Let's make Portland a city where everyone’s voice matters and where love guides us in all decisions. We support these seven candidates for Charter Commission and urge you to make a plan to vote for them on June 8th, or request your absentee ballot today: https://t.co/nrXAcFj5Iq

Congratulations to People First Bellingham whose 4 initiatives have made the Nov. 2 ballot. (Also seems like their City Council has read the Chamber of Commerce playbook.) https://t.co/z6p7BlaCsG

10/10 We tell the truth because we love this city. Vote June 8 for a People First Charter. ✊✊✊

1/ At last night’s D4 debate, Cheryl Leeman reacted to a mailer sent by People First Charter: “I do not appreciate the untruths that have been put in this flyer about where I stand or votes that I took on issues.”

Sometimes the truth can be hard to hear. Here are the facts:

9/ Those are the facts. It is also a fact that the Charter Commission will have deep and lasting impacts on our city at a time when we are tired, divided, and vulnerable to misinformation. That is why we will always tell the truth.

Today the @PortlandPhoenix tried to tell us politics should be free from strong positions--an opinion that reveals the tremendous privilege of never have been on the sidewalk side of a cop's knee on your neck. Ideas, alone, will not put people first. It's about taking back power.

For 100 years, the Chamber of Commerce has determined what is possible in Portland. We're staking the future of our beloved city on a Charter that puts people first. See the Candidate Scorecard and read the full survey results at: https://t.co/RYJNNuOqgP

@waldo_aaron @MarpheenChann It's heartbreaking, but you can vote for 4 other AL candidates who don't take money from business interests & lobbyists, and who want to make Portland a place where policy is decided by neighbors talking with neighbors, not by insiders at City Hall.

Nasreen Sheikh-Yousef will bring her positive outlook, courage, and integrity to the Charter Commission. A candidate with invaluable lived experience, we support Nasreen, and ask you to rank her highly in the At-Large race on June 8. https://t.co/mCHQYgpM6g

We support Catherine Buxton for Charter Commission At-Large. She wants to make Portland more responsive to residents at the neighborhood level and usher in a new era of direct democracy. We love her ideas for citizen assemblies! https://t.co/JIALJh05Gl

We urge you to rank Anthony Emerson At-Large for Charter Commission to put working families at the table. Anthony is a tireless advocate for closing the opportunity gap in our schools and ending systemic racism. https://t.co/FGz9YYf7lr
