Tile 1:
A white square with a turquoise border. In the center in large navy blue font reads, “CLEAN & SAFE”- it is overlaid against turquoise larger font that reads, “END”. Atop this text a crow caws indignantly. Underneath, in navy bold font:
END the collaboration between CLEAN & SAFE and the PORTLAND POLICE BUREAU”
Tile 2:
Black text on a turquoise background reads”
“In response to community outcry regarding a lack of public engagement, Portland City Council has delayed their vote on a contract renewing the relationship between Clean & Safe and the Portland Police Bureau from March 30th to April 13th, 2022.”
Tile 3:
Black text on a turquoise background reads,
“If approved, this contract will continue to staff four Portland Police Bureau positions, but transfer the responsibility of funding them after 2 years from Clean & Safe to the City. The historical lack of oversight, accountability and public involvement in these decisions affect all Portlanders, but disproportionately affect the unhoused communities who reside downtown.”
Tile 4:
Black text on a turquoise background reads: “A public listening session with opportunity for public comment will be held on April 7th, from 6:00 – 8:00. We encourage you to sign up and attend if you’re able! On our website you’ll find talking points that can be a helpful starting point for crafting your testimony and a template email script to send to City Council. If you aren’t able to sign up for public testimony, you can still make your voice heard!”
cool!
