Get Involved
Here are a number of ways you can get involved in the work for social
justice and a stronger democracy.
Dismantling the War at Home and Abroad
As we work to advance our progressive
vision of rural Oregon founded in true democracy, human dignity, and
justice, we see the war at home and abroad as our barrier. We are
working to dismantle this war and the common systems and inequalities in
power that have created the global war on "terror", the war in Iraq, and
subsequent erosion of civil liberties, breakdown of the safety net, and
targeting of immigrant communities. Our overarching strategy is to
build a growing movement of rural people committed to global justice,
peace, and real democracy that will be the undoing of all these wars.

Get on ROPnet
ROPNET is the official listserve of the Rural Organizing Project. It is
a secure list to the extent that all names added are involved with the
work of the ROP. Our email listserve was one of the first to use email
to organize when it was launched in the early 1990s. ROPNET is intended
first and foremost to break the isolation that rural human rights
activists can experience. Because the list has grown over the years, we
changed the system in 2002 so that the ROP office makes all posts.

Strategy Session. Each board member needs to have a relationship with
an ROP affiliated member human dignity group and be willing to travel to
all day Saturday meetings five times each year. Meetings are hosted by
member groups around the state. If you would like more information in
hosting a meeting or serving on the board please contact
