A black-and-white flyer that reads: MAYDAY 2026: May 1, 12 pm, South Park Blocks No War – No ICE – TAX THE RICH – Hands off the vote – Portland is union town – WE ARE NOT REPLACEABLE. Democratic Socialists of America
May Day is the real Labor Day. Look for events spanning the whole Portland metro area, including this gathering in the South Park Blocks.
A better world is possible!
It's refreshing that these people aren't using a pretext of concern over the program's rollout to scuttle it. The move is transparently about the wishes of the very wealthy over the will of the voters. You can dislike Preschool for All & still see that this is bad: actionnetwork.org/letters/no-o...
📣Please share this far and wide, so we can tell @tinakotek.bsky.social and the legislature HANDS OFF PRESCHOOL FOR ALL! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
Hope everyone had a good #MayDay. Remember: we have a world to win!

This Thursday is May Day—also known as International Workers’ Day—and Portland is showing up, with events starting tomorrow through the weekend. With the federal attacks on workers, immigrants, and marginalized people across the board, May Day is all the more relevant and important this year.
Happy May Day! ✊✊✊

TONITE 6pm on KBOO (90.7fm) or on the web at kboo.fm/media/126317... — LABOR RADIO (30 min.) "Police Unions in the Labor Movement” analyzes the current controversy surrounding the attempt to bring the Portland Police Association as members into the AFL-CIO Northwest Oregon Labor Council.
It should go without saying, but one pretty good organization to join is called DSA
www.dsausa.org/get-involved/
Standing room only and many turned away at the Wyden/Bynum town hall last night. We tabled, and what we heard most was anger about inaction, and fear. People want to know what to *do*.
If you're feeling isolated, if you're feeling angry, don't feel that way alone. Join an organization!
What are we asking for? We think it’s pretty simple stuff. We just think our members deserve similar compensation and benefits to other Clackamas County employees and to other local government employees in our region. Read more here: docs.google.com/viewerng/vie...
