Write Around Portland (WRAP) seeks North Portland artisans for participation in their Summer of Writing Writer's Block Party on July 26. Following WRAP's successful five-week writing workshops, the event, held at Dawson Park, will celebrate the accomplishments of the participants and provide a gathering place for local Boise-Eliot residents.

Now a force of 150,000 is stretched thin, facing increasingly frequent guerrilla attacks, and a senior officer told The Washington Post that it might be two years before an Iraqi government takes over. The Independent reports that British military chiefs are resisting calls to send more forces, fearing being "sucked into a quagmire."
I have heard the term "American" used everywhere, even among folks who claim to be for progressive causes. Technically, we're aiding and abetting the Bush administration's propoganda campaign.

Multnomah County has been in a financial crisis since 2001. This year alone, $30 million has been cut from essential human and social services. Last week, the county announced that an additional $462,000 would be cut from an already reduced budget of $1.2 million for homeless youth services
On Thursday June 12th, 2003 at 9:30 am County Commissioners will be meeting to finalize the 2003-4 Multnomah County budget. Commissioners have stated that they strongly support the replacement of $100,000 of previously cut funds back into homeless youth services. Hundreds of workers from all parts of the social service industry, concerned citizens, homeless youth, community leaders, and supporters from the Industrial Workers of the World and Portland Survival will be gathering to participate in the meeting's public forum and to hold a rally to demand adequate funding, no job losses, and restored services. Workers welcome the return of partial funding, but are adamant that the County Commissioners are not taking the crisis seriously enough and that $100,000 is just a drop in the bucket. Workers will be assembling at 8:30am this morning at the Multnomah County building at 501 SE Hawthorne.

A natural building, made of cob, is going up in N Portland and needs some volunteers to help it along. The building is going to be a garden and tool house for the children at the Trillium Charter School and a message to the community that natural building is an alternative to current building methods. This is not only a chance to help put up another natural building in Portland but also a hands on learning experience in working with cob.

i went to the Cascadia Forest Alliance's action camp at the Solo timber sale at the end of May. Inspired by Cascadia Summer, i've been getting out to the forest as much as possible. i've been learning a lot about the bioregion and its ecosystems, local timber sales, "forest management", wildlife, and the nature of nature itself. Here are some photos and text from what i saw and felt in the forest.

As the swelter of anger bubbles from the machination of misinformation that led to the faltering WMD casus belli for invading Iraq, the retreat and half-baked excuses of Bush, Blair, Cheney, Wolfowitz and Powell further expose the sharp edge of their deceit. Whether it was "intelligence" failure or "flailing" the intelligence, time will soon tell.
The Recall Vera Katz Committee focuses on escalating police violence and the mayor's codependent defense of it, while a competing right-wing recall claims that "Protesters are allowed to shut down the city when the mayor agrees with their views." Uh-huh.

Calling all civil rights supporters, and ESPECIALLY students and youth.

At least 3,240 civilians died across Iraq during a month of war... according to a five-week Associated Press investigation. The count is still fragmentary, and the complete toll — if it is ever tallied — is sure to be significantly higher... a Pentagon spokesman said...

More than half the nation's waters -- ranging from neighborhood creeks and fishing holes to entire drinking water supplies -- could lose federal protection if either of two current attacks on the Clean Water Act is successful.
At least 60 percent of our nation's streams and 20 percent of our wetlands would lose federal protection under the Bush administration proposal. Polluters could then dump wastes into these waterways without a permit, without notifying the public, and without fear of reprisals. Unregulated contamination of these waters from sewage, oil, hazardous chemicals and other pollutants would be disastrous for our drinking water supplies, wildlife habitat, and flood control.
Only a pod person would stand up in public and claim that, because something can't be found, it must be there.
The NGLTF says its no surprise there were 12 anti-gay murders last year when homophobia reaches the highest level of government.
