SMALL BUSINESSES THROUGH OUR SMALL BUSINESS INCUBATOR PROGRAM (BRIDGES). IT HAS BEEN VERY EXCITING FOR US TO WATCH THESE LEADERS BLOSSOM IN THE PROGRAM AND SHARE THEIR LEADERSHIP WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES. PRIMARY ELECTION WE ENDORSED TWENTY-ONE CANDIDATES ACROSS LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS IN DISTRICTS THAT OVERLAPPED WITH OUR CHAPTERS OR HAD HIGH DENSITY MEMBER REPRESENTATION. WITH LIMITED RESOURCES, WE FOCUSED OUR SUPPORT ON MEDIA PROMOTION, EVENT SHARING, AND VOTER EDUCATION. WE ENDED THE SEASON WITH 85% WINS, 10% LOSS AND 5% RUNOFFS. GENERAL ELECTION FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION WE HAVE ENDORSED 23 CANDIDATES, 3 STATEWIDE BALLOT MEASURES, AND 4 LOCAL BALLOT MEASURES. IN ADDITION TO SPECIFIC CAMPAIGNS, WE ALSO SUPPORTED VOTER EDUCATION EVENTS AND GET OUT THE VOTE (GOTV) EFFORTS. OUR ENGAGEMENT LEVELS RANGED FROM PUBLIC ENDORSEMENTS TO FIELD PROGRAMS DEPENDING ON CAMPAIGN NEEDS, CAPACITY, AND FUNDS. GENERAL CAMPAIGN FUNDS WERE FAIRLY SCARCE SO OUR EFFORTS CARRIED OUT FOR 3 WEEKS FROM OCTOBER THROUGH ELECTION DAY. WE HOSTED A TOTAL OF 31 EVENTS, GATHERED WITH 50 VOLUNTEERS AND CARRIED OUT ABOUT 100 SHIFTS. OUR COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN COMPLETED A TOTAL OF 4241 CONTACTS OF OUR 31 CAMPAIGNS, WE WON 93% WITH 65% BIPOC REPRESENTATION. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH EACH ELECTED IN THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICES.
