Weaving a Fabric of Compassion and Justice

Parker Palmer, author and founder of the Center for Courage & Renewal, has written, "When we forget that politics is about weaving a fabric of compassion and justice on which everyone can depend, the first to suffer are the most vulnerable among us - our children, our elders, our poor, homeless, and mentally ill brothers and sisters. As they suffer, so does the integrity of our democracy."

I'm standing with working families, with retirees, and with others who are struggling to forge such a fabric of compassion here in Oregon - taking on Big Pharma, securing funding for resources to help get people off the streets and into housing, fighting for safe and strong schools and living wage job opportunities, caring for our environment for future generations, and protecting women's rights.

We have just one week left until the election. Will you help me cross the finish line, so that together, we can continue to weave a fabric of compassion and justice in an Oregon that works for everyone?
