The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 351-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 21-to-1. Trickle down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives.

The white supremacist coup attempt was shocking, but it didn’t come from nowhere. We’ve had decades of attacks on democracy through voter suppression, dark money & gerrymandering—designed, too, to ensure power for a minority. We must rebuild our We The People foundations.

If the Legislature doesn’t extend foreclosure protections in a special session this month, we risk repeating the mistakes of the Great Recession.

States that let their eviction moratoriums expire have caused an additional >400k COVID cases & 10k deaths
Oregon's moratorium expires in 3 weeks. Either #orleg must come into special session to extend it or the Governor must act by executive order
