Thank you to our lead field organizers Jacinda Padilla and Timothy Ramos for attending Oregon Womxn's Campaign School on behalf of Raiford 2020! When we say this is a grassroots movement run on people power, we mean it.  Thank you to Oregon Womxn's for creating a space for all to become politically engaged; we need youth activism more than ever.

Teressa is looking forward to speaking at this years' Cannabis Collaborative Conference at the Portland Expo Center. After taxpayers voted to use the recreational cannabis tax to benefit those who had been adversely affected when it was illegal, the tax instead went to policing the very communities that were initially harmed.

This severe lack of transparency from the city of Portland has failed us - there is work to be done with allocating these funds for true equity.
