Replying to @councilorgreen.bsky.social
We filed the Save Public Schools resolution as a Nine-Twelfths agenda item for the Wednesday Council meeting. The resolution calls for: 1. Gov. Kotek to release emergency 🎓 funds 2. City lobbies for rev reform and ed spending in next session as top priority 3. PPS to pause proposed plans

Over the last several days I've heard directly from parents who are scared and outraged about the PPS proposals for closure of their schools. They are calling for action from their elected officials at all levels. Today I have filed an emergency that responds to the urgency of these calls. 🧵
The money is there, it’s just stuck at the top, and I’m going to keep fighting to change that. (1/2) Read more about my plan to build a Portland that works for working people: www.mitch4portland.com/priorities

two observations: 1. there are clearly two voting blocs. 2. the progressives compromise more often than the mods / conservatives, as evidenced by the darker gradient shading in the upper right corner quadrant
Okay this is an interesting view: how often councilors voted for items proposed by other councilors. On this measure I think Dan Ryan is kind of uniquely a hard-line factional voter.

We are ready to re-elect @mitchgreen.bsky.social @pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social and Tiffany Koyama Lane!
When a community loses its school, it’s very hard to get it back. Portland doesn’t have to accept these closures. Sign the @pdxteachers.bsky.social petition! Tell PPS to listen to teachers and families and find a better way. secure.ngpvan.com/XyC1n1LFiUCZ...

Just wrapped up a canvass for @mitchgreen.bsky.social in the little slice of mixed-use, mixed-income, mixed-politics heaven between NW 21st & 23rd. Here’s to all the @portlandneighborswelcome.org endorsed candidates supporting the right of neighborhoods to evolve in this direction when they need to
FORUM SEASON IS KICKING INTO HIGH GEAR! Come represent Mitch at these free forums and debates next week with @350pdx.bsky.social, @pdxcityclub.bsky.social, and Linnton NA. Hear about Mitch's for a Portland that works for working people. 💪 www.mitch4portland.com/calendar
Please especially be sure to turn out for the City Club event on the 6th to make sure your views are represented in the room and that good questions are asked of the candidates. pdxcityclub.org/event/city-c...
Note: the NW Examiner event has been officially cancelled due to legal issues. bsky.app/profile/jere...
Update: The Pearl District Neighborhood Association and the NW Examiner have canceled their District 4 candidate forum after the city attorney's office clarified legal requirements for neighborhood associations and nonprofits. The @portlandmercury.com reported the issues yesterday -- context here:

actually allan is once again misreporting information: i never pulled out. i have been waiting for the news that the event has been structured in order to avoid doing election crimes by adding all the candidates, but i guess it has been canceled instead.

We are just one week out from our Vote for Climate Justice D4 Candidate Forum. Will we see you Monday? RSVP here: 350pdx.org/event/action... @jameyevenstar.bsky.social @jeremy4pdx.bsky.social @councilorclark.bsky.social @mitchgreen.bsky.social @portlandmercury.com @orsierraclub.bsky.social

Mitch is going to need extra support for this one because this forum will not include any of the other progressive candidates like myself. They chose to only include the incumbents and Eli Arnold on purpose so it won’t be a very friendly crowd. Turn up and turn out!!
We are entering the phase of the campaign where there will be a ton of forums and debates. We will list them all on my website. First up: D4 Forum hosted by NW Examiner on 10/5 at Portland Center Stage @5pm Don’t miss it! www.mitch4portland.com/calendar

Our proposal eliminates biz taxes for 18k small businesses. We’ve reached out to small businesses and workers who serve the city and whose jobs are on the line each year. I’m not interested in what billionaire CEOs and their lobbyists think. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Obligatory canvassing post! I'm out knocking doors for @mitchgreen.bsky.social today in the hills of D4. Come join the fun next time! www.mobilize.us/mitch4portla...
If you’ve never done it before, tomorrow morning is a great time to knock doors for Mitch. New canvassers welcome! We will train you! www.mobilize.us/mitch4portla...
The Metro Chamber is targeting me because my office has successfully defended their attacks related to Preschool for All, Portland Street Response, Moda, Zenith, Harborton, Clean and Safe, and more. They’re scared, I’m not, and the people are onto them. Their dirty tricks won’t work anymore.
The Portland Metro Chamber is the source of many of the city’s problems. If they don’t oppose you, you aren’t going hard enough

Come for the spice, stay for the parodies of 80s VHS tapes, & donate for a brighter future for Portland. Your $5 becomes $55 thanks to Portland's Small Donor Elections program. $25 helps Mitch max out on matching funds. You can give more too! Mitch is the real deal. Let's get him four more years.
If you too enjoy watching the 1989 hit The Wizard, starring Fred Savage and Jenny Lewis on VHS, please help Mitch unlock the next level of funding and win his re-election campaign! Donate at secure.actblue.com/donate/m4pdx or on Mitch4Portland.com
Please, no! The corporate lobby is quaking with impotent rage, and every donation just makes them angrier! mitch4portland.com

This is how it is done, @mitchgreen.bsky.social. Let’s re-elect this man so that we can keep building towards a Portland that stands strong in its community values and rejects a politics of fear mongering.

Here is my full statement on the tweets I made in 2020 regarding the police. The PPA, PPB, Mayor and several of my colleagues have all made statements following that Oregonian piece. The public deserves to know what I think about that and stand for - then and now.

i think it’s very good that @thesportsbra.bsky.social drew a line (the correct one) on trans rights. trans women are women. trans men are men. if your business stands for trans rights Portland will stand with you.
