In January and February 2022, Portland League members recommended activities and priorities for LWV in 2022-23. To read about the member-centered process of “Program Planning,” see our 2022 Program Planning page.

In the winter of 2022, the League is continuing to advocate with our new positions on Police Accountability and City Government. We are also applying our long-time positions on transparency, equality of opportunity, air quality, climate change, and voting rights to our work on issues before the Charter Review Commission, City Council, the Oregon Legislature and U.S. Congress.

As of yesterday, 18% of Multnomah County ballots had been turned in. If you haven’t already mailed your ballot, today is the last day to mail it or drop it in an official ballot box. Drop sites listed here: https://t.co/s50RvarhvG
