Quick ask before midnight

We’ve fallen a little behind because we’ve been focused on defending Oregonians from Trump’s attacks on our democracy.   This is the final time we’ll ask, John: Will you make a quick $10.31 donation before midnight? You’re probably busy with Halloween plans, but we have an October…

Updates on Portland and the Republican power grab

  John –  President Trump is still fighting tooth and nail to send the National Guard into Portland. We fought back and won a temporary victory that prevented him from invading our city – but after a recent ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the future is uncertain.  A…
