Rose
Citizen
A love letter to the helpers in the Rose City, delivered to your inbox monthly with love.
Less haters, more helpers.
Each month, Rose Citizen curates local news stories about the ways, big and small, that Portlanders are showing up for each other and the planet.
It’s a small but tangible step toward shifting our focus from what’s wrong to what’s possible. We hope these monthly love letters help you feel warm fuzzies about your city and get inspired to be part of the possibilities.

It’s defiant joy. It’s sort sweet, sorta silly. It’s honest-to-goodness facts from your neighborhood climate nerd. It’s a little different every time. It’s love in email form.
“Heroes are not giant statues framed against a red sky. They are people who say: This is my community, and it is my responsibility to make it better.”
— Tom McCall, Oregon governor 1967 – 1975
