Rural Organizing Project

The Rural Organizing Project is a statewide organization of locally-based groups that work to create communities accountable to a standard of human dignity: the belief in the equal worth of all people, the need for equal access to justice, and the right to self-determination.

We work with an organized grassroots base. Our analysis is multi-issue, our activities are multi-tactic, and we strategically coordinate our statewide organizing with key partners that counter the Right on every front in rural Oregon. Our lean mean coordinating machine of five staff is backed by hundreds of volunteer leaders and thousands of supporters spanning the 10th largest state in the nation.

Today, ROP works with 65 member groups to organize on issues that impact human dignity and to advance inclusive democracy.
