Everything is stupid and dangerous right now, but in Portland, we have an opportunity to make something a little less stupid and a lot less dangerous!

Tell PDX planners to stop adding fuel storage at the CEI Hub and to plan a drawdown of existing fuel storage! 👇

Everything is stupid and dangerous right now, *but* we have an opportunity to make a least one thing less stupid and dangerous.

Please submit a comment to the PDX city planners asking them to prevent any further expansion of liquid fuel storage at the CEI Hub and mandate a fuel drawdown.

In sum, there are serious concerns about the quality of investigations into Zenith that city council called for.

It’s worth sitting down and attentively reading the whole thing.

This is an attack on working families and local democracy.

Jesus.

Last Friday, our members voted unanimously to leave the NW Oregon Labor Council if the Portland Police Association is affirmed as an affiliate by delegates.

We will not pay dues to an organization that fights against police accountability measures and supports efforts to intimidate city councilors.

For those who don't know, there is a battle over whether or not the Portland Police Association (PPA) will be allowed to join the Northwest Oregon Labor Council, the large regional labor coalition. They were invited summarily by a leader and are being supported by unions who pay for votes. 🧵
