Already voted for @AshleyJPelton. Hayden walked out on a wildfire prevention bill and just a few months later entire communities in his district burned to the ground. Why on earth would we give that guy a promotion?

A Christmas Eve highlight about refugees! Backed by the newly created Office of Immigrant and Refugee Advancement, we secured $18 million for Afghan families resettling to Oregon with housing assistance, legal aid, & culturally-specific supports for our newest Afghan neighbors

We can no longer accept lawmakers who try to shut down the legislature. There is already too much extremism in America, and we need to get back to basics. Lawmakers need to show up and do their job. #orleg #orpol #NoMoreCostlyWalkouts

It’s unfathomable that anyone is not eligible for overtime when working a job that doesn’t pay them above federal low income guidelines. I believe we must support farmers but supporting farmers and paying fair wages are not mutually exclusive.
Fair Shot is proud to endorse HB 2358! Farmworkers deserve to be paid overtime, full stop. #orpol #orleg

Best believe I am lifting our BI POC communities and bringing them with me. This will not be the last time you will see a candidate of color running for office in East Multnomah County. It’s our time. No Decision About Us-Without Us.

Let's be clear. It would be much less expensive to enact the Green New Deal than it would be to continue to allow the fossil fuel industry to destroy the planet we live on. And it would create millions of good-paying jobs in the process.

Why would any of the candidates who walked off the job ever be re-elected ? @Shaw4Oregon who is in my HR24 made the #oregonpledge along with @RJ4oregon @JerryForOregon @Alberto4Medford @JackieForOregon to show up and never walkout! Check this :15 sec spot out and please share!❤️
Kim Thatcher walked off the job to block the Student Success Act. Kim Thatcher walked off the job to block gun safety legislation. Kim Thatcher walked off the job to block action on climate. #ORSoSDebate #Shemia2020

Seeing lots of reporters flatly say "wear a mask" which is great! You don't have to treat an issue where the science is clear as debatable just because one party or president tries to make it partisan. NB: this trick also works for "we must stop burning fossil fuels."

COVID has laid bare the gaps in how communities of color have access to resources and healthcare. Please share this information to help bridge that gap and support our community. #BlackLivesMatter
COVID has had a disproportionate impact on Black Americans and Black Oregonians. Please share about this fund with Black individuals, families, Black-owned businesses and Black-led non-profits who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19. #TheOregonCaresFund #TOCF

Had to explain to my children this morning that that haze in the sky is smoke from dozens of massive fires. My 6 year old said, “so now we have to wear masks for smoke AND coronavirus?” Our children need us to fight harder. Now. #climate
”The level of ice loss revealed by the group matches the worst-case-scenario predictions outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)” Earth has lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice in less than 30 years. #FaceTheClimateEmergency theguardian.com/environment/…

The Founders created USPS to "bind" America together. Eliminating it would not "unbind" urban and suburban communities. It would absolutely unbind rural communities.

A Friday reminder that respecting the rule of law means access to council, a speedy trial, and fair adjucation. When we erode these principles, we’re chipping away at democracy.
