About the event
Tuesday, September 3, at 7 pm, at this Zoom link. The agenda will include:
- Police accountability organizing with Je Amaechi, Reimagining Community Safety Manager, Unite Oregon
- Universal Preschool NOW! campaign to fully fund and rollout Preschool For All with Mary King, Professor of Economics Emerita, Portland State University
- Jewish Voice for Peace Portland's work toward permanent ceasefire and end to the occupation in Palestine with Cynthia Gilliam
- Critical Energy Infrastructure (CEI) Hub climate crisis organizing with Dave King of Climate Jobs PDX
- Reportbacks on grocery workers strikes, other progressive campaign updates, and candidate news, endorsements and events
Finally, we will also discuss our PMPC Bill of Rights and 2024 Policy Platform. Since 2018, the PMPC has been organizing around a shared platform of campaigns led by PMPC Participating Organizations that is voted on by the Coalition. Over the years, campaigns such as Real Police Accountability, Portland Clean Energy Fund, Universal Preschool NOW!, and Honest Elections have won, and we continue to support the issues that remain, including a right to rest for our houseless neighbors, publicly owned municipal services such as banking and broadband, and tenant and environmental protections. Please join us as we continue to find ways to build community support for these important ongoing campaigns for a healthy and just Portland metro region this electoral season and beyond.
