The
2012 Oregon Black Political Convention (OBPC)
The Oregon Black Political Convention (OBPC) is a
nonpartisan convention. It is held during the spring of election years
and is hosted by the Oregon Assembly for Black Affairs (OABA) through
its Political Action Committee. The purpose of this convention is
twofold. One is to serve as a forum for delegates to discuss issues and
conditions, and to establish, through resolutions, the positions of the
Black Community, collectively, on these issues and conditions affecting
it. The other is to endorse candidates running for public offices,
during the Primary Election, who are sensitive and responsive to the
issues and conditions of Blacks in Oregon.
The convention is statewide in its focus. OBPC is open to
the public. Any individual or organization addressing the concerns of
Blacks in Oregon may be a delegate to the convention. The delegates
carry out the business of the convention. The actions and endorsements
of the Oregon Black Political Convention are the positions of the
convention and not those of the Oregon Assembly For Black Affairs (OABA).
What is done at this convention to help Black Oregonians benefits all
Oregonians.
