A recent study says most people agree: communities shouldn't pay for climate damages. The corporations responsible should. #MakePollutersPay Read more: oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/09/03/o...
Illustration of a billionaire Big Oil executive dressed in a business suit holding a money bag on the shore of a body of water with a powerplant and oil rig in the background. Overlayed on top is a quote from the Oregon Capital Chronical that says "'Most of my colleagues in both parties, directly or indirectly, get funding from [Oil lobby groups] who come in and say the sky is going to fall if we implement this,' Golden said. 'I think what legislators need to continually hear is that if you are saying 'no' to polluter pays, you are saying 'yes' to your constituents paying. There's not a third choice.'"Illustration in pink ink on a bright yellow background of a group of community members making art that says 'Make Polluters Pay'. Handwritten pink text says 'When we organize, we can reqrite the rules and build something more honest, and more prepared for the future we deserve." Overlayed is a quote from the Oregon Capital Chronical newspaper that says "[Researchers] found that supporters of climate Superfunds dominated public hearings about the proposals, and the ratio of support to opposition was roughly 3:1 in nearly every state. California and Oregon saw more than twice the amount of testimony in favor of the climate superfund bills as any other state."Black illustration on a highlighter yellow background of people holding protest signs and chanting.

🦀 What happens in Coos Bay affects the rest of Oregon: "It's critical that Portland and other cities pressure our representatives for investments that make our communities healthier, not one that will bring unnecessary congestion through our regions." #CommunityNotContainers #NoPCIP
Text screen shot from the Willamette Week: "What happens in Coos Bay Could slow Portland traffic: Coos Bay? Who cares? What happens in Coos Bay stays in Coos Bay...or so I thought. But if the governor and congressional delegation have their way, the Port of coos Bay will contribute to additional rail and traffic congestion from Eugene gto Portland by building the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port (PCIP).Screen shot of text from the Willamette Week: "Railed" [WW, May 20]  described the rail congestion problems north of Brooklyn Yard. The Union Pacific/Norfolk Southern merger will increase Portland rail traffic by 22%. The increase from PCIP containers does not appear to be included in this estimate, but its local impact should be on Portland's radar."Screenshot from Willamette Week: "The PCIP is a $2.3 billion proposal to move containers from Coos Bay to Eugene on double-stacked 1.7-mile long trainns - six round trips per day. While PCIP planners have not specified how these trains would move from Eugene to Portland, rail experts say UP is the most likely carrier. That means additional construction, train crossings, traffic congestion and Amtrak delays in Eugene, Salem, Woodburn and Portland.Screenshot of Willamette Week Text: "The title of Nigel Jaquiss' article says it all: "Oregon's leading Politicians Want to Bet Billions of Dollars on a New Shipping Terminal. Ciritics Say it's a Costly Mistake". Proponents include both US senators, Rep Val Hoyle and Gov Kotek. Whether Coos County residents actually support the project appears to be irrelevant. It's critical that Portland and other cities pressure our representatives for investments that make our communities healthier, not one that will bring unnecessary congestion through our regions.

🎉 Last night, Ashland City Council unanimously passed the first reading of the youth-led Pollution Fee ordinance. On to the final reading on Tuesday, February 4th! The Pollution Fee will help improve indoor air quality, save money on energy bills and help the city start meeting its climate goals.
Photo of youth in the dark behind cardboard letters that are lit up and spell "FOSSIL FREE". Text says: "Ashland City Council unanimously passes reading of youth-led climate policy! Take action: Tell Ashland to pass the Pollution Fee at the FINAL VOTE on Tuesday, February 4th!"
Black text on a muted rainbow gradient background: "The Pollution Fee would incentivize building new homes with safe, efficient electric appliances by charging a fee for installing gas appliances in new residential buildings. The pollution fee would: improve indoor air quality, save residents $ on energy bills, help meet climate goals, and pave the way for future action!
