The Archimedes Movement, a project of the Foundation for Medical Excellence, initiated by former Oregon state Governor John Kitzhaber, will launch a new website on December 5th that will support their goal of changing the way that people think about and work toward universal health care. The site, designed to maximize the effectiveness of online and in-person activism taking place all over the state, includes features such as document forums where members can discuss and suggest changes to proposed legislation, and a Chapter section, where members in a defined geographic area can call and publicize meetings, post and generate dialog about meeting notes, and post stories, blog posts, photos and other content that is specific to a given area.

We Can Do Better is focused on doing the most with health care dollars, and insuring universal access to health care for all Oregonians. This state-specific movement seeks to serve as a catalyst for the national campaign for universal health care.
