“Leaders have to bring forward solutions. People who are sleeping outside, people who struggle to afford housing, and everyone concerned about our houseless neighbors aren’t served by obstructionist infighting.” - @GovTinaKotek wweek.com/news/city/2024/10/…

It's true, @CommissionerRG wouldn't meet with supporters of Portland Street Response, and also refused to meet with the janitors, security guards, and other unionized employees that work at City Hall. This man is unfit for Mayor. #DontRankRene
Replying to @candaceforpdx
The look on Rene's face when Rubio said "some people won't even meet with those they don't agree with". Rene did not come off well.

Rene’s reign over Portland Street Response has been a disaster. As Mayor, he would represent an existential threat to the future of Portland Street Response. #SavePSR That’s why we are supporting @DontRankRene Help them educate voters by donating today: cesystems.tech/campaign/dont…

Did you know that one of the most widespread laws in the state of Washington kills untold numbers of small businesses, mandates sprawl, wastes millions of tax dollars annually & drives up home prices? Today, @Sightline releases an investigation 18 months in the making. 🧵

First IG live and I cried a little talking about the many families that are homeless in Portland. Idk how to talk about that without getting emotional and I don’t think ever will, and so I’m committed to ending so I don’t have to weep on camera again.

do I have any Seattle followers who could recommend someone for curious @PNWelcome members to talk to about the I-137 campaign?
The Seattle City Council has just voted 6-1 to establish an alternative to I-137, the proposed tax on the rich to fund social housing, for the February 2025 special election. The alternative would divert $10 million in existing affordable housing funds to social housing.

Check on your neighbors, especially older adults and those living alone, during the heat wave. Help them make a plan to get to a cooler place.
PLEASE SHARE: ⚠️If you know an older adult who lives alone, PLEASE check on them. Older people living alone without air conditioning, particularly men over 50, are at risk.⚠️
