Have you heard about the Safer Portland Ballot Initiative?

A proposal is circulating to direct a portion of surplus Portland Clean Energy Fund (PCEF) revenues — now nearly $200M/year — toward public safety improvements, including:

- Hiring additional police officers
- Reducing 911 and emergency response times
- Expanding community policing
- Pairing officers with mental health professionals for the right response in every situation

Right now, organizers are in the signature-gathering phase to qualify the initiative for the ballot. Signing the petition simply gives Portland voters the chance to weigh in — it's not a vote for or against the measure.

Want to learn more or get involved? Join PDNA and the ballot initiative group on June 22, 2026 at Portland Center Stage (5pm) for a community Q&A and signature gathering event.

Read our full blog post below:

Portland voters may soon decide how to direct surplus Clean Energy Fund dollars toward public safety. Learn what the Safer Portland ballot initiative proposes and how to get involved.
