About Progress Portland Podcast:
Progress Portland is a team of locals who want to push Portland out of 19th-century politics and structures into a better and equitable future for all Portlanders. The majority of Portlanders are progressive-minded and want to see the city move forward with bolder visions that improve people’s lives. We want to see the homeless population housed and treated with individual compassion; we want fair pay, strong unions, and support for small businesses; we want a police force that works for the people instead of against them. All of these things are possible with improved leadership and the voices of the community.
