Letter carriers keep Oregonians connected and informed, delivering news, prescription medications, ballots, and other essentials. I spoke with members of NALC Branch 82 in Portland to understand the challenges postal workers face and support their work delivering for our communities.

Good news. I’ve long led the push for oversight of predatory facilities like Provo Canyon. Too often, congregate care can become congregate abuse. Paris, thank you for sharing your story and for your tireless advocacy to keep kids safe.
