Join the Multnomah County Democrats as we take a stand against those who are taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our schools, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is NOW! Read on to join us at the “Hands Off! Portland Fights Back Rally” this Saturday, April 5th!

The Impact:

Being visible and vocal MATTERS! When we show up in force, we demonstrate that Portland refuses to be silent.

What Elon Musk and Donald Trump are doing in Washington directly impacts all Portland residents, particularly those most vulnerable to cuts in healthcare, education, and public services. Let’s show them Portland is watching—and we won’t back down!

Your participation matters:

🔥 Power in numbers! Each person who shows up amplifies our collective voice.
✊ Stand together with neighbors and build the movement we need to win.
🌲 Join neighbors from ALL OVER PORTLAND who are meeting up to travel to the protest together.
