About Us

Who We Are

Rogue Advocates for Tomorrow (RAT) is a grassroots collective of organizers, artists, and everyday people committed to building a just and liberated Southern Oregon.

We Believe In

  • Mutual aid over charity
  • Solidarity over saviorism
  • Community safety over state control
  • Land and people before profit and power
  • Everyone has something to offer.
  • We keep each other safe.
  • The future is communal—or there's no future at all.

We work at the intersections of direct action, political education, rural organizing, and community care. Whether you’re from Ashland, Medford, Talent, Phoenix, Grants Pass, or the hills and valleys in between—this movement includes you.

Our Roots

Born from the momentum of 50501, RAT emerged as a response to the urgent need for locally grounded activism. We’ve protested alongside you in Southern Oregon. Now, we’re working to grow a deeper, more sustainable future—together.

  • Mutual Aid & Resource Sharing
  • Food and goods distribution & survival support
