Areas of Focus
Unlike Minds
Unlike Minds is a concept originally developed by Pat and Irma Canon of Corvallis, Oregon. Groups of eight people from varied parts of the political and ideological spectrum meet monthly in each other’s homes to discuss why they have come to different viewpoints. The point of Unlike Minds is embodied in a quote from English author Graham Greene, “When more is understood, more is forgiven.”

Healthcare Poll
Based on a belief that the high cost of health care is a serious issue, a poll was commissioned in July 2019 to test non-partisan views about universal health care, including the willingness of Oregon voters to consider a tax which would be the same or less than the premiums and out of pocket expenses which they now pay.
