Although Bernie ended his campaign, he is still asking us to vote for him in the primary to get as many delegates as possible. Having a large number of delegates will give our movement greater influence over the party’s decision-making at the convention.

RESCHEDULED —> ONLINE! The Candidates Forum for Position 2 will be held as an online event on THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 6-8 PM. Our community needs and organizing tactics have shifted in response to the coronavirus crisis. It is a time of great fear and loss, but also one of opportunity. It is more important than ever to join together to build the world we want to live in together. Let’s see how these candidates support our shared vision of a just, egalitarian and liberatory home for all. Please sign up to join us at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pmpc-unite-oregon-candidates-forum-tickets-102912672574, and we will send you the link to join the call.
Unite Oregon is defending the rights of immigrants and refugees.
The PMPC’s 2020 Platform protects renters, supports our houseless neighbors, demands police accountability, criminal justice reform, environmental justice and ending money in politics, taxes the rich for quality public services and expands what public services do. These are big ideas, and they will only be achieved by building power from below. We are committed to working together to build that strong, coordinated, unified and strategic grassroots power. But we also need government leaders who will support and stay accountable to our grassroots movements.
JOIN US for this discussion and PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
BerniePDX is a proud member of the Portland People’s Coalition.

Hi all,
We’ve all been going through it, but we just wanted to say that no matter what, we look forward to continuing to build the Political Revolution that Bernie inspired with you all!
When Bernie’s campaign for President ended in 2016, we transitioned to supporting local candidates, causes, and events. We’ll continue the fight to elect candidates who share Bernie’s values, and support local efforts that further the Political Revolution.
As Bernie said, our efforts are transforming this country: “It was not long ago that people considered [our] ideas radical and fringe. Today, they are mainstream ideas – and many of them are already being implemented in cities and states across the country. That’s what you accomplished.”
We hope you’ll join our Zoom video call, BerniePDX Community Emotional Support and Discussion About Next Steps for the Revolution, Sunday 4/12 at 7:00pm. More details below.
Thanks for all you do, and for being part of our community!
Solidarity forever,
The BerniePDX Leadership Team
We are all devastated and grieving now that Bernie has suspended his campaign. If we weren’t under stay at home orders, we would come together in person to support each other. Let’s do the next best thing and come together online. Let’s listen and support each other, build our community virtually, and talk next steps. Many of us have put our heart and soul into this campaign and feel like we are losing a part of ourselves. It’s important to be able to be in community with others who have a shared experience.
Join us for this two hour zoom video call. The first part will be an opportunity to express your emotions with others that are feeling similar things. The second part will be planning steps to move forward with the revolution.
For the last five years Bernie’s agenda has been getting national attention. Now, during the crisis of the Coronavirus, Bernie has been doing such a phenomenal job advocating for the people. More and more are realizing the need for the values and leadership that he promotes, as people lose their jobs and health insurance and see that their personal safety nets and our countrywide safety nets were grossly inadequate.
Here’s the link to sign up & join the call: https://us04web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIudOupqD0jpvBa9XCbV69hysL2cGcrGw
You are not alone! It’s not him, it’s us. He may have suspended his campaign but we can’t suspend the movement. Strength in solidarity!
