Our Goal

Our goal is to promote a tax code that is fair, progressive, serves the common good, and is fully enforced.

Since 2003, Tax Fairness Oregon has helped save the state budget hundreds of millions of dollars by working towards an equitable tax system.

From helping to retain the Oregon Estate Tax to helping to pass Measures 66 and 67, Tax Fairness Oregon has been a critical force in state government.

You can review goals that we have deemed to be important from the drop-down menu under the "Issues" tab.

What We Do

Tax Fairness Oregon works to reform our tax code so that it serves the common good, not special interests.

We help shape the debate about tax policy in Oregon:

•We work to reform Oregon’s tax code by monitoring and evaluating tax concepts.
•We identify, research, and analyze critical bills.
•We testify at legislative hearings and meet with legislators.
We bring public attention to tax issues through speakers, media outreach, workshops, and public relations.
•We build coalitions with partner organizations.

We engage in legislative action, grassroots organizing, education, and coalition building to promote a revenue system that is more progressive, sustainable, and adequate.
