🏳️‍⚧️ WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN! 🏳️‍⚧️ CHLA reversed its decision to pause initiating hormonal therapy for transgender youth. Gender affirming care is lifesaving care. We must continue to fight back, stay organized, and to demand institutions not give into Trumps fascist executive orders.

Can’t wait for tomorrow!! Join us to advocate for Renters at the Holgate Library at 11:30am.

LA Tenants Union is pretty amazing (@latenantsunion.bsky.social). Nothing like participating in confrontational eviction defense with a bunch of abuelas who learned during the United Farm Workers action. Talk about people who don't get rattled by cops!

We had an extremely bad-ass canvass crew go this morning to invite tenants to the Renters Town Hall. Join us next weekend! Come learn about the Renters’ Bill of Rights and share your stories with city councilors. 📅 Saturday, Feb 22nd ⏰ 11:30am - 12:30pm 📍Holgate Library 🚍Bus Line 17

Good reminder that one of our demands is for eviction protection surrounding weather events like ice and snow storms that wreck havoc on working class people who cannot make it to work or have other unexpected emergencies arise from a storm.

Huge props to all of our comrades who worked on the #Prop1A campaign. Hours upon hours working with @houseourneighbors.bsky.social on canvassing, phone banking, postering, and more led to a monumental WIN for the people of Seattle. Billion dollar corps can't buy the people's vote.

In the interest of transparency, I'm posting the complete resolution on Zenith oversight with attachments for public consumption co-sponsored with @councilormorillo.bsky.social , @councilordunphy.bsky.social , and Councilor Koyama Lane. www.portland.gov/council/dist...

Thank you!! It’s a can’t miss event!! Renter voices loud and clear!

We had a great canvass on Saturday inviting folks to our Renters’ Town Hall on Feb 22. We had 7 new to us canvassers, most had never gone door to door. Over 200 invites were distributed, and almost 20 new folks signed the Renters’ Bill of Rights. #portland #pdx #rentersrights #orpol

New Seasons Labor Union is on strike at the Arbor Lodge store! Show up if you can.

New account give us a boost! We have renter town halls coming soon to Portland 👀 Good year for Portland to enact a RENTER’S BILL OF RIGHTS! pdxrenterpower.com

Portland & wider Oregon friends, just in case you don’t have this number saved in your phone yet: hotline to report any EYEWITNESS accounts (not rumors!!) of ICE activity.

I wrote about my brief unlikely local politics interlude for @thecut.com. Written with love for Portland & loathing for the genocidal clowns who made national politics so alienating. If you have an amazing friend maybe you can accidentally be her campaign manager too. www.thecut.com/article/how-...

I have received a number of messages urging me to oppose our sanctuary laws, for worry they hinder the city’s ability to address unsheltered homelessness. Let me be very clear: Immigrants and asylum seekers have my unwavering support, as do the poorest among us forced to live on the streets.
