Getting PCEI on the November ballot will only be possible with the help of a massive grassroots effort. Frontline based community groups have stepped up to craft this innovative policy, and now the broader community will need to step up to collect over 45,000 signatures in a very short timeframe. This will only be possible if YOU and others in our community volunteer to help collect signatures.
VolunteerWho Created PCEI
PCEI is grounded in the local community, created by groups led by and working for the rights of our city’s people of color and low income households. Portland Audubon is excited to be working alongside community groups such as the Asian Pacific Network of Oregon (APANO), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Verde, Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA), 350PDX, Oregon Chapter of the Sierra Club, Physicians for Social Responsibility and others in this grassroots campaign (over 150 groups have endorsed).
