Our community is devastated by the loss of of Grey Wolfe, a pedestrian using Cesar Chavez boulevard.

Last budget cycle I tried to bring an amendment to fund improvements to this road. My office is working to find funding for safety improvements again.

This can’t be the norm anywhere in Portland.
"Grey was a therapist, an activist, and an inspiration and support to many Portlanders over the decades. She would post activist posters on fence outside her office so people passing by on the sidewalk could learn from their messages." - Lois Leveen

Woman killed on Cesar Chavez was on daily walk, just two blocks from her home
Grey Wolfe is remembered as a mother, counselor, and activist.

Today Portland City Council will have a final hearing and vote on my Algorithmic Price Fixing Ban!

So grateful for leaders like @agdanrayfield.bsky.social for leading the charge in the courts. Corporations should not be taking advantage of regular people for profit. Affordable rent NOW!

Trump is ending SNAP benefits on October 31st. That means that roughly 1 in 6 Oregonians will be losing their food assistance come November 1st.

Here's how you can access food assistance if you need it, plus ways to support those who do. Please share with your communities. 🫂

We passed both of these *unanimously* tonight. Thanks to everyone who turned up tonight to join in denouncing this administration and supporting the case for codifying our commitment to protecting our immigrant neighbors.
Next week City Council will hear a pair of legislation that formally denounces the Trump Administration's attempt to terrorize our city with militarized units, while codifying Sanctuary City status protections. Portlanders have been waiting for a formal expression of City's Council will on this.

Portlanders will not be cowed by this administration. When undignitaries like Kristi Noem visit for their photo ops and get mocked by people in animal costumes it’s because that’s the level of respect they deserve. Doing the work of mass deportation is the least honorable thing a person can do.
