"If you're reading this, you probably know the value of the Mercury' s newsreporting, 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!"
"Portland's Sunday Parkways program-in which neighborhoods shut down streets so they can solely be used by cyclists, skaters, and pedestrians-is AWESOME, and follows in the footsteps of other countries with similar programs. The big difference? Rather than closing a few streets for a few weekend days during the summer, our Latin American neighbors continue the program for weeks."
"Thanks to the state legislature-who in turn are blaming Trump's federal cuts-Oregon homeless services providers and tenant advocacy groups are being forced to lay off sizable portions of their staffs, after state officials reduced their funding to the tune of roughly $1 billion over the next two years."
Portland Mercury requests small monthly contributions to sustain local news reporting, arts and culture coverage, an event calendar, and hosted events throughout the year. The publication emphasizes that community support is essential for continuing operations that help the city shine. The week will feature sunny skies with temperatures rising from the low 70s to around 85 degrees by Wednesday. Portland's Sunday Parkways closes neighborhood streets to motor vehicles so cyclists, skaters, and pedestrians can use them and is compared to longer-running programs in Latin America. Growing popular events include Rose City Comic Con, and state funding cuts threaten homeless services and tenant advocacy staffing.
