So great to see #climate & #environmentaljustice champions Senator #MichaelDembrow and Rep. #KhanhPham listening to Oregonians who know we must urgently invest in Resilient homes & buildings and safer communities.

It's the first stop in a traveling set of hearings for the Oregon Ways & Means Committee. #PDX #ORleg #ORClimateAction

Rep #KhanhPham just co-sponsored a bill that will allow money and staff time to go to kids, caregivers, and schools to choose walking, biking and public transit.

Right now Oregon, and most US school districts, force transportation money to be spent only on car travel and yellow schoolbuses.

Dozens of kids in bike helmets came to the state capitol to express support. Sweet photo of @ShawneMartinez from @bikeloudpdx testifying.

Right Sizing for Reality

#Oregon has elected some brilliant political leaders. Rep #KhanhPham is one of them. She serves on the State #Transportation Committee.

Pham is challenging why $7.5 Billion of DOT money is going into an ill-defined mega-project rather than where our priorities must be: #PublicTransit, #Safe #Streets, connected communities and #Climate solutions.

None of the $7.5 Billion is for #LightRail, #BikeLanes, #Walkways.
