“These employers refuse to acknowledge that their worker’s wages are not keeping up with the cost of living, leaving them and their families at risk while providing food for our community.” – UFCW 555 Secretary-Treasurer Sandy Humphrey

Support Portland Teachers:

The staffing crisis, substitute shortage, and intense student needs are bringing schools and classrooms across the district to the breaking point. The Portland Public School Board needs to know that we stand with teachers! Send an email to your School Board member and sign the petition to support Portland teachers and students. 

Support the Causa Workers Union:

The union of workers at Causa Oregon won recognition of their Union – Unidxs Por La Causa – in March 2020. They have been bargaining to secure a fair contract for nearly two years. Sign the petition to tell Causa to stop union busting and negotiate a fair contract.

Call Commissioner Dan Ryan today and tell him that Portlanders need the Tenant Protection Ordinance, 503-823-3589. Landlord harassment must stop!
