Portland Establishes a ‘Vaxx Coalition’—More Cities Should Follow Suit!

In a bold move, 15 bars in Portland have united to form a “Vaxx Coalition,” requiring proof of vaccination for patrons wishing to enjoy indoor service. As reported by local outlet Willamette Week, this coalition anticipates adding 20 more establishments by the start of the week. This initiative mirrors actions taken by various sectors across the country, as businesses increasingly take a stand against governors resisting public health measures.

Notably, major school districts in Texas, including Dallas and San Antonio, have implemented mask mandates in defiance of Governor Abbott’s restrictions. The tourism industry is also stepping up, with cruise lines asserting their right to enforce vaccine passports, despite pushback from Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis. The health and safety of individuals—students, teachers, and cruise passengers—are at stake, and these businesses are right to call out political maneuvers that endanger lives.

In addition to the bars in Portland, other local businesses are establishing similar safety protocols. For example, Hey Love, a cocktail lounge in the Jupiter Next Hotel, has mandated vaccination proof for indoor service since August 4. Mississippi Studios and Revolution Hall are also adopting policies requiring proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test within 48 hours, with onsite rapid tests available for guests who lack documentation.

This movement is not isolated to Portland. In San Francisco, over 300 bars have announced similar vaccination requirements, while nearly 100 establishments in Seattle have joined the cause. Baltimore is also on board, with local venues like True Chesapeake Oyster Co. and Ottobar implementing vaccination mandates.

Even New York City is stepping into the fray with its “Key to NYC” initiative, requiring proof of vaccination for entry into a variety of public spaces. The response from business owners has been overwhelmingly positive, with some reporting an increase in reservations after announcing their policies.

As these businesses band together, they are not only ensuring the safety of their patrons and staff but also attracting a clientele that values health and safety. The approach of requiring vaccinations or negative tests before entry is gaining traction, and it’s encouraging more establishments to consider similar measures.
