One thing is certain. Portland’s white elite elected’s historic tactic of pitting BIPOC against BIPOC based on tokenism is very alive & well
We haven’t forgotten; that being said we appreciate being seen in this work just a reminder it was more BIPOC orgs calling out broken process than just EGC.

A recent and high-profile fumble was led by the Portland City Council’s socialist members, who nearly all publicly expressed remorse afterward.

Not apologizing for having real human emotions while the world is on fire. People are being killed for seeking aid and snatched off streets without due process. You can have your opinion on how I should act—I’m allowed to disagree. Anyway, back to my staycation so I can rest before the next battle 👋🏾

Small steps create big efforts. 😉
I told my bestie I felt guilty that I couldn't commit to growing vegetables in my garden because it's too hard, and instead I'm growing flowers this year. And she told me "flowers are important because we need more bees and bugs and butterflies!" 🥹 This perspective is needed rn, we all play a part 🫶🏾

Today was a great day for pro-housing policies in Oregon!
HB 2138 and SB 684 both passed out of their second chamber today in the Legislature.
These two bills were top PNW priorities this session. Thank you so much for your support!

ICE is playing up damage to its Portland building to justify closing its doors to the public, complicating both regular and arbitrary appointments for immigrants and their lawyers.
Detainees transferred to Tacoma endure much worse conditions and are likely to spend longer periods in detainment. 1/

Feds’ closure of ICE building blocks immigrants’ access to critical legal aid
ICE claims it hasn't changed its operations, but immigration attorneys, advocates and families report roiling confusion after finding the Portland location closed.
