Editorial endorsement November 2024: For Portland mayor, vote Gonzalez as top choice; Rubio second

With the adoption of ranked-choice voting in Portland elections, voters for the first time will be able to mark their ballots for a second, third or …

Rally at 1pm Thurs outside #Portland City Hall to save #PortlandStreetResponse from the proposed budget cuts, and sign up to testify after. Street Response has been far more cost-effective than police on calls for welfare checks or dealing with mental health issues on our streets without guns.

Concerns over the future of the Portland Street Response program are growing as its cost and effectiveness are being scrutinized.

@futurebird teams like #PortlandStreetResponse who focus on making things better for our neighbors. #Portland is about to have a large change to City government and I’m honestly hoping that we can pull off the biggest “progressive-izations” possible. No more LARGE political donors controlling the mayor and certain city commissioners. We need to wake up and
