It’s working. Our scheming + dreaming + hard work has paid off in a lot of wins. Can you help us raise $15,000 to keep doing the impossible? 👇

Breach has always done what we genuinely believe in – and we win, together. We win with workers, we win with our communities, we win with you.

🙉Thankfully, we didn’t listen. Five years later, we still do what we believe in – naysayers be damned.

And the best part?

We formed Breach in 2020, with a vision that many called too idealistic. 🗣️Start a climate nonprofit during a global pandemic? Impossible! 🗣️ An organization with no hierarchy? Chaos! 🗣️ Build campaigns that bridge the divide between the climate and labor movements? Good luck!

We became acutely aware that justice is impossible without building power, and that sometimes building real power means risking everything. ⚖️

In 2019, Breach’s co-founders were burned-out nonprofit employees working under a tyrannical employer, but in banding together to form a union and stand up to our boss we began to feel a new power deep in our bones. ✊💪

When the entire federal gov is stacked against us in favor of corporate interests, we need local leaders to protect the people they claim to serve. That the Mayor's office and city staff continue to do the bidding of a TX-based fossil fuel company is a blatant betrayal of every Portland resident.

A NOT-SO-INDEPENDENT INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION UPDATE ➡️ Instead of increased transparency, the update revealed that the "independent" investigation into Zenith's franchise agreement remains "shrouded in secrecy" and riddled with conflicts of interest. 🤐

A LEGAL WIN ➡️ The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled in our favor in a lawsuit supported by Breach and brought by Northwest Environmental Defense Network, @350pdx.bsky.social, and other community groups. 🎉⚖️
