We talked about why local journalism is under existential threat, and how Senate Bill 686 in Oregon might help shift power away from Big Tech and back toward the people doing the actual reporting. Listen now, and share with someone who still believes that local news matters.

Big thanks to Mykal for taking the time, and for the work you're doing to make this city a little kinder, one cut at a time.
And thanks for listening to the show. Be sure to subscribe and share this episode with someone who might need a reminder that small things can be revolutionary. ❤️

No salons, no appointments-just sidewalk solidarity and a whole lot of compassion. Care doesn't always look like a grand gesture. Sometimes, it looks like a folding chair on a sidewalk and a pair of hands making someone feel seen again. Check out their great work at Hairstylistsforhumanity.org

This is a critical moment, just days ago, @opb.org reported that PDX Saints Love was excluded from the City’s recent Request for Proposals (RFP) — a funding decision that could shut down their vital day center. The decision raises serious questions about whose work gets valued and why.
