10 - 0 vote, lame City council needs to reckon with the reality that tenants are being displaced, the ice sports community is losing its most accessible asset, the public is losing a 3rd space in a time of other cuts to public services, and community sentiment, like this: katu.com/news/local/p...
Our Toxic Roots conference highlighted that all struggles are worker struggles. This reminder comes as corporate greed creates the world’s first trillionaire and the AI boom fuels industrial globalization. We have more to gain from organizing together, be it in our workplaces or in the streets.
The devolution of public services for our most vulnerable people should never turn into a booze-filled grift by Execs of contractors. Sunstone Way management not only failed the communities that relied on the services workers at Sunstone Way provided, but their own employees. Help them here:
