Refuse to believe people who say they want the best for Portland if they spend time/energy mobilizing opposition against housing as a human right or universal preschool. Use power to push back against Trump’s threats and do more to make Portland safer for children, immigrants and unhoused people.

Check out this story about PTU, @portlanddsa.bsky.social, and @councilorgreen.bsky.social speaking out for a @homeforward.bsky.social tenant who was nearly evicted. Quick collective action helped keep him housed. Leeor lays out some of PTU's demands for @homeforward.bsky.social.

everyone should get a public defender at eviction court and i'm not kidding

We cannot achieve housing justice alone. We can only push back against the landlord class if renters stand in solidarity. Join us as we canvass renters in D1 to invite the community to the East Portland Renters’ Town Hall. RSVP today at portlanddsa.org/events #housingforall #rentersbillofrights

Join us for the third Renters' Town Hall in East Portland to support the Renters' Bill of Rights! Be part of the growing movement of Portlanders fighting back against the landlord class! RSVP Today! actionnetwork.org/events/east-...

Portland transit riders deserve better service, not policing! We've heard that the mayor wants to put cops on our buses and we say HELL NO.

Worth following this police patrol vs bike/ped safety debate in NW coming from City Hall (and followed closely by @bikeportland.org):

tfw you have to publicly present as a leader but you think your job is just begging people in the private sector for stuff

At Sunday Parkways today, letting East Portland know about the Renters’ Bill of Rights! And handing out free pup cups to all the good doggies! #dsa #rentersrights #tenantsrights #portland #pdx @portlanddsa.bsky.social

Lots of talk about Portland DSA lately 😎 Come learn more at our upcoming Girls Night picnic! For all who are interested in socializing and meeting others - not limited to DSA members. Bring your girl dinner to girls night - BYOB at Laurelhurst Park July 27th 3-6 PM, Picnic Area A.

🙄 Of course the landlords are complaining. God forbid they do their f*cking jobs and take care of their tenants. #tenantsrights #rentersrightsbill #climatemergency #climatecrisis #abolishrent #tenantunion

The Mercury also recently published an article about DSA in Portland. Gonna repost that one more time, for those interested

All of this experience outside City Hall feeds into the electoral work we do and is why we have actual substance to push forward while the democratic old guard continue their half baked gestures and then wonder why Trump is in power. Join us! portlanddsa.org/join-us/

On Saturday we joined our comrades in Salem at their first Renters’ Town Hall. @portlanddsa.bsky.social Housing Working Group Co-Chair Lela S. and organizer Mike E. answered question and discussed how their chapter can work towards a Renters’ Bill of Rights in Salem. #dsa #housingjustice

They came up empty-handed. bikeportland.org/2025/06/28/d...

Great crowd outside City Hall all geared up for the final push to counter the right wing police funded narrative with the Portland DSA vision of a city that works for everyone.

ICE has brought its new tactic of moving to dismiss cases & detaining people to PDX. One person was taken yesterday but others were not because they were informed of their options in time. Please spread this updated KYR training from PIRC & allied groups far and wide. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We invited Councilor Ryan to the Renters’ Town Hall early this month. We still have not heard back from his office. I guess Ryan doesn’t want to hear from renters in his district? 🤷 #orpol #portland #pdx #renterstownhall #rentersrights @councilorkanal.bsky.social @councilordanryan.bsky.social

Chart shows comparisons between the Mayor's Proposed, the requested budgets from staff, and the prior year adopted. Stacked bars indicate breakout between personnel, external materials and services, and internal billing. Key driver: CA office picks up sheltering plan. There's also some realignment.

Tenants at Everett Station Lofts in Old Town have battled the building's management over monthly rents they say violate an affordable housing agreement the Lofts established with the city long ago. Now, two city councilors are trying to help provide relief via a year-long rental subsidy.

It’s fun that the lefties on city council are pursuing so many good policies that I’m already losing track. Love the abundance mindset.
