About Basic Rights Oregon

Basic Rights Oregon, a 501(c)(4) organization, was formed in 1996 out of community responses to anti-gay ballot measures that had plagued Oregon for more than 20 years. In order to sustain and strengthen Oregon’s LGBTQ rights movement between and beyond measure campaigns Basic Rights Education Fund (BREF), a 501(c)(3) organization, was formed in 1999. In fulfilling its mission to build power for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Oregonians, the organizations collectively known as Basic Rights Oregon have secured historic victories.

Basic Rights Oregon will ensure that all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Oregonians experience equality by building a broad and inclusive politically powerful movement, shifting public opinion, and achieving policy victories.

Our vision is to ensure that all LGBTQ Oregonians live free from discrimination and be treated with dignity and respect in every community in our state.
