It's time to call and write your city councilor. Tell them enough is enough. We need to put municipal clean elections on the ballot. In November, Portlanders will show our city government once again that we want our local democracy to represent everyone — not just the wealthy.
We need to keep the power of our government where it belongs — in the hands of the people. We need a strong clean elections policy if we want our city government to work on solutions for us, instead of helping out rich corporations and their lobbyists.
Here's how to help: Use this link to find the contact information for your city councilor. Call or email them and say: "I support municipal clean elections for Portland and think residents deserve to show their support via a ballot measure in the November 2021 election."
