An Open Letter to the Women of Oregon:

You don't need us to tell you how historic this election is--and for the first time in decades, Oregon will have a meaningful impact in deciding who the Democratic nominee will be for President of the United States.

Right now, women from across the country are mobilizing to support the women of Oregon in securing the nomination for Hillary Clinton. We've worked hard in our states and now we want to work hard for you. Over the next week, we will lend our voices to Oregon by organizing virtual phone banks across the country, and we hope that you join us in making history. To lend your voice and be heard, get started here.

Encourage the other women in your life to do the same. No matter your age or race, we hope that you stand with each other (and us) to show the generations to follow the power of organizing and the power of the collective voice of women in this great country.

At a time when women's reproductive freedom is being attacked in states across the country, when the need to provide equal opportunity--not just for women but also for communities of color--has never been greater and when working families can never seem to get ahead, we need a leader who will fight for us and will never back down. Hillary Clinton is that leader. We firmly believe that in the White House, Hillary will bring the change we want for every individual and every family to be successful--change that she has already fought so hard for as our First Lady and U.S. Senator from New York.

As you and your family and friends vote by mail for the Oregon primary, know that we stand with you. And we hope that you will help us ensure your voices are heard.
