At Praxis, we believe our leaders' words make a difference. But in Clackamas County, Commissioner Mark Shull continues to double down on hateful, violent rhetoric. That is why this Saturday at 2pm, we are joining lawmakers from across Clackamas County to loudly reject xenophobia, racism, and anti-Semitism.

Today is a big day at Praxis Political. Our team of (mostly) young political professionals gets a little older: it is Praxis Political’s very own Jake Weigler's birthday! But that’s not all. Today, we launched Our Shot Oregon to hold elected officials accountable, and help spread awareness and information to increase vaccination rates across Oregon. Together we can save lives, and have big birthday parties in person again next year. Help us celebrate our fearless co-founder today by liking and sharing Our Shot Oregon.

This is true, but I definitely want some of you to continue to stay away from me after this.
