Black ppl in Portland *been* talking abt the need for the labor movement to step up & fix their problems w/ literally violent

anti-Blackness
classism
anti-idpol bullshit
& solidarity with cop unions.

What I’m saying is, we have been ACTIVELY harmed & traumatized by non-profits/unions (even our own) here for years. We can’t be expected to keep trying. This is the whitest city that just happens to be in a state founded as a yt utopia. It’s the most dangerous place I’ve lived.
