This Indigenous People’s Day, let’s remember that our city exists on the unceded lands of the Multnomah Chinook, Clackamas, Cowlitz, Cow Creek, Siuslaw, Umpqua, and countless other nations who have been on these lands since time immemorial. Native people are still here.
The reality of colonization is that it is ongoing. Native people are the most over-policed of any racial group in the US. When we talk about Rethinking Public Safety, we must ensure Indigenous people are not targets of police violence.
But local law enforcement is not the only concern of Indigenous communities. We must remember that refugees and immigrants crossing the southern US border are Indigenous. The horrors they face in ICE camps and prisons, and targeting by Border Patrol, are issues we must address.

The attacks on the @PDXArtMuseum and @OrHist were wrong-headed. Public access to art is vital to our city’s cultural fabric. I condemn all acts of violence and destruction, especially those targeting museums and public art.
As your next Mayor, I’m ready to move this city forward, from rethinking public safety to changing place names and removing statues. If someone would like a statue removed, they can engage our public process to register that complaint and I’ll push City Council to listen and act
Our systems of government have long ignored problematic symbols and impacts of institutional racism, I am committed to changing that as mayor. People are hurting and that pain is valid.

BREAKING NEWS: Last night Ted Wheeler admitted that he loaned his own campaign $150,000 two weeks ago - a flagrantly illegal use of his own personal fortune to finance an election for Mayor.
The city charter is clear: “A Candidate or Candidate Committee may receive only the following Contributions during any Election Cycle: … (3) A loan balance of not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000) from the candidate;”
Wheeler’s loan to his own campaign is a blatant violation of the City Charter and election laws that over 87% of Portlanders voted to adopt. He’s trying to buy this election with his inheritance. He knows the people of Portland are ready to unseat him.

We are two days from our biggest fundraising deadline ever. September is the last full month of OAE’s 600% match on Portland donations. Only two weeks of public match remain! Can you contribute any amount $5-$250 to help us reach more voters? sarah2020.com/donate
As a reminder, your first $50 in the general is matched 600% by Portland’s groundbreaking public finance laws - Open and Accountable Elections. The only way this race has been competitive is because we have our grassroots donor power amplified by this amazing program.
Most elections are determined by whoever has the most money. Open and Accountable Elections rewrites the rulebook. Our opponent is mostly taking massive checks from downtown - our donors are all over Portland and average ~$38. To win, we need everyone to give anything they can!

Tomorrow, once again, right-wing extremists plan to invade our city, incite riots, and attack marginalized communities. Whether it be proud boys, patriot prayer, or other organizations affiliated with white nationalism and chauvinism, they and their hate are not welcome here.
But statements are not enough. We elect leaders to take decisive action when needed. Ted Wheeler should have long ago listened to experts advising him to use legal remedies available to enjoin the rally from ever happening.
He must commit resources to local communities already working to provide safe alternatives to the violence that will occur at the hands of extremists. As usual, our current Mayor has failed to heed the community’s demand for action.

Once again, the Mayor fails to address the elephant in the room on discussions of violence in Portland. He refuses to say their names or acknowledge these victims of police violence are why Portland demands we rethink public safety.

The following is all data from portlandcopwatch.org and I encourage my supporters to learn this history of Portland, and throw them a couple dollars to ensure we always have this resource.
