Please start an office of Community Wealth Building and follow the examples set by Evergreen Co-ops in Cleveland or the Preston Model in the UK. Less corporate welfare and more power directly in the hands of Oregonians!!!

We wouldn't need to rely on handouts from billionaires to prop up our healthcare system if they paid their fair share of taxes in the first place!

Hey Portland—check out this amazing video from @localfutures.bsky.social! You can make a difference by pledging to allocate a portion of your grocery budget toward a local CSA box (Hood River Organic, Organics to You), farmer’s market, or food co-op (Alberta Co-op Grocery, People's Food Co-op).

Today America got a powerful reminder of the importance of kindness, acceptance, & love—and the profound and lasting impact these values can have on a society. As we all remember Dolly, we're reminded there's another way. She touched our hearts and we ache so deeply because we're starving for unity.

The economy is rigged for the rich and powerful. Working people are fighting for scraps just to make ends meet in this economy. And workers are sick and tired of extreme corporate greed.

An insane milestone for human greed. A stack of $1 trillion would circle Earth nearly 3x. If you spent $1 million every day, it would take 2,740 YEARS to run out of cash. Yet there's no money to take care of our most vulnerable and ensure a decent quality of life for working people? #taxtherich

So the law lets PGE charge data centers a ton more, meanwhile they're not giving residential customers any kind of meaningful relief—so they can keep lining the pockets of their shareholders. Portland needs to own its own electric company (like Eugene).

These billionaires pay their workers so little that many of their workers need public assistance. Meanwhile, their companies just got another round of tax cuts from a bill that gutted the public assistance their workers have to rely on to get by. Trickle-down economics is a sham.

Portland’s economy appears to be struggling, so how do we fix it? While progressives cite everything from investment in green jobs, to building a skilled workforce with social programs, others, including the governor, are focused on using tax incentives to attract businesses investing in the state.
