Oh hey! That’s a good quote that I don’t remember saying (interview was awhile ago). Thanks for sharing @emily-vwg.bsky.social!

A vision of integrating housing for people who are not wealthily with transit and environmental justice.

Mayor of San Diego bringing it at @naehomelessness.bsky.social leadership conference - our biggest issue to end and prevent homelessness is not enough housing!

I am sick to my stomach

Here’s something! I was POLLED about this case. They changed some details but def had to be this case. I took it in the last week!The poll was focused on the hospitals responsibility. I’ve Never seen a poll about a legal case!

Leading up to that.. Eric Lee Atty
Kids screaming "Let us out! Let us out!"

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Be still my heart @councilordunphy.bsky.social. The city that plans not the city that works. My research in a nutshell. ❤️

One year, when I taught in the real estate grad program, I started with the stereotype of The Evil Developer. I worked with a planner who kept a list of movies that featured evil developers or development. Then one of their assignments was to create the hero developer.

Almost exactly 18k saved in this household thanks to PfA. ❤️

Want to be crystal clear that when I say "overall filers" I mean the number of households (7%) who pay this tax has grown even if the tippy top of this top 7% did not. The bottom line is that overall we have seen growth in the no. of households earning over 200k/yr! www.portland.gov/council/dist...

Preschool for All Public Hearing Wednesday August 20th 501 SE HAWTHORNE FAMILY FRIENDLY Rally at 5:30 Gather outside Multnomah Building 6-8 Show our power at public hearing Bring your kids and signs!

It’s time! Join @friendsofpfa.bsky.social for a rally TODAY. Then MC listening session about indexing. What’s that? Who cares. It’s not what we voted for, uses false narratives, & won’t improve programs or access. I’m a PfA mom and a certified smart person. I know indexing is the wrong question.

Write your thoughts down!! We can do this y’all!

Great thread and supporting responses sharing great information about preschool for all.

I’m testifying 8/28. Join me! If you’re nervous lmk and I will cheer you on! I’m bringing my kiddo. Preschool is closed that week. Bring yours!

And rollout of any major program is going to be tough, let alone during COVID. As a mom to a 4.5 year old in a PfA school, I can offer ideas for improvement, but at the end of the day the moms I know and myself will take free and govt backed/monitored in a heartbeat.

lol I did not edit my screen shot. And look - it turned out to be a great opportunity to learn more about Friends of PfA!

Thank you Councillor for your unwavering support!

Some ppl are shouting about how the preschool for all tax is driving ppl out of Multco. Here’s some information data about what ppl pay. The cost of moving would be more than this tax. If you + partner’s taxable income is 270k, you owe $1k. No one is moving for $1000.

Yall! We need help. Pls reach out! Even if, and maybe especially if you don’t have a kid a PfA. Don’t have kids and understand how this matters? Pay the tax and are totally fine with it? Or pay the tax and know that it on its own it’s not going to make you run away from the county? Please share!

Come help defend Preschool for all!!!

Here’s something that’s really great about preschool for all that I don’t see discussed. My son goes to a preschool at a local community center. Multiple community centers have them. The city now funds these programs through PFA. 1/?

Housing advocates warn Oregon legislative cuts to housing and eviction prevention program will add to homeless population We talk with Portland State University Professor Lisa Bates about the funding for homelessness and housing programs and what’s needed in her view to address the ongoing homeless and housing crisis.

Parents at the press conference were talking about how the costs of preschool were more than their mortgage payments. We have to save this program.
