Yesterday, we shared with the PCEF committee that, “Moving these dollars out of the hands of communities of color and into other program areas is not only unacceptable, but also sets a terrible precedent for other important ballot measures."

Politicians want to defend the status quo.
PB CLE wants to revitalize democracy because we know residents are the experts in their neighborhoods.
Together, with Issue 38, we are standing up against the status quo & fighting for a bigger vision of what our city can be. #YesOn38

58% of Portlanders approved Measure 26-228, which was crafted with major input from community members. The amendments Gonzalez and Ryan are floating haven't had the same process, and won't garner the same support. Council should not move forward with this. #orpol
Portland Commissioners Rene Gonzalez & Dan Ryan are exploring a ballot measure referral to dramatically tweak pending city govt overhaul.
*Give mayor veto power
*Reduce new 12-person council to 8
*Scrap RCV w/ 25% threshold; replace w/ instant-runoff RCV
