Newberg Neighbors is doing a series on how Oregon, and specifically Yamhill county and Newberg, can step up and organize to protect our families as federal funding is slashed. As the days go by, the hallmarks of the Trump administration continue to prove to be chaos, confusion, and dysfunction. The bulk of the harm falls on immigrants, minorities, and working families. It is time for us to step up and stand in the gap!
Oregon Must Step Up to Protect Families When Federal Policies Fall Short
Federal retrenchments in health, education, and family support are leaving states to fill widening gaps. Cuts to Medicaid, narrowed Title IX protections, stagnant childcare investments, and uncertainty around reproductive rights all raise the stakes for Oregon families.
Women and children often bear the brunt, but fathers, caregivers, and communities as a whole are also affected. Oregon must respond boldly with equitable healthcare, family care, childcare, and educational support that shields every household—especially the nearly 70% of Oregonians earning under $100,000—from destabilization.
