NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon has been the political leader of the pro-choice movement since 1977
Mission: To develop and sustain a constituency which effectively uses the political process to guarantee every woman the right to make personal decisions regarding the full range of reproductive choices, including preventing unintended pregnancy, bearing healthy children, and choosing legal abortion.
NPCO is comprised of three different entities working together to protect choice across Oregon
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon, Inc., a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization, works through the political and legislative systems to advocate for comprehensive reproductive health policies and to secure reproductive choice for all Oregonians. NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon defends the right to choose and works to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies, thereby reducing the number of abortions. Using sophisticated political strategies, extensive grassroots organizing, and effective lobbying, NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon has fought and won numerous pro-choice victories in its 25-year history.
Oregon Foundation for Reproductive Health, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, directs public education campaigns plus extensive leadership trainings for grassroots activists. The NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon Foundation oversees the Emergency Birth Control Access Project, which works to provide seamless access to contraceptive services and supplies to women all across Oregon.
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon Political Action Committee (PAC) is the driving force behind the election of many of Oregon's pro-choice candidates. The PAC mounts multi-faceted campaigns, including a persuasive grassroots voter contact program to educate voters and motivate them to vote for pro-choice candidates. Our financial contributions, political advice and services provide a critical edge to pro-choice candidates.
