Dozens gathered on a sparkling Saturday afternoon to decry using taxpayer dollars to fund a Moda Center renovation, calling on local leaders to instead focus on keeping Portland schools open, preserving teachers’ jobs and settling ongoing contract talks with a union representing nearly 1,000 city workers.

The event, held in the shadow of the Moda Center, was organized by Sunrise PDX, a climate action group. The Portland chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America also helped organize the rally, which concluded with about 30 people riding bikes around the perimeter of the Moda Center.
