I hope the 3 folks in this picture who voted against funding the city's commitment to uplifting BIPOC communities know we won't forget that because they posed for a photo on MLK Day.
As white nationalism has become more mainstream and as pervasive racism, xenophobia, anti-Black, and anti-immigrant sentiment continue to affect our institutions, our communities, and our young people, the work for justice is needed more than ever. #SKBreakfast

East Portland is a growing and evolving community that has been waiting too long for promises by city leaders to be realized. I am running for Portland City Council District 1 to be East Portland's champion in City Hall!

Today, @multco sued the largest fossil fuel companies to hold them accountable for the impacts of the 2021 heat dome & for the costs of protecting our community from the continuing impacts of climate change. Proud to take this necessary action.
#ClimateAccountability
A sad day indeed and another day where those most impacted and vulnerable are left out of care from the so called “leadership” that is also constantly promising Portland to be better. Better for who?
Portland City Council has officially passed the camping ban ordinance, creating a dire situation for the vulnerable communities on our streets and the service providers who will have to work tirelessly to support these humans and reduce harm. A sad day for Portland.

.@trimet is proposing to increase their fares in 2024. If you ask me I think TriMet can work on a better plan to accommodate for inflation and go fareless instead. #notcool #nofarehike @farelesstransit
How can this fare increase impact you or someone you know negatively?

“This course needs to be everywhere people want it and probably in places where they don’t…The reframing and expanding of Black history, to be larger than enslavement and civil rights, is a really big deal.”
A joy to spend time @leodis_v for this:
