Color PAC Color PAC and its partners uplift people of color to enter public office and govern effectively acro

We're a group of Oregonians from different communities of color with a goal of a more equitable Oregon. And we believe that community members are their own best champions. While we hope to grow the number of voices contributing to this effort, we will never presume or purport to speak for any one or all communities of color.

Oregon Futures Lab (OFL) and Color PAC work to build a bench of values-aligned leaders of color throughout the state of Oregon. Investing in BIPOC leaders for the long term requires being along for the entirety of the ride - that’s why OFL & Color PAC are here for our endorsed candidates from start to finish: from campaigning into governance.

Running for office is not an easy thing to do. Our BIPOC leaders often face structural barriers to entry, but their vision of a better world for our communities keeps them going. Thank you to all the OFL & Color PAC candidates who campaigned this May! We are excited to continue building with you.

We want to give a big thank you to all the OFL & Color PAC candidates who ran for office this spring! Elections are a critical part of building power and we also know that movement-building work starts before and goes beyond election cycles. Win, lose or runoff - we appreciate your dedication to our communities.

We are excited to announce our endorsed candidates running for office in Washington County and for Metro!

At Oregon Futures Lab & Color PAC, we believe in government by the people, for the people. We work for communities whose governing bodies don’t represent them and we lead with racial justice. Our candidates hold these same values, and are committed to fighting for a future where all people thrive.

Please consider using your Oregon Political Tax Credit to give to Color PAC!

Color PAC focuses on electing progressive candidates of color who go on to govern in their communities across all levels of government. Please join us in building the bench of progressive leaders of color by using your Political Tax Credit to give to Color PAC.

Every year, the Oregon Political Tax Credit allows eligible Oregonians to donate up to $50 (or $100 for joint filing couples) to a political cause, and subtract that amount from their taxes when they file. It’s like a free donation!
