Who We Are
A group of citizens focused on a singular purpose:
We are mothers, fathers, healthcare providers, retail store managers, architects, manufacturers, social service administrators, small business owners, environmental engineers, educators, creatives, and retirees. We are young and old, across ethnicities, across gender and socio-economic levels. And importantly, we are your neighbors, who live and work in Portland. We love Portland, like you do, and we see the same challenges you do.
