A Portland municipal bank could
* Make affordable loans to small businesses, farmers, government entities, and students
* Save taxpayers up to 50% on critical infrastructure like bridges and trains and schools 
* Eliminate billions in bank fees and money management fees for cities and states
* Support a vibrant community banking sector 
* Enable sustainable prosperity
Sen. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump both declared during the 2016 election that the system is rigged.  But their ideas of what constitutes rigging are different.  We agree with Bernie's concerns about the system, so we are paying attention to election integrity (fraudulent electronic vote counting), gerrymandering, voter suppression, attacks on the Voting Rights Act, Supreme Court decisions that reduce or eliminate limits on campaign contributions/expenditures, "dark money" and the influence of the electoral college. . 
 

Moving forward on affordable, universal healthcare  for all Oregonians

Alliance for Democracy supports universal single payer health care in Oregon and throughout the United States.   

We support Healthcare for All Oregon.

In Corvallis and Ashland, voters agreed by approving ballot measures calling to the Oregon legislature to write legislation for universal affordable healhcare for all Oregon residents.  In both cases, the vote was 74% in favor.
