Feeling down about the state of Portland? Next year, we get to elect an entirely new city council. Every current council member could win re-election & they would still be outnumbered by the new 12 person council. Start organizing. This is an unprecedented opportunity.

And yet our mayor wants to punish people experiencing homelessness by placing them in camps. Camps with prison like rules. Camps with no pathway towards housing or access to medical help. Camps where they are hidden from view and forgotten. For what? For tourism?

George McLaurin, the first black man admitted to the University of Oklahoma in 1948 was forced to sit in a corner far from his classmates.

When he first applied he was denied based on his race. He went to court & it ruled that denying him was unconstitutional

If you need gas masks and live on Mississippi, especially if you have children please DM me. My wife spent time in the hospital due to the impacts of Ted Wheeler’s gas and it is known to creep into homes. Ted is about to attack your neighborhood. DM me if you need support.

💯 The task isn’t just to undo Trump’s cruel policies, it’s how we undo decades of cruel immigration policies that have brought us to this moment.

It needs to start with not allowing those who have defended or implemented those policies to lead the charge.

Staying home is solidarity to essential workers.
Wearing a mask is solidarity to healthcare workers.
Choosing online gatherings is solidarity to our immunocompromised community.
