Portland's Mercury requests small monthly contributions to sustain news reporting, arts and culture coverage, event listings, and hosted events. Reader support is essential to continuing local journalism and arts coverage. The city will reach a high of 92 degrees. Many residents are returning to work after a three-day weekend. Oregonians flooded downtown Portland for a Workers Over Billionaires Labor Day march targeting Donald Trump and billionaires with heavy influence over the president and the economy. 50501 PDX helped mobilize Portlanders and is forming a No Kings Collective committed to channeling protest energy into focused political action. The Oregon Senate will consider a transportation package after the Legislature adjourned without adequately funding state transportation systems.
If you're reading this, you probably know the value of the Mercury's news reporting, arts and culture coverage, event calendar, and the bevy of events we host throughout the year. The work we do helps our city shine, but we can't do it without your support. If you believe Portland benefits from smart, local journalism and arts coverage, please consider making a small monthly contribution, because without you, there is no us. Thanks for your support!
Monday's Labor Day march was part of a nation-wide pro-worker rally that specifically targets Donald Trump and other billionaires with heavy influence over the president and the American economy. Locally, 50501 PDX was among the groups who helped mobilize and organize Portlanders to hit the streets in protest. The group says it's forming a No Kings Collective "committed to channeling the energy of protest into focused political action."
