What was the OCN Common Agenda?
Document Actions
For the first time, Oregon’s environmental community represented by the Oregon Conservation Network (OCN) went into a Legislative Session with a clear consensus on the community’s highest priorities. During 2004, OLCV and its sister organization, OLCV Education Fund, facilitated a process by which more than 40 conservation groups agreed upon a set of shared priorities for the 2005 Legislature.
The OCN “Common Agenda” consisted of six proactive environmental proposals, and the goal to prevent the Legislature from rolling back existing environmental laws. OLCV’s Lobbying Program in 2005 was focused on those priorities, the results of which are described here. These priorities were common sense proposals that would protect our health, preserve natural resources for future generations, and promote the long-term health of Oregon’s economy.
