On this day, May 20, 1976, Trojan Nuclear Power Plant began operating, generating 1,130 megawatts, and operating until 1993, well before the end of its useful life. The plant was plagued with mechanical problems and, as time went on, public opinion against the plant began to pile up. Though two ballot measures were defeated in 1992 at great expense to PGE, the majority owener of the plant, PGE mothballed the plant a year later.
Determined from intersectionality and privilege
In April, Washington County Oregon Health and Human Services gave $1,000,000 to 11 community-based organizations through a grant to that they are saying was to support "community-based organizations" in strengthening "social and emotional wellness across the lifespan".
Washington County says that the goal of this effort was to develop an "equity- and community-centered funding opportunity" that offered organizations the opportunity to select "social and emotional wellness strategies that were trauma-informed and grounded in racial equity approaches".
Washington County says the organizations that were funded will contribute a larger body of work in Washington County that aims to improve behavioral health outcomes among children and youth, adults, and older adults in Washington County, particularly for Black/African American, Indigenous, Hispanic/Latinx, Asian, People of Color, immigrant and refugee, LGBTQ+ communities, or those living at the intersection of those identities.
