Yesterday I was honored to congratulate several new officers at their swearing-in ceremony. With their service, we are continuing to build a 21st century Portland Police Bureau that puts community safety at the center.
Today I appointed @ChiefBobDay as permanent Chief of @PortlandPolice. As Chief, Bob has embraced the role, demonstrated strong leadership, and shown a clear vision for the future of the bureau. Congratulations, Chief, and thank you for your hard work.
Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility so I’m highlighting Marsha P. Johnson. Johnson was an LGBTQ activist & transwoman who was one of the 1st drag queens to walk into the Stonewall Inn. Today & moving forward, may we all continue to bring awareness to all. ⚖️
Our commitment to #HealthEquity requires a commitment to the issues affecting the health and lives of transgender people. Learn how @RWJF is investing in trans leadership and organizations. rwjf.ws/3TjOVKH

I’m appalled KGW aired despicable, racist imagery last night. As a black man raising two black boys, I’m sadly not surprised someone reminded Portland during Black History Month that we’re not a post-racist society. This is unacceptable. We MUST do better. oregonlive.com/portland/2024/…
Our 2024 Black History Month bus, designed by @desarea_doodles, is rolling now! It's called "Visions of Joy," and will be running on a different daily route for at least the next year.
I want to recognize the team at @prosperportland for their work to expand this program to assist small businesses. Details: portland.gov/rubio/news/202…
I’m pleased to announce that the Restore Grant has been expanded to include costs due to icestorm-related impacts. With this change, businesses can submit for operational expenses such as revenue loss, physical repairs, and inventory and equipment replacement due to storm damage.
The Small Business Stabilization Restore Grant Program has been expanded to provide reimbursement resources to small businesses and nonprofits for up to $25,000 in eligible expenses incurred during the recent winter storm. Learn more & apply at prosperportland.us/storm
Huge thanks to @trailblazers for inviting me to present the Hometown Hero Award to Portland community leader Michael Alexander as part of the team’s celebration of Black History Month this past Saturday.
