About OTA's Programs & Activities

Oregon Toxics Alliance is taking a leading role to systematically challenge the root causes of toxic pollution in Oregon. We work for all Oregonians to help empower individuals and communities to find solutions that protect human and environmental health.

In the late 1990’s OTA’s founders successfully passed the model Community Toxics Right to Know law in the city of Eugene (which requires polluters to report their emissions to the Fire Marshall for posting on a public website). Our original founders include Mary O’Brien, Anita Johnson and Michael Carrigan. The local fight to pass a Community Toxics Right to Know law made it clear to Oregon’s environmental leaders that it was the right time to form an organization dedicated to toxics use reduction and environmental justice. Oregon Toxics Alliance was founded in 2000. Our office is located in Eugene and we serve communities throughout the state.

OTA’s strategy is to build advocacy and public involvement by supporting grassroots partnerships on local toxics issues. OTA reaches out through sponsorships and organizational assistance to community-based groups who are opposing local environmental destruction and public health threats. The OTA Board of Directors sets the organization’s Strategic Plan by evaluating the potential of successful local projects to generate broad public support for fundamental changes in environmental health policy at the State legislature.
