Green is AFSCME’s color
From left: Jeff Klatke, Ella Lewis and Kathy Alsworth were among the
members of American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees
(AFSCME) Local 189 members volunteering Aug. 28 at Southeast Sunday
Parkways. Sunday Parkways, which was sponsored by Kaiser Permanente
this year, is a series of events organized by the Portland Bureau of
Transportation, in which several mile loops of streets are closed to motor
traffic and opened up to thousands of bicyclists and pedestrians. Volunteers
helped explain the event to motorists, and handed out frozen treats to
bicyclists of all ages. Lewis, Local 189’s elected organizer, recruited volunteers
for the event as part of a campaign to raise the visibility of public employee
union members. Local 189 represents about 1,200 employees at the City of
Portland, City of Cornelius, and the Bureau of Emergency Communications
(911). The Aug. 28 event in Southeast Portland was the third Sunday
Parkways at which Local 189 members helped out. A fourth one will take
place noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25 in Northeast Portland.
