Portland: Escalating Resistance: Mass Rebellion Training!
6:30 pm
Tuesday, Sept. 24th
6:30 pm
Join with activists from labor, racial, and climate justice in an evening of training provided by legendary activist Lisa Fithian. About this Event Lisa Fithian is an anti-racist organizer who has worked for justice since the 1970s. Using creative, strategic, nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience, she has won many battles and trained tens of thousands of people while participating in a range of movements and mobilizations, including Occupy Wall Street, anti-WTO and corporate globalization protests all over the world, the climate justice movement, and more. As part of her tour to support the release of her new book, "Shut It Down: Stories from a Fierce, Loving Resistance," Lisa will be offering training to hone our strategies and tactics to impact power holders and create social disruption at increasingly larger scales. This organizing requires attention to how we build collective power that heals and liberates us from our socialization in the dominant culture of colonialism and superiority that privileges white, male, Christian and rich people. In addition to this exploration of power and healing we will look at: power mapping of people, economic centers, and geographies to increase impact within strategic terrains, creating calendars of engagement, organizing our people, developing solidarity response networks and how artful "props" can bolster our uprisings. One of the goals of this training is to build a foundation for an alliance of movements with thousands of people for a coordinated mass disruption nationwide that goes beyond what we have done before. We cannot just tear it all down, without replacing systems of oppression with systems of liberation. This is our challenge. Organizing courageous, joyful and bold rebellions rooted in solidarity with a beautiful, loving insistence that another world is possible and we are creating her every day. Let’s do this, friends!

We will deliver a message to the bank manager to be conveyed to corporate officials and we will encourage bank customers to move accounts to credit unions and community-oriented banks.

Gresham: Boeing Protest Rally - 1
1:00 - 3:00 pm
Tuesday, Sept. 24th
1:00 - 3:00 pm
As part of the Global Climate Strike week of action, there will be two events: first at the Gresham City Hall on Tuesday Sept 24, and the second at the entrance to the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Facility on Friday September 27. The purpose of the rallies is to call attention to the role Boeing played in killing the Clean Energy Jobs bill, HB 2020. According to multiple credible reports, Boeing pressured Senator Laurie Monnes Anderson, who had publically stated her support for the bill, to both delay action on the bill and following the walkout of the Senate Republicans to withdraw her support for the bill. The Boeing Corporation claims to be committed to environmental innovation and performance in its products, services and operations. They have stated their commitment to meeting climate change and other challenges head-on by working closely with government agencies, customers, stakeholders and research facilities worldwide to develop solutions that help protect the environment. Their actions related to the Clean Energy Jobs bill are inconsistent with these claims. The event is designed to call public attention to Boeing’s recent actions, which were both contrary to their stated policy and detrimental to the health and wellbeing of the environment, community and state of Oregon. The event will be organized by multiple groups and will be a peaceful gathering of concerned citizens and elected officials to: 1. Registering our deep disappointment in Boeing’s actions regarding HB2020, 2. Urge Boeing and Senator Monnes Anderson to support a future climate bills here in the Oregon, and 3. Highlight the urgency of the looming climate crisis – and the need for immediate action to both mitigate the impending impacts and avoid triggering an irreversible, run-away climate event.

We will be sharing about their experience of their September Climate moment and their experiences in climate movement. This is an opportunity for our climate warriors to continue to bridge our realities of our islanders on the frontlines with our youth living in diaspora. “Talanoa is a generic term referring to a conversation, chat, sharing of ideas and talking with someone. It is a term that is shared by Tongans, Samoans, and Fijians. Talanoa can be formal, as between chiefs and his or her people, and it can be informal, as between friends in a kava circle. Talanoa is also used for different purposes; to teach a skill, to share ideas, to preach, to resolve problems, to build and maintain relationships, and to gather information.” – The Kakala Research Framework, Seu‘ula Johansson Fua.

Portland: Big Timber and the Climate Emergency
7:00 pm
Thursday, Sept. 26th
7:00 pm
Clearcutting and other industrial logging practices are the leading source of greenhouse gas emissions in Oregon. Industrial timber further amplifies the risks associated with climate change by making the land more susceptible to wildfires, water shortages, harmful algae blooms, floods and landslides. Tragically, Oregonians finance these practices through tax breaks and subsidies that total over $600 million per year. Join Center for Sustainable Economy's president and senior economist, Dr. John Talberth, as he reviews the climate impacts of industrial logging practices and policy options for transforming these practices into climate smart alternatives. Complimentary beverages from HopWorks and Union Wine, along with kombucha and snacks will be available!

Global Climate Strike Actions – Boeing Protest Rallies “BOEING HELPED KILL THE CLEAN ENERGY JOBS BILL TO SAVE A FEW BUCKS - RISKING OUR CHILDRENS’ FUTURE” As part of the Global Climate Strike week of action, several groups of concerned citizens are staging rallies to call public attention to the role Boeing played in killing the Clean Energy Jobs bill, HB 2020. Multiple credible reports show that Boeing pressured Senator Laurie Monnes Anderson, who had previously supported the bill, to both delay action on the bill and following the walkout of the Senate Republicans to withdraw her support for the bill. We believe these actions by Boeing were both contrary to their stated policy and detrimental to the health and wellbeing of the environment, community and state of Oregon. There will be two events: 1. Tuesday September 24, 1-3 pm at Gresham City Hall, 1333 NW Eastman Parkway, and 2. Friday September 27, 3:30-5 pm at the entrance to the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Facility on 19000 NE Sandy Blvd. The Boeing Corporation claims to be committed to meeting climate change challenges head-on by working closely with government agencies, customers, stakeholders and research facilities worldwide to develop solutions that help protect the environment. Their actions related to the Clean Energy Jobs bill are inconsistent with these claims. The event will be a peaceful gathering of concerned citizens and elected officials to: 1. Registering our deep disappointment in Boeing’s actions regarding HB2020, 2. Urge Boeing and Senator Monnes Anderson to support a future climate bills here in the Oregon, and 3. Highlight the urgency of the looming climate crisis – and the need for immediate action to both mitigate the impending impacts and avoid triggering an irreversible, run-away climate event. OLCV Metro Climate Action Team and the Climate Action Team of the Multnomah Democratic Party.

