How to engage with Portland’s new city government More than two years after Portlanders voted to overhaul their local form of government, the new system is up and running.

Link to submit testimony in comments!

This is very useful. See your senator? Dislike what you see? Call them and tell them to stop voting for Trump's nominees and bills. 202-224-3121
