On Tuesday, Oct 6 between 6-8pm, the City of Portland is hosting the second public listening session to hear Portlander's thoughts and desires for the October 28th Fall Budget Monitoring Process (Fall BMP) council hearing and vote.
The Oct 28 Fall BMP is the council's next opportunity to make decisions or amend how the city spends its money. We are in the midst of multiple crises and I have no interest in rebuilding the inequitable Portland that existed before this series of crises.
Now is the time to #RethinkPortland and I want to hear from you.
