Climate Day of Action Schedule
Wednesday, May 29, 2019
Change in Schedule
Rather than meeting to register and rally on the Capitol Steps, we meet at 10:00 am at the Micah Building, 600 State St, Salem, OR 97301 (2nd floor) across the street from the First United Methodist Church. Parking recommendation is still Macy’s Salem Center, 400 High St NE, Salem, OR 97301.
Macy’s 400, High Street.
Rumor: The House and Senate Chamber gallery schedules have changed. Rather than splitting up and some going to each Gallery, the Senate Gallery contingent will be the first 50 to arrive at the Micah Building. The House Gallery contingent will be assigned for a 2:00 pm. visit.

Legislator Meetings – Renew Oregon Advocacy and Outreach Coordinator, Madison Daisy, will be scheduling legislator meetings. If you have any questions about your meeting time(s) please reach out to madisondaisy@reneworegon.org. We will do our best to schedule meetings to end before 3:45 pm and prioritize earlier meetings with legislators from districts more than 60 miles away.
Legislator Meetings: We will be prioritizing meetings with Legislators on the Joint Ways and Means Committee. If you are in not a district with a scheduled meeting, then don’t worry! We will be having groups of constituents take letters of support from farmers, newspaper op-eds, businesses, coalition organizations, and youth climate petitions to all Legislators and Governor Kate Brown and we can use your help showing support for passing the Clean Energy Jobs Bill, HB 2020 with the -84 amendment.
Things to remember: Please bring your clean energy jobs shirts and buttons! We’ll have extra shirts and stickers available in limited supply. Also, we recommend that you bring a reusable water bottle. We’ll do our very best to accommodate dietary restrictions, but make sure to bring snacks or food to keep you nourished throughout the day.
