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.

☑️ Sign up for live virtual testimony here:
portlandoregon.gov/cbo/article/62… by Monday, October 5 at 4:00pm.
☑️ If you cannot provide live testimony you can send written comments to the City Budget Office, which will be shared with all of Council: portlandoregon.gov/cbo/61969

As the details over the 56 deputized PPB officers continue to unfold, I want to be clear where I stand: under no conditions should these deputized officers be out on Portland’s streets or responding to protests. (1/5)
Until the deputation is rescinded, I’m asking my colleagues to join me in demanding the Police Commissioner and Police chief pull the deputized officers immediately. (2/5)
This is a clear attempt by the federal government to take over our local police force, circumvent DA Schmidt’s protest arrest policy, and threaten everyone’s right to free speech and assembly. I do not take any of this lightly. (3/5)

Upon entering City Hall, one of my goals has been to increase hygiene services for our houseless neighbors.
Recently HUCIRP began distributing 100 additional portable bathrooms throughout the City, which has been met with some unacceptable hostility. Full Statement in thread.
Recently the Homeless Urban Camping Impact Reduction Program (HUCIRP) began distributing 100 additional portable bathrooms throughout the City, with locations based on extensive research and data to make sure they are distributed equitably and where they are most needed.
I am enthusiastically in support of this FEMA & CARES Act funded effort, which could not be more important than during a global health pandemic where risks of COVID-19 exposure can be mitigated through good hygiene practices such as washing your hands.
