Sew to Save

After an Oregon Legislature session full of twists, turns, and Republican senators walking off the job, we finally have some good news to share: House Bill 2002 passed! The bill, which expands the number of gender-affirming care procedures covered by public and private insurers in Oregon and protects abortion access, now heads to Gov. Tina Kotek's desk to be signed into law.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who contacted their lawmakers, testified for the bill, signed our pink slips and shared on social media about the need for HB 2002. And a big thanks to legislators who championed this bill. This is a big win for our community! 🏳️‍⚧️
