Dear Mercury readers:

Guess what? YOU are an essential part of what we do. Simply put, without recurring monthly contributions from readers like you, it's impossible to provide the high quality journalism that protects the marginalized and holds the powerful accountable. We've all seen what happens to communities when reporting disappears and falsehoods take root. So if you believe our mission is important and necessary, please consider a small monthly contribution to the Mercury, and we'll keep working hard for you and those who need it most!

Thanks, we appreciate you!

Here's my comeback when I'm working in my grocery store when people say they can't breath with a mask on and have medical issues. Forget the where's the doctors note.
It's, "we have face masks! Would you like one?" huh, huh, huh, ha.

If you enjoy articles like this, please help the Mercury continue our mission of providing up-to-the-minute information, progressive journalism, and fun things to do in Portland by making a small recurring monthly contribution. Never forget: Your help is essential and very much appreciated!
