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.
Saturday, Sept. 24, 12:00-4:00pm: Envelope Stuffing Party for Chloe Eudaly Round 2!
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
Sunday, Sept. 18, 12:00-4:00pm: Bernie PDX Envelope Stuffing Party for Chloe Eudaly for Portland City Council

Thursday, Sept. 8, 7:00pm: Come Support Campaign Finance Reform in Portland!
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.

Bernie PDX 2016 Endorsements
We are thrilled to announce the Bernie PDX endorsements for 2016:
– Chloe Eudaly for Portland City Council
– James Ofsink for Oregon Senate District 21
– Amanda Schroeder for East Multnomah County
– Yes on 26-184: Honest Elections Multnomah County
– Yes On 97: A Better Oregon
Visit our 2016 Endorsements page to learn more about our endorsees and why Bernie PDX voted for them!
We’ll be inviting our endorsees back to our weekly Tuesday meeting so Bernie PDX members can get to know them better, learn how they will change our region for the better, and find out how we can help! James Ofsink will be joining us on Sept. 6 at 7:30pm, 5040 SE Milwuakie Ave.
We believe these candidates and initiatives embody Bernie’s values, and will bring important elements of Bernie’s platform to our region.
The candidates do not accept corporate contributions. Like Bernie, they will work solely in the interests of the people. They are all running grassroots campaigns against establishment opponents backed by big-money donors, like Comcast and wealthy developers. One initiative will make corporations pay their fair share, and the other will enact county-wide campaign finance limits, in a state without any.
* ONLY 10 WEEKS UNTIL ELECTION DAY! *