Portland: Escalating Resistance: Mass Rebellion Training!
6:30 pm
Tuesday, Sept. 24th
6:30 pm
Join with activists from labor, racial, and climate justice in an evening of training provided by legendary activist Lisa Fithian. About this Event Lisa Fithian is an anti-racist organizer who has worked for justice since the 1970s. Using creative, strategic, nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience, she has won many battles and trained tens of thousands of people while participating in a range of movements and mobilizations, including Occupy Wall Street, anti-WTO and corporate globalization protests all over the world, the climate justice movement, and more. As part of her tour to support the release of her new book, "Shut It Down: Stories from a Fierce, Loving Resistance," Lisa will be offering training to hone our strategies and tactics to impact power holders and create social disruption at increasingly larger scales. This organizing requires attention to how we build collective power that heals and liberates us from our socialization in the dominant culture of colonialism and superiority that privileges white, male, Christian and rich people. In addition to this exploration of power and healing we will look at: power mapping of people, economic centers, and geographies to increase impact within strategic terrains, creating calendars of engagement, organizing our people, developing solidarity response networks and how artful "props" can bolster our uprisings. One of the goals of this training is to build a foundation for an alliance of movements with thousands of people for a coordinated mass disruption nationwide that goes beyond what we have done before. We cannot just tear it all down, without replacing systems of oppression with systems of liberation. This is our challenge. Organizing courageous, joyful and bold rebellions rooted in solidarity with a beautiful, loving insistence that another world is possible and we are creating her every day. Let’s do this, friends!

Start - 7:00 am
Tuesday, Sept. 24th
Start - 7:00 am
Crude Oil from the Tar Sands in Canada is coming by rail through our neighborhoods, and being exported on our rivers. This puts us all at risk, as well as causing untold harm to native lands, boreal forests and our precious climate. We will be keeping watch legally and peacefully outside the Zenith facility from Tuesday, September 24th 7:00 am to Thursday, September 26th 7:00 pm (60 hours continuous), to express our concern, our love for the planet, our grief, and our optimism that things can change.

Salem: Chase Bank Action
4:00 pm
Tuesday, Sept. 24th
4:00 pm
Demand that JPMorgan Chase end its investments in fossil fuel companies and projects, including Jordan Cove/LNG terminal and pipeline in Oregon.

This action is part of a nationwide multi-year campaign to get Chase to stop funding fossil fuels. We will deliver a message to the bank manager to be conveyed to corporate officials and we will encourage bank customers to move accounts to credit unions and community-oriented banks.

Gresham: Boeing Protest Rally - 1
1:00 - 3:00 pm
Tuesday, Sept. 24th
1:00 - 3:00 pm
As part of the Global Climate Strike week of action, there will be two events: first at the Gresham City Hall on Tuesday Sept 24, and the second at the entrance to the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Facility on Friday September 27. The purpose of the rallies is to call attention to the role Boeing played in killing the Clean Energy Jobs bill, HB 2020. According to multiple credible reports, Boeing pressured Senator Laurie Monnes Anderson, who had publically stated her support for the bill, to both delay action on the bill and following the walkout of the Senate Republicans to withdraw her support for the bill. The Boeing Corporation claims to be committed to environmental innovation and performance in its products, services and operations. They have stated their commitment to meeting climate change and other challenges head-on by working closely with government agencies, customers, stakeholders and research facilities worldwide to develop solutions that help protect the environment. Their actions related to the Clean Energy Jobs bill are inconsistent with these claims. The event is designed to call public attention to Boeing’s recent actions, which were both contrary to their stated policy and detrimental to the health and wellbeing of the environment, community and state of Oregon. The event will be organized by multiple groups and will be a peaceful gathering of concerned citizens and elected officials to: 1. Registering our deep disappointment in Boeing’s actions regarding HB2020, 2. Urge Boeing and Senator Monnes Anderson to support a future climate bills here in the Oregon, and 3. Highlight the urgency of the looming climate crisis – and the need for immediate action to both mitigate the impending impacts and avoid triggering an irreversible, run-away climate event.

It is a term that is shared by Tongans, Samoans, and Fijians. Talanoa can be formal, as between chiefs and his or her people, and it can be informal, as between friends in a kava circle. Talanoa is also used for different purposes; to teach a skill, to share ideas, to preach, to resolve problems, to build and maintain relationships, and to gather information.” – The Kakala Research Framework, Seu‘ula Johansson Fua.

Clearcutting and other industrial logging practices are the leading source of greenhouse gas emissions in Oregon.

Tragically, Oregonians finance these practices through tax breaks and subsidies that total over $600 million per year. Join Center for Sustainable Economy's president and senior economist, Dr. John Talberth, as he reviews the climate impacts of industrial logging practices and policy options for transforming these practices into climate smart alternatives. Complimentary beverages from HopWorks and Union Wine, along with kombucha and snacks will be available!
