Campaign With Us
Coordinated community action ensures livable, sustainable land use outcomes for the future of the Rogue Valley.
What is a Campaign?
At Rogue Advocates, a "campaign" is a coordinated, time-bound effort to influence a specific land use decision or policy. It is built on public education, community outreach, and effective participation.
We focus on issues that shape the Rogue Valley’s resilience—from traffic and housing density to the preservation of our vital farmland and forests. Our campaigns are never about partisan politics or personal attacks; they are about the laws and standards that govern our growth.
Our Principles
- Respectful ParticipationWe engage with decision-makers and the public with civility and professionalism.
- Accuracy and SourcingOur advocacy is grounded in public records, expert research, and verified data.
- Solutions and AlternativesWe don't just oppose; we champion smart, sustainable land use alternatives.
- Standard-FocusedOur goals are aligned with adopted local plans and Oregon's Statewide Planning Goals.
