Columbus Day "Celebration"/Convergence on Monday 12-6pm in the Lloyd Center area.
Join us for a variety of activities! Start at Noon @NE 8th & Oregon -site of Earl Bloomies office & Native Fisheries Program & State Building, location of the highest concentration of state employees in Pdx. That building IS open. I believe there will be a group focused on Earl (even though his office is closed Monday)and a group messaging for a variety of "state" focused topics.
Free Chili Lunch provided at 2pm @Holladay Park (between Max line and the Lloyd Center Mall) ~BYOB
BYOB means bring your own bowl as well as your own non-alcoholic beverage.
Food provided by "Now We're Cookin'. We are planning food for 1000 people.
We are an autonomous kitchen with the mission of feeding people associated with Occupy Portland actions NOT at the main occupation site.
After Lunch will focus on re-thinking Columbus Day, corporate colonization education etc.
Microphone reserved specifically for the voices of native people of the americas. They/you have priority at this event.
By 6 PM we will march over to the main OCCUPY PORTLAND site.
