Are you ready to vote on the future of the CMP transmission line? There’s a referendum question about it on our 2021 election ballot, and many Portland voters still aren’t sure how to decide. This Thursday, we are having a Portland Dems member discussion about Question 1.

We will have an opportunity to learn more from advocates on both the “Yes” and “No” positions, we will have a member discussion about it, and we will have the opportunity to vote whether or not to endorse the referendum as PDCC at this time. Come learn more, be part of the discussion, and vote!

PDCC October Meeting:

In addition to Question 1, on Thursday we will be holding a discussion and vote on the City Referendum Options A, B, and C (regarding the city’s emergency shelter plans).

As the Portland Dems, we want to help each other make informed decisions and seek opportunities to collectively influence the public decision-making process. Come be a part of it this Thursday!

Everyone is invited to attend this virtual Portland Dems meeting and learn more. Only those who are registered Democrats in the City of Portland will be able to participate in the member discussion and vote. To begin our discussions, we are inviting a representative to speak on behalf of Yes on 1, No on 1, Option A, Option B, and Option C.

Charles (PDCC Chair)

The Portland Dems would like to announce that we have an opening for Vice-Chairperson, one of the four elected Officers of the PDCC. We will have an opportunity to vote for a new Vice-Chair at our upcoming monthly meeting: Thursday, October 21.

Thank you to our outgoing Vice-Chair, Mohamed Abdirahman, for his dedication and willingness to serve both PDCC and the people of Portland. Mohamed has transitioned out of state for now, and we know he’ll be a great asset to his new local Democratic community.

Would you like to run for Vice-Chair? Do you want to help support and organize the efforts of Democratic voters, volunteers, and activists in our city? Or do you know someone who would be a great fit for this role? Nominate yourself or someone else for Vice-Chair during our upcoming meeting.

And let us know if you are interested in the position and want to learn more!

Indoor Mask Mandate Update

Did you see? The Portland Dems’ endorsement of a Covid-19 indoor mask mandate was covered by the Press Herald this week (Link to article here, and screenshot below). Thank you to everyone who brought that issue forward and participated in that vote last Sunday.

While the measure was defeated in the City Council on Monday, we remain committed to working together to contain this pandemic. Let’s do our part to mask-up indoors (as recommended, but not mandated, by the City) and stay vigilant for the need to advocate additional public health measures for our community in the future.
