Visited Kindness Farm today, an East Portland farm funded through the Portland Clean Energy Fund + Portland Children’s Levy! 🥰 Kids learning outdoors, immigrant families growing food, and community garden plots taking shape. This is exactly what public investment should do for our communities 🌱
My colleagues and the Mayor suggested I wasn’t working with community on Avalos 2, which would have helped immigrant and refugee communities. My office spent all day making calls to community organizations, local leaders, and advocates who clearly told me the City needed to step up support.

🧵1/2 SCOTUS just gutted Black voting power 6-3. Louisiana’s majority-Black districts are gone. Up to 8 House seats could be redrawn before 2026. They’ve been dismantling the Voting Rights Act for 13 years. This is the plan. It’s working. But we can fight back. Don’t lose hope.
