Unite Oregon City

December 2022

What does Unite Oregon City mean to you?

We started our recent monthly meeting by answering the question of what Unite Oregon City means to each of us in the Planning Group. Our answers follow:

    • Able to engage the community on the broader level

    • Working to create a more welcoming Oregon City where we live and work

    • Made up of like-minded people

    • Resources and different ways to get involved available

    • Structured support, outreach and networking

We would love to have you join us in the new year as we move to in-person monthly meetings again! Stay tuned for more information on the date, time and location.

About Us

About Us
Vision Statement
​UOC envisions Oregon City and surrounding areas as being a welcoming and safe space for historically marginalized, disenfranchised and oppressed peoples to share their experiences and voices. We envision a community that accepts and appreciates those including, but not limited to, race, sex, gender identity, ethnicity, national origin, socioeconomic status, documentation status, culture, sexual orientation, religion, age and ability.

Mission Statement
Unite Oregon City is a non-partisan group that strives to make Oregon City and the surrounding area a more welcoming and safe place by working collaboratively with other formal and informal community groups to create and support programs, practices, and policies that lead to a just, equitable, diverse and inclusive community that accepts and appreciates the uniqueness of all.
