Founded in 1996, Basic Rights Oregon (BRO) is the state’s chief advocacy, education and political organization dedicated to ending discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. With twelve full time staff plus a contract lobbyist, three offices around the state, more than 10,000 active contributors and 5,000 active volunteers, Basic Rights Oregon is a formidable force in Oregon. BRO has built a diverse movement made up of GLBT folks, straight-allies, rural and urban Oregonians, business leaders, clergy, elected officials, educators, parents and more as well as coalition partners in labor, healthcare, reproductive choice, civil liberties and racial justice organizations. The organization and Oregon’s LGBT community have a history of waging large-scale statewide ballot measure campaigns. We beat back anti-gay ballot measures in 1992, 1994 and 2000. And in 2004, Oregon came the closest of any state to defeating a marriage amendment.
