People's Town Hall presents: The Experiment

The warning lights are flashing in the world’s greatest democracy.

But as voters nationwide go to the polls in 2024 in a high-stakes presidential election, the people of Portland, Oregon, are embarking on an optimistic, ambitious experiment in self-governance -- a top-to-bottom overhaul of their city government, a dramatic expansion of their city council, a new ranked-choice voting system, and the entry of a wave of dynamic newcomers to the halls of power.

Can this innovative, iconoclastic city show the way forward for a polarized country?

Help us document this historic year as an American city reinvents itself.
