We build and operate micro villages to shelter some of the most vulnerable in Portland’s unhoused population.
Check out the beginning of our new mural at St. Andrew’s Village! Thanks to Gather:Make:Shelter, our staff ad our villagers. We love creating beautiful spaces in Portland neighborhoods for our unhoused neighbors.

A good UNION job took my dad and our family from poverty to the middle class.

Whether it was working as a school custodian or the work I did as a critical care nurse, I’ve seen the power of collective action up close and personal.

Happy Labor Day!

Your reminder to call your Senator now and demand that they invoke the Byrd Rule and strip the transgender medicaid ban from Trump's spending and tax bill.

Call them here.

1. I spend a lot of time talking about transgender youth healthcare with people who are uncertain about it.

A large number of my readers are politically moderate and trying to learn.

Today, I laid out my case against bans for my readers who fit that mold.
