🚨March on Vasquez & Wilson🚨 Demand the Mayor and DA enforce the law to protect Portlanders against fascist thuggery. Labor says: ICE OUT! 🗓️ Feb. 20, 12 PM, MultCo Courthouse (SW Madison & 1st)

On Tuesday Feb 10th, 2026, I was wrongfully terminated from my position at Sheri's Ranch for union activity. unitedbworkers.com Support #UnitedBWorkers #UnitedBrothelWorkers

🌟 Sex workers at Sheri’s Ranch, a legal brothel in Pahrump, Nevada, are unionizing with the Communications Workers of America @cwaunion.bsky.social Last week, management fired several pro-union workers—including the union’s primary organizer, Jupiter Jetson thenevadaindependent.com/article/sex-...

Here is District Attorney Vasquez’s response to our letter. We have not received a response or acknowledgment of receipt from Mayor Wilson.

Today, 31 unions & labor organizations representing over 130,000 workers in Portland and OR sent a letter to @mayorkwilson.bsky.social & District Attorney Vasquez demanding that they enforce the law and get justice for the children, elderly, & working people tear gassed by ICE on 1/31.

“In a February 5 letter, dozens of Oregon labor unions called on Vasquez and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson to take “immediate action in response to the violent federal crackdown” on last weekend’s union-led protest outside the ICE facility.“

Tear gas and whizbangs have been a familiar sight for people living near the Portland ICE facility. Recently, a projectile shot through an apartment window across the street, frightening a 70-year-old Yemeni woman inside who called her daughter crying, saying she "couldn't breathe."

A large protest, dubbed “Labor Against ICE,” is expected to start near the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland on Saturday. At least 30 unions endorsed the protest and planned to attend in some fashion.

Meg Ward, president of @cwa7901.bsky.social , said there are still concerns that the federal government could launch an operation in Oregon on a similar level to what’s occurring in Minnesota. She said the protest could be a training ground for how labor unions in Oregon respond.

We got gassed but we are not backing down. ABOLISH AND PROSECUTE ICE.

It is NOT easy to get this many unions and labor organizations to mobilize together. Huge props to my comrades at @portlanddsa.bsky.social & @jwjpdx.bsky.social for making it happen. Historic things are happening as we continue to build power and assert ourselves collectively!

Jan. 23, 2026 will be remembered as the beginning of the end for the ICE regime grasping the throat of the US working class. A coalition of unions - including our sister local CWA 7250 - in collaboration with community groups, has called for a general strike of no working, no shopping, & no school.

NEW: Portland Councilor Loretta Smith allegedly fired a staffer for union organizing. An unfair labor practice complaint, filed today, claims Smith showed increasingly hostile behavior to the worker following the union announcement, culminating in his termination last week.

“The termination of a lead union organizer during the fragile, initial phase of a union drive is an exceptionally severe act. […] This action, taken by the City's highest elected and appointed officials, constitutes ‘egregious’ conduct[.]”

“The termination of a lead union organizer during the fragile, initial phase of a union drive is an exceptionally severe act,” reads the complaint, filed Tuesday with the Oregon Employment Relations Board. This comes a day before the council prez election. Smith is currently a nominee for the role.

The CEI Hub, a six mile stretch of fuel storage tanks between the Willamette River and Forest Park stores 90% of Oregon's liquid fuels. Everyone who works in or near this geography is at risk of the impacts of a world-historic industrial disaster. We, as workers, can prevent this future.

Mayor Wilson announced police will begin citing homeless Portlanders for declining shelter, starting this weekend. The move comes as 15,000 homeless residents in the county are set to lose food assistance, and service providers say the criminal justice system only makes things worse.

Three of my neighbors in district 1 were killed in three separate car collisions last night. We need action now to reduce pedestrian and cyclist deaths. YOU need to do more to improve your own driving. Do better. Keep your neighbors alive.

Easiest ballot of my life. 1 yes/no question. Vote yes for parks!

My Detention Facility Fee policy will have a first hearing at the morning Council Session on 11/5. It will be posted tomorrow on the website, and I will repost a link for people to submit written testimony. I also recommend emailing your district Councilors if this is an issue that matters to you.

Workers in and adjacent to the CEI Hub are on the front lines of what would be a world-historic industrial disaster. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to make our community safer.

📢Day 2 Kaiser Strike!!! At picket lines across the region, members protest Kaiser’s refusal to agree to a contract that addresses the serious concerns raised by frontline workers facing stagnant wages and persistent understaffing!

If you're in the Portland area, stop by a Kaiser to show solidarity with the Oregon Federation for Nurses and Health Professionals! We've got hot dogs, real dogs, unicorns, Guy Fieri, music, and so much more! I'm posted up at the Hillsboro location atm.

This is a must-read. 👇 OFNHP Pres Sarina Roher explains why Kaiser caregivers are striking—for safe staffing, respect & a healthcare system that listens to those who provide the care. Read her letter in The Oregonian: www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2025... #OneVoiceOneFightOneFuture #KaiserStrike

til i live next to a distribution hub supplying 90% of Oregon’s liquid fuel supply! Verde PDX says the city's safety updates for this 6 mile stretch are not good enough and more public comments are needed by oct 17 here's Verde's action alert in english & spanish: mailchi.mp/11907fbb89f5...

Everything is stupid and dangerous right now, but in Portland, we have an opportunity to make something a little less stupid and a lot less dangerous! Tell PDX planners to stop adding fuel storage at the CEI Hub and to plan a drawdown of existing fuel storage! 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

UPDATE: Late last night, the Oregon Senate Finance Committee requested a last-minute amendment to S.B. 106, specifically written to kill Preschool for All. This will be heard today at 1pm.

This is an attack on working families and local democracy.

We signed a letter with over 40 conservation, climate, environmental Justice, & labor organizations calling on Multnomah County to reject proposals to defund or defang the Office of Sustainability. These folks have set the standard for community centered policy making and action.
