Last week, Multnomah County Circuit Judge Benjamin Souede ruled that the Portland Clean Energy Fund city ballot initiative is constitutional, clearing Oregon PSR and our partners to gather signatures for this exciting and historic campaign. We now have until July 6th to gather 43,000 signatures to qualify the Portland Clean Energy Fund for the November 2018 ballot. Our community can take proactive steps to fight climate change while addressing social and economic inequity by providing major new economic opportunities for low-income Portlanders, including women and communities of color.
As noted by the Portland Business Journal, Mayor Wheeler is caving to the Portland Business Alliance in yet another of their ploys to delay much needed action on climate and investments in underserved Portland families. As Trump sets back our national progress on expanding renewable energy and racial and economic justice, we must move forward locally to put money for climate resilience into the hands of the people who need it most: low income folks and people of color.
Join Oregon PSR as we partner up with a unique and diverse coalition of racial, economic, and environmental justice advocates to make history in passing the first major environmental policy written by people of color in the state of Oregon.
