The 500 Project
Oregon 500

BUILT IN OREGON. DESIGNED TO SCALE.

Oregon 500 is the first statewide implementation of The 500 Project.

We're building one statewide network that connects principled people, county leaders, independent organizations and partners, so the people already doing the work can work together where it matters most.

We don't have to agree on everything to act together where we do.

WHERE OUR MAJOR PRINCIPLES OVERLAP, WE WORK TOGETHER.

We believe local government should be accountable to the people it serves, parents and citizens should have a meaningful voice in their schools, individual freedom should be respected, and local leaders should reflect and respond to their communities.

One Network

ONE STATE.
ONE NETWORK.

The people are already here. The organizations are already here. So are the experience, passion and willingness to lead.

OREGON 500 CONNECTS THEM.

Schools

SCHOOLS ARE WHERE
WE START.

This is where our major principles meet.

Parents. Accountability. Individual freedom. Local leadership.
THE MAJORITY OF SCHOOL BOARD RACES ARE WON OR LOST BY 500 VOTES.

Across Oregon, we're building the people, county leadership, organizational relationships and support needed to compete locally.

LOCAL LEADERSHIP IS WHAT WE BUILD.
