Dear John,

Last month, Multnomah County was poised to approve a budget cut ([link removed]) that would have undermined over a decade of local climate leadership. County commissioners considered eliminating the Multnomah County Office of Sustainability – an essential hub for climate action and environmental justice.

But together we sent a clear message: climate leadership is not optional.

The Multnomah County budget process has now come to a close ([link removed]) , and while the final outcome includes difficult compromises – a 1.5 FTE cut that will likely result in the loss of a position – it also reflects the strength and determination of a broad community committed to climate justice. We are grateful to the Commissioners who chose to protect this work and to the many individuals and groups who mobilized alongside us. Our efforts made a difference.

In solidarity,

The Breach Team
