"We must not forget Oregon Democrats’ betrayal on PERS. Organized labor should hold accountable those who side with a corporate capitalist agenda at the expense of workers."

I would like to acknowledge everyone currently engaged in direct action at city hall. Although I am out of town, my staff have notified me of your efforts and I want to say: I see you and I hear you. Even before entering office, I have not been shy about my stance on fossil fuel infrastructure, climate change, and its impacts on our communities. While the wheels of action may move slower than we’d like, I have been, and remain committed, to working with you on this issue. For those who have been following or are interested about the Zenith Oil Terminal, the Mayor has scheduled a work session for July 15 (time and location TBD). We have one planet, and we have one chance to get it right – thank you for serving as a reminder on how our time to get it right becomes shorter with each passing day, and that we need to work together to ensure a livable and sustainable future.
