Month: September 2016

7:30pm: Bernie PDX voted to endorse Chloe Eudaly for Portland City Council, and she’s coming to our Tuesday meeting! Like Bernie, Chloe will work solely in the interests of the people, because she doesn’t take money from corporations, wealthy developers, or fossil fuel interests, unlike her opponent Steve Novick. Join us to hear about how Chloe will bring Bernie’s values to Portland! Suggested donation of $10, but it’s not required for attendance.

Ballots go out in FIVE WEEKS!

There are two candidates currently running for City Council. Come help elect the only one who doesn’t take money from Comcast, property management firms, wealthy developers, or the fossil fuel industry!

Chloe will fight for rent stabilization and just cause evictions for tenants, and a healthy environment for all. She’d be the only City Commissioner who lives on the Eastside! We have to change the the priorities of our City Council, and Chloe is the person to tip the scales in our favor.

Spend Saturday afternoon working to save our city! There will be music, snacks, and excellent company. Click here to RSVP! Watershed PDX 5040 SE Milwaukie Ave. Portland

Join Bernie PDX to volunteer for Chloe Eudaly for Portland City Council to help get the word out about Chloe’s candidacy! We’ll be helping with mailers — one of the simplest but most important campaign tasks.

Spend Sunday afternoon hanging out with great people and making a difference in your community! We’ll have some snacks, feel free to bring some to share if you’d like. We’ll be there from 12-4, please stop by to help change our city! Watershed PDX, 5040 SE Milwaukie Ave, Portland

We’ll also talk about upcoming events and give a recap on the Portland City Council campaign finance hearing at 7pm on 9/8 at Matt Dishman Community Center, Chloe Eudaly’s campaign kick-off on 9/10 in Lents Park, 1-3pm, James Ofsink’s events at Watershed, and more!

Attend the Portland City Council Forum on Campaign Finance Reform!

On Sept. 8, Commissioner Fritz will hold a public forum on a campaign reform proposal that could become law in the very near future (as in weeks from now) — if we can demonstrate that there is widespread public support for enacting campaign finance reform in Portland. So, let’s pack the building! There are currently NO campaign finance limits in Oregon, so this is a huge opportunity to bring more voices into politics, and get big money out!

We need to show massive public support at this hearing so our City Commissioners will vote YES! 7:00-8:30pm at Matt Dishman Community Center, 77 NE Knott St, Portland, Oregon 97212.
