Community Alliance of Tenants is teaming up with the Eviction Representation for All campaign in the closing days of the campaign to educate voters about this important opportunity to fund lawyers for every tenant who lands in eviction court through Measure 26-238 in Multnomah County.
We’ll get started at Wellington Park (66th Avenue and Skidmore St in Portland). No experience needed, campaign folks will tell you everything you need to know to successfully canvass.
Find campaign folks in the yellow hats & shirts! Make sure you have the app MiniVAN ready to use on your phone and dress for the weather - it’s gonna be a hot one!

VOTE - Multnomah County Special Election

We say this land acknowledgment as recognition of TRUTH. We say this land acknowledgment to show respect. Today, there are 9 “federally recognized” tribes in the state of Oregon. But before settlers came to take the land here in Oregon, there were more than 60 tribes in this area. We acknowledge that we are on the occupied homeland of indigenous communities in Oregon. In addition to the immeasurable loss of First Nations land, and the lives of countless indigenous men, women, and children, entire cultures were wiped away. Livelihoods were stolen. Some of these atrocities were government approved. Despite centuries of colonization, genocide, and racism, indigenous people are still here. We must think about what it means to occupy space on indigenous lands.

We recognize the legacy of systemic oppression that enables many of us to be here. We also recognize and honor the strength, resilience and capacity of indigenous people in our region. Land is not just merely the space that our bodies occupy; it is a vault of culture, story, art, history, and tradition.
