Ecosocialist Working Group Releases Transit Rider Survey Report - Portland DSA
Portland DSA’s Ecosocialist Working Group aims to influence Salem policymakers to do better for under-served frequent riders.
portlanddsa.org
This spring, we got on @trimet.org to survey 300+ regular transit riders about their needs. Riders want frequency, better shelters and unarmed rider ambassadors.
Please check out my article in The Thorn! It has a link to the full report.

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?
Shaheen: "When I talk to my constituents in New Hampshire, you know what they say to me? They say, 'Why can't you all just work together to address the problems that are facing this country?'"

Ask me how I know 💀
this always gets pushback but try living in a state with a "part time" legislature that receives a small salary and you wind up with a government run by bail bondsman and guys who own boat dealerships
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.

This would be such a win!! I would die for this (mildly inconvenience myself)
Portland City Council will consider an amendment next week to redirect $4.3 million from the city program that sweeps homeless encampments. If passed, the budget adjustment will instead invest $2 million in rent and food assistance, and support for immigrants and refugees.

Vibe check on the sunrise corridor project? Seems popular in ClackCo but it smells a little off. Sidewalks NEED a Faustian bargain of more lanes? And there are transit improvements happening somehow but they are incredibly vague.

In the August Primary, there was 3.13% swing to the benefit of Katie Wilson on the day after Election Day. By the time all ballots were counted, there was an 8.19% swing to the benefit of Wilson.

Here's what people had to say about Ann:
"Ann Cudd threatened student safety on campus by calling in the Portland Police Bureau who brutalized student protesters. She also prioritizes real estate deals rather than affordable education at an access-institution."
