Dear John,
Last month, Multnomah County was poised to approve a budget cut 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.
Through public testimony, organizing, letters, and direct advocacy, community members, advocacy organizations, and partners across the region demonstrated the widespread support for preserving the County’s sustainability and climate programs. And it worked.
