That’s how you fight despair,” he said. “It’s truly sad to be sad about the climate and not do anything about it. In the face of a world not existing, I find true joy and relief in mobilizing and organizing with fellow young people.”

Healthcare costs are projected to rise 9% in 2027, the most in nearly two decades.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

The top 10% now hold 67.4% of all the wealth in the US.

The bottom 50% hold 2.5%.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

The political landscape has grown more heated in recent years because of this.

As working class Americans lose wealth, the elites push narratives to place blame on different groups, stoking divisions and hatred.

Understand this: if Medicaid, Medicare, and/or SNAP benefits are cut, Americans will die as a result. It’s policy violence.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Don’t panic, organize.

Two weeks after Hurricane Beryl, the death toll has kept climbing.

More than half were heat-related deaths.

Our communities need resources to combat growing climate disasters and extreme heat and save lives.

What are your thoughts about regional transportation priorities? How should state leaders address transportation funding challenges? 🚌🚈

If you support more funding for transit, you can share your thoughts at this Oregon Legislature Joint Committee on Transportation listening session next week.

Critical energy retrofits are now a reality for Portland schools after City Council passed PCEF’s Climate Friendly Schools plan! This will lower greenhouse gases and make classrooms more comfortable during extreme weather. https://t.co/u1eRQYhMnf

[Danny Cage @DannyACage]

PCEF investments in schools will have significant impacts for years to come. Proud to join fellow school board members, superintendents, and more from around Portland to share how PCEF funds will help education in the region.

Happy 2 Year Anniversary to the Bike Bus @CoachBalto!

I’m so proud to live in Portland bc the bike bus movement became viral here in our city.

Bike buses give kids a great way to get to school in the mornings, but Portland needs safer routes to school & the city should help.

Today, BLM announced new oil and gas regulations. We're glad they're taking on Big Oil, but, it's 2024! We're facing a climate emergency.

We need to go beyond small tweaks. We must make plans to phase out fossil fuels on public lands. Full stop.

On a sunny morning in mid-March 2024 a large crowd gathered at Nadaka Nature Park to plant 72 trees in the surrounding area in memory of the 72 people who lost their lives to the extraordinary heat of the summer of 2021. Read➡️ https://t.co/jvs6Ojfs9k

We can not tackle homelessness without affordable housing.

I joined this amicus brief with @LocalProgress and over 150 elected officials across the country to support housing first. #HousingNotHandcuffs

[Local Progress @LocalProgress]

The solution to homelessness is a stable home – not jail.

150+ local elected officials signed onto this brief reminding SCOTUS that #HousingFirst is the most humane & effective way to address homelessness. 🧵

BREAKING: In a major loss for Apple, Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek has signed the strongest right-to-repair bill in the country into law, her office tells us.

Oregon becomes the first state to ban "parts pairing," which let companies like Apple decide when and how you replace parts.
