Have you been walking down the street and suddenly a car is brought to a screeching stop a few feet from you? Have you been minding your own business when suddenly you find yourself scurrying for safety? Do our streets feel like places where you could comfortably commune with your neighbors? If you answer “No!” you may well be an immigrant, elderly, a child or someone who uses a mobility assistance device. You may be a person targeted by ICE for no other reason than your skin tone or your accent; you may be a child running around your neighborhood with your friends; you may be someone walking or biking or rolling to your local store to get some essentials. From ICE kidnappings to car-culture domination, our streets have been made unsafe because we have allowed that to happen. At this very moment, our city leaders have the opportunity to make us ALL safer by revoking the permit for the ICE facility in Portland AND by implementing safe-street measures that center people, not cars. This is the moment to understand that our struggles are inextricably intertwined! On Wednesday, September 17th, City Council Vice President Koyama-Lane will help lead a Bike Bus and Parade to City Hall to advocate for safe streets and Vision Zero (an effort to have zero transportation-related deaths). We ask that you join the bike parade not just in support of Vision Zero, but also to support revoking the ICE permit in Portland. Wear black and red to show solidarity with the struggles of our immigrant neighbors, and be prepared to raise your voices for justice. We believe that our streets should be safe for ALL Portlanders! This will be a short, slow ride from Salmon Street Springs fountain to City Hall. At City Hall there will be a rally to revoke the ICE permit.
