While local governments have taken some strong measures to attempt to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 closures, the Portland Democratic Socialists of America
(DSA), say it's not enough. Portland DSA has called on Mayor Ted Wheeler and Governor Kate Brown to put an immediate freeze on all rent and mortgage payments and evictions; a freeze on all utility payments; an immediate end to all displacement and sweeps of houseless camps; and the opening of additional shelters throughout the city of Portland and the state of Oregon.
