Building protections for diverse family and relationship structures in Beaverton

Take action that to ensure Beaverton City Council passes protections for our community!

We’re working to create a new legal class “Family and Relationship Structure” in Beavertpon to protect all forms of non-monogamous relationship structures and chosen, blended, and multi-generational family structures.

Local advocates have been in conversation with Beaverton city councilors for months. They need to hear from residents that this policy is important.

We need you to reach out to your councilors to show your support.

What?

Many Beaverton residents have family or relationship structures outside the norm, whether they’re polyamorous, a single parent by choice, in a blended family with step-parents and step-children, and so on. Unfortunately, even in Beaverton, people still face stigma and discrimination when it comes to housing, business establishments, and more.

This bill recognizes that diverse family and relationship structures enrich Beaverton, and ensures that all of the city’s residents are treated fairly and with respect. It mirrors legislation adopted by Cambridge and Somerville MA in 2023 and Oakland and Berkeley CA in 2024.
