People's Movement Assembly in Portland May 8th!

What does clearcut logging in Mt. Hood have in common with homelessness in Portland?

Both are reason for radical, systemic change.

Neither will change without a people's movement.

Don't miss out: Deadline for Registration and Resolutions April 17th

In June 2010, people from around the Americas will assemble in Detroit for the US Social Forum. In order to prepare, activists living near Portland are gathering together for a People's Movement Assembly on Saturday, May 8th. This local gathering will:

• Bring people together in an effort to promote collaboration and collective action between different struggles,

• Identify some of our common solutions to the economic and ecological crisis that we are facing today,

• Provide structure to discussions about what we want represented in Detroit at the larger Forum.

We need YOU! At the People's Movement Assembly in Portland we hope to have a broad representation of grassroots-committed, people-driven groups helping to create a list of proposed resolutions for the larger national movement to consider, incorporate and activate. Will you be there?

If you need more information, feel free to contact one of the participating groups, or click here, and keep watching this website where resources and information are continually being added and updated for the assembly in Portland. And while you are there, if you are interested in helping to organize this event, check out when our next planning meeting is occurring. We are all respectful of the amount of work there is to do, but if you take one opportunity this year to deepen your connection to the greater struggle, let this be the time!
