My Dad recently passed away w/o family with him behind the locked doors of a care facility, due to COVID restrictions. Had I been allowed to be there, I would have made clear my love for my Dad the way Joe made wonderfully clear to son in this photo. #BidenHarris2020

(1/2) Thx for feedback that 1000-person designated FEMA camping spaces are too big? Ok. What about six designated camping sites for 500? Or, for some, is their objection really about wanting to continue #PDX ’s failed policies of allowing unsanctioned camps where everywhere?
