Next Up is a Portland non-profit that encourages leadership and amplifies the voices of diverse young people to help achieve a more just and equitable Oregon.
This episode is chockfull of concrete advice on everything from how Oregonians displaced by fire can vote, to ways people can make some real change that will affect them now by voting down line in the upcoming city and county elections.
