  • The district is acknowledging they have tens of millions more in reserve funds than they’d previously admitted to. The district has the money to invest in classrooms to reduce class size, hold teachers economically harmless and support the schools and students that need it most - but they are choosing not to. Attend the School Board meeting and budget hearing to demand the Board fund the Schools Portland Students Deserve. More details to follow.

"People have only as much liberty
as they have the intelligence to want
and the courage to take.”

Emma Goldman
    The officers involved were not punished for this crime.  Chief Potter essentially blamed the victim. (the mentally ill) The officers who kicked, punched, and beat James to death (in front of 12 witnesses) were neither disciplined nor prosecuted. There was zero accountability for this crime.  And the killings continue. tmf

BREAKING NEWS AT THE ALLIANCE:

SYSTEM GRAVELY BROKEN:  RESPONSES TO CHASSE DISCIPLINE REVERSAL

The two officers who had been disciplined in
the brutal beating
death of James Chasse, Jr. were ordered to have their records expunged and back payments made for the 80 hours each was suspended.
 
As long as we continue to have little police accountability in Portland,
avoidable killings of innocent people will continue.
