The Oregon Pesticide Action Coalition (OPAC) is a statewide grassroots network of Oregonians impacted and concerned about various types of pesticide drift, run-off and residual contaminants that affect public health, drinking water and watersheds, wildlife and ecosystems. Beyond Toxics facilitates a monthly video conference meeting for our coalition members throughout the state to discuss current and ongoing pesticide use issues in communities around Oregon. Our goal is to join together to work on meaningful solutions to these issues.

OPAC builds leadership for pesticide reform by assisting with direct action campaigns – mostly for small towns and rural communities who are fighting to protect themselves, their families and their local environment from pesticide drift and run-off. Beyond Toxics believes that developing a statewide voice, sharing the experiences of rural residents and supporting these grassroots efforts is critical to advancing change.
