A good UNION job took my dad and our family from poverty to the middle class. Whether it was working as a school custodian or the work I did as a critical care nurse, I’ve seen the power of collective action up close and personal. Happy Labor Day! #Unions #workers

1. I spend a lot of time talking about transgender youth healthcare with people who are uncertain about it. A large number of my readers are politically moderate and trying to learn. Today, I laid out my case against bans for my readers who fit that mold. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The Moderate Case Against Trans Youth Healthcare Bans

The disinformation on transgender youth healthcare is extreme, and many people hold weakly held opinions on that care. I talk about how to move the needle with those who are uncertain.

Overall Friends of PSR applauds the big announcement on PSR. The ability to respond to more call types and voluntarily transport people to services furthers development as a branch of our first-response system. We are concerned about potential increased proximity to law enforcement activities. 🧵⬇️

Mayor Wilson announced he has made unilateral policy decisions with major implications for the future of Portland Street Response. Overall, Friends of PSR applauds this announcement. The ability to both respond to more call types and voluntarily transport people to services furthers PSR’s development as an effective and co-equal branch of the first-responder system.

We are concerned about PSR’s potential increased proximity to law enforcement activities, which could undermine PSR’s original mission as an unarmed, independent 911 response that provides an effective alternative to police for people in crisis. It is also something explicitly warned against by the last independent program evaluation. Independent evaluations of PSR should be re-established to guide how these developments maintain PSR’s mission to provide the right response to each call type and location.
