Legislative News
HB 4136
The House Vote to Improve Justice for Grieving Families HB 4136 lifts the cap on wrongful death cases for the first time in 29 years. On February 10th, the Oregon House voted to update the cap on non-economic damages in wrongful death claims for the first time in nearly 30 years. House Bill 4136, which passed 33-26, will lift the cap on wrongful death cases from $500,000--set in 1987--to $1.5 million. It would give grieving families access to a more just compensation. This bill now goes to Senate for consideration.

Blog Discusses LGBTQ Youth and Law Enforcement Responses

The OJP Diagnostic Center<https://n1.m.tt/a/kvbjxjixim-nzubrzhh.html?utm_source=DynamicsMarketing&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=JUVJUST_LGBQT_021016> has posted a blog<https://n1.m.tt/a/kvbjxjixiv-nzubrzhh.html?utm_source=DynamicsMarketing&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=JUVJUST_LGBQT_021016> from Dr. Meredith Dank of the Urban Institute discussing the OJJDP-funded report "Locked In: Interactions with the Criminal Justice and Child Welfare Systems for LGBTQ Youth, YMSM, and YWSW Who Engage in Survival Sex<https://n1.m.tt/a/tulckczkzk-nzubrzhh.html?utm_source=DynamicsMarketing&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=JUVJUST_LGBQT_021016>." The report describes the cycle of involvement in the juvenile justice, criminal justice, and child welfare systems affecting youth who engaged in survival sex and are self-identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning (LGBTQ) youth; young men who have sex with men (YMSM); and young women who have sex with women (YWSW). The report found that more than 70 percent of LGBTQ youth had been arrested at least once, with some experiencing violence, abuse, and disrespect when interacting with law enforcement and system stakeholders. The blog calls for law enforcement to improve responses to LGBTQ youth through trauma-informed support, specific protocols for victims of trafficking, safe and supportive arrests, and proper shelter options. In addition, the blog details recommendations from study participants on how law enforcement, courts, and child welfare can better interact with LGBTQ youth, including LGBTQ sensitivity and cultural competency training.

Webinar Description:

This interactive webinar focuses on fund development strategies and tactics during crucial times in an organizations life - major transitions. From a program's major grant ending to a founding director leaving the organization, transition is a very difficult time for organizations internally among staff, but also externally with funders. This webinar will dive deep into navigating fund development strategies during organizational transition, as well as steps your organization can take to prepare. We will also feature a real organization that went through major transition, including losing 75% of their operating budget, yet have been able to expand their coverage, open satellite offices in all six of their rural counties, maintain all of their staff and stay true to their mission.
