I think what some folks forget is that PCEF is just built different. It was created as as something truly owned (in spirit) by the frontline communities who conceived it, got it passed, and who implement the grants. That's why taking decision making away from them is such a big deal.

On the surface, last night’s inaugural meeting of the Community Board for Police Accountability was like any other, routine meeting of one of the City’s many appointed boards, commissions and committees – Portlanders seated around a nondescript conference room.

It’s just a term that divides up the working class along differences in experience rather than fundamental class positionality
I think it's time to rethink how we categorize "middle class."

Oregon's SB 1521, modernizing inclusionary zoning in the Portland metro area, unanimously passes Senate Housing. 🎉
Based on 10 years of lessons, it gives cities new policy options + a requirement that such programs be fully funded.
Moves to senate floor!

I heard someone once suggest we should make elected officials wear the logos of the companies they accept donations from, like race car drivers. You can find info doing individual searches on Orestar, but it's time consuming, and not many people know where or how to look up this info.

It’s hard to overstate how many social and environmental problems could basically be solved by creating a world class public transportation network in this city/state/country and fully subsidizing it as a necessary public good.
Rep. Boshart Davis also wants to limit state transit funding only to transit agencies that can prove they have a farebox recovery ratio of 50% or more. Looks like a clear ploy to freeze out TriMet, since their current ratio is about 7%.

ICE may have lost the battle for public opinion, and its operation may be hampered by local pushback, but it has succeeded in one respect: It has instilled terror in Minnesota’s immigrant communities, forcing them into the shadows.
