Past Projects

Tear Gas Petition

OHSU students Ryan Stoner and Tisa Kent drafted a petition to add student voices to the demand for a ban on the use of tear gas due to evidence that its use can increase viral transmission and severity of COVID-19 cases. This petition was sent to Ted Wheeler, the new Portland chief of police Chuck Lovell, Kate Brown, and our representatives in the Oregon legislature. Read the petition here.
