A coalition in Oregon is advancing a 2026 ballot initiative to amend the state constitution and explicitly protect marriage equality, reproductive access and gender-affirming care. The Equal Rights for All campaign says it needs roughly 156,000 valid signatures by summer 2026 to qualify; organizers are aiming well above that threshold and report early volunteer momentum, according to The Nation.
