It's a wall of DSA tables at the big rally today!

Two people at No Kings march in Portland holding up a red and white sign “The struggle continues when we fight we win” and a yellow skateboard “i’d rather be taking public transit. Stop the sweeps.”

When we fight, we win. @portlanddsa.bsky.social

Thank the 6 PDX City Councilors who stood up for Gaza! Ask the other 6 to do the same! On Friday, October 17, Portland City Councilors held a press conference to announce the launch of a national pledge to investigate local economic and infrastructural ties to the genocide in Gaza. Hal...

Hey PDX it's a big deal that SIX members aka HALF of our City Council just pledged to investigate local complicity with genocide. They had a press conference about it & already are getting hate mail from genocide apologists. Please click through & thank them!!! actionnetwork.org/letters/than...

Portland City Council is Using City Codes to Fight Back Against Trump Two resolutions approved by Portland City Council on Wednesday aim to strengthen the city’s sanctuary status and use all available legal resources to resist deployment of any federal military presence...

“Let’s be clear, there is no America without immigrants. There are only Americans who have forgotten their immigration story," said Mercedes Elizalde, urging a ‘yes’ vote on both resolutions. Portland's sanctuary status is now in city code. Other policies were approved to fight federal overreach.

We just submitted public comment on the CEI Hub Policy Project on behalf of @orsierraclub.bsky.social, @portlanddsa.bsky.social, @350pdx.bsky.social, @oregonpsr.bsky.social, @braidedriverpdx.bsky.social, @birdallianceoregon.bsky.social + many more.

You have until 5 PM today to submit! 👇

Congratulations!

You Can't Bust Us! Unions are how workers defend themselves against capital- nothing else really works! 👍

Rallying with PSU's Adjunct Faculty Union to celebrate their victory over the predatory union-busting practices of the University!

Voting yes on the Portland Parks Levy because our parks are a blessed part of the Portland experience and @portlanddsa.bsky.social
is a proud endorser of the measure!

📢Rally with caregivers TODAY at 4:30, who are fighting to protect the care our community deserves!

Walking the line at Kaiser in Portland!

Kaiser's CEO makes $7,211 an hour while nurses and clinicians stay understaffed and overworked.

Fair wages now!!

This is a must-read. 👇

OFNHP Pres Sarina Roher explains why Kaiser caregivers are striking—for safe staffing, respect & a healthcare system that listens to those who provide the care.

Read her letter in The Oregonian:

#OneVoiceOneFightOneFuture #KaiserStrike

"Every day, health care workers are doing everything possible to keep compassion alive in a system that’s stretched to its breaking point. But no amount of dedication can overcome chronic understaffing, morale injury & the refusal of executives to listen to the people who actually provide the care."

Portland DSA supports a total restriction on any new liquid fuel infrastructure at the CEI Hub along with a managed decline of existing fuel storage capacity.

We must do everything we can to make Portlanders and our environment safe from a world-historic petrochemical disaster in our city.

🛢️ Zenith Energy update 🧵 🛢️

Last week, Oregon DEQ approved Zenith's air permit. DEQ officials argued publicly that the permit represents an improvement in air quality because of supposed concessions.

Instead, adding risk to an already highly risky situation is a betrayal of the public interest.

Portland DSA endorses Dr. Tammy Carpenter for OR House District 27!

Tammy is a mom, a physician, and a democratic socialist. She will champion fully-funded schools, a Universal Health Plan in Oregon, public transportation, and a statewide Renters' Bill of Rights! Learn more: tammyfororegon.com

Glad these bozos were kept out of the NW Oregon labor council thanks to the pressure campaign led by @portlanddsa.bsky.social and trade union militants!

A couple of years ago, the Democrats in the Oregon legislature passed a domestic terrorism law over of the objection of civil liberties advocates, environmentalists, and ordinarily reasonable Oregonians who told them this would only be used against the left.

It fits right in with Trump’s strategy.

And this from earlier today:

This is a lesson in messaging discipline from our DSA Socialists in Office

Trump is ready to platform every regional crank and reactionary to try to portray Portland as a war zone.

But he already lost this battle.

He’s been exposed (again) as a brazen liar who will say anything to get what he wants.

Trump doesn’t care about anyone, least of all the people of Portland

Wide shot of the audience at the International Meeting Against War in Paris. They are watching speakers on a large screen.

DSA member Andrew Basta addresses the audience at the International Meeting Against War in Paris. Basta, who has a beard and glasses and is wearing a red and white keffiyeh, speaks at the podium. His image is also on the main screen for the large crowd.

We were proud to join comrades across Europe and the world in Paris to demand an end to war and to strengthen international coordination against the genocide in Palestine.

We join their call to say: Not a penny, not a weapon, not a human life for war!
