Happy Birthday to Yuri Kochiyama and Malcolm X, who were close friends and comrades in the civil rights movement.

“Unless we know ourselves and our history, and other people and their history, there is really no way that we can really have positive kind of interaction where there is real understanding.”

—Yuri Kochiyama

Bring a candle and a warm drink, but if you do not have any there will be enough to share.

2/19 one individual was murdered, five injured when a shooter opened fire on a group of 50 antifascists in Portland gathered to honor Amir Locke and Patrick Kimmons. Tonight we mourn and gather our strength. Join us in the Owen Rose Garden at 6pm with warm beverages and candles.

This is happening now. Show up when you can to advocate for our houseless populations that are terrorized on a regular basis just for existing with nowhere else to go.

Join together as a community to demand our governance divest from the practice of sweeps. Permanently.
Stop. The. Sweeps.

Where: the Atrium @ 99 W. 10th Ave
When: 12/2
Time: 2pm- as long as it takes
Bring: layers, whatever you need to stay comfy for the long haul. Food snacks for your party.

Come and hear speakers, advocates and testimony from our unhoused neighbors on the impact of the sweeps cycle on lives.

Warm tea, snacks, music, activities and more!
Hosted by a collaborative coalition of local advocates and organizations.
