Next Wednesday. The Supreme Court hears oral arguments. Will communities of color have meaningful representation in government? The Voting Rights Act & our right to a free, fair, and representative democracy hang in the balance. Participate live or online: www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen...

Oh that this were true. There are too many people suffering in inhumane detention camps to agree. They are simply awful.

What to do if you sight ICE? π¨ Call the PIRC hotline, which has trained validation and followup volunteers.
Put the number in your phone: PIRC 1-888-622-1510. And as Councilor Avalos reminds us, share CLEAR information about your sighting: (Count, Location, equipment, activity and Report time.)

HD52 spans 4 counties: Multnomah, Clackamas, Hood River and Wasco County. It takes patience and stick-to-itiveness to organize canvassers and volunteers and to listen to differences across regions. ##

every two years, so we'll be working to defend all of our seats, especially in East County where get out the vote efforts are super important. And here's something we can all get behind: Nick Walden Poublon @nwpinpdx.bsky.social is running to represent HD52. Talk about a hard working guy! /3

Christina Stephenson has filed to run for Labor Commissioner. About half of the state Senate seats in Oregon are up for re-election, but we haven't heard of anything surprising for Multnomah County related representation. When it comes to the Oregon House, every position is up for election /2

Filing is underway for candidates running for state and federal office in Oregon. @jeff-merkley.bsky.social, @repdexteror.bsky.social, @bynum.house.gov and @repbonamici.bsky.social are all running for re-election to federal office. No surprises there. π§΅
