Small signs of resistance in the "big city" of Salem, OR. Check out a book, while you still can.

Dems are hoping that is the messaging that comes across and not how many of them have no desire to get rid of ICE once they win. They haven't just said it out loud by saying no to abolish ICE, they proudly put it in a resolution.

Yes, but it's not that simple, imho. Who funds those funders? At the root of a lot of those branches, are the taxpayers, consumers

Next Tuesday, the Portland Public Schools Board will unveil which schools may close. 🫨 Mobilize to Pause School Closures: Rally & Board Meeting at 501 N. Dixon - Wear Blue! Rally @ 5 Board Meeting @ 6 💙 RSVP Here: secure.ngpvan.com/OVEJfy82WEOI...
Tell the PPS Board on 10/6: Pause School Closures!

In two weeks, the PPS School Board will unveil potential school closure and consolidation scenarios. A growing movement of educators and families have are asking for answers to basic questions, such as:

    How will this impact class sizes?

    Will closing and consolidating schools actually address declining enrollment? What else can be or should be done to grow enrollment and increase public school participation.

    What money will be saved, if any, when a school is closed or consolidated? Who will be laid off? Who will be transferred?

    Will any school closures/consolidations actually create equity across schools and neighborhoods? If so, how?

Educators and families agree that the status quo in too many of our schools is untenable. We believe that with the right support and investments, our schools can thrive. Closing and consolidating schools is not a plan, it's a reaction. In the words of a parent at a recent school board meeting, “A bad process will lead to bad outcomes.”  Educators and families deserve a plan for investment, not a plan to close/consolidate. 

The PPS School Board has a chance to show real leadership and vote to pause any vote on school closures and consolidations until educators and families have their answers addressed and can give real input. Join us on 10/6 to urge the Board to make the right choice.

Political campaigns are very good at taking from communities. They take our money, our time, our data, our attention. Then Election Day comes, and most of what they built disappears. We think campaigns should leave something bigger and better behind:
