About Oregon Rebate 2024

In 2018, a group of everyday Oregonians came together in the coffee shops of Eugene and asked themselves 'what can we do to  make our own lives and communities better?' 

Most legislation is written by partisan figures and special interests, but not us. The Oregon Rebate was written by normal people in our community with a broad range of lived experiences and perspectives, all focused on improving the lives of those they care about and their communities.

“We brought together an eclectic group of about a dozen politically-engaged ‘outsiders’ ranging from high-school students to retired folks, from the better-off to the unhoused, and from across the political spectrums to hash out a policy we could all agree on,” recalls Chief Petitioner Antonio Gisbert.

“When we focused on the goal of what would make our own lives and communities better, the Oregon Rebate was our answer: Let’s have giant corporations start to pay their fair share in taxes, and let’s put that money directly into people’s pockets!”

This elegant and clear approach to legislation  is on the ballot this November. We hope you will join us in changing Oregon for the better!
