Welcome to PODER Action Alliance!
Latinos are shaping Oregon’s future, and we’re here to make sure their voices are heard. Building on the foundation of PODER, Oregon’s Latino Leadership Network, we have launched PODER Action Alliance—a statewide movement dedicated to strengthening Latino social, economic, and civic power.
WHY IT MATTERS
Latino Health First (HB 3650): From Invisible to Essential
For too long, Oregon’s Latino communities have been overlooked in healthcare policies—despite being the backbone of the workforce, economy, and society. Latino Health First—House Bill 3650 is a transformative step forward. By establishing the Latino Health System Task Force, it lays the groundwork for eliminating disparities and ensuring culturally competent care for all.

From Band-Aid Solutions To Lasting Equity
Turning Knowledge Into Solutions:
For years, studies have exposed the healthcare inequities Latinos face. HB 3650 transforms knowledge into action, using research, data analysis, and artificial intelligence to drive smart, lasting solutions that ensure healthcare works for everyone.
From Excluded to Represented - A stronger healthcare system starts with Latino doctors, nurses, and providers who understand our communities.
From Language Barriers to Language Justice - Is It Really Healthcare Access If You Can’t Understand or Be Understood? HB 3650 ensures linguistically and culturally competent healthcare.
From Short-Term Fixes - To Systemic Change
HB 3650 moves beyond short-term fixes, establishing long-term policies that make Latino health equity a lasting priority.
We are taxpayers, families, and essential workers - now we are united and, most importantly, organized. It’s time for a healthcare system that recognizes, protects, and empowers us.
