The author reflects on their growth in Portland during the Bush administration, noting the city's resistance to harmful policies and practices. The recent passing of environmental advocate Bob Sallinger emphasizes the spirit of activism within the community. His legacy inspires ongoing efforts to combat corporate and political threats to the environment and society. The author expresses determination to educate future generations about activism, highlighting Portland's role as a platform for organized resistance against local and national injustices.
Bob Sallinger was a constant embodiment of what I love about Portland: fierce and unapologetic resistance to attempts to destroy nature for profit.
As our teachers and mentors leave us, we will continue to educate new generations how to fight and win against the forces who will say and do anything for profit.
Portland continues to be a serious site of resistance to the forces of hate and destruction.
We will continue to organize and fight for a livable future.
