The 3rd Annual Law & Disorder Conference on April 6-8th 2012 Portland State University
We got a chance to talk to Brandon of the Portland based Solidarity network, who have expanded their horizons to anti - eviction and tenants' rights work. No doubt there is a new avenue of Class Struggle arising at home, and this Network is taking the forefront of that struggle. GET INVOLVED!
Ever seen those painted intersections or small covered benches around Portland neighborhoods? Here's when they are made! This is a brief press release for a community-powered event happening May 25 - June 3. The Village Building Convergence is a 10-festival of ecological installations and holistic celebration!
anarcho-syndicalist union CNT has called for a general strike in spain for march 29th. not to be left out, the other major labor unions have also called their members and supporters out as well.the idea has gone viral throughout europe, and the spanish general strike has spawned a european day of action against capital, to be carried out on march 31.
we're all experiencing this together, so why not take part and make it a worldwide general strike and mobilization against capital? and instead of trying to all gather in one place, why not gather in local parks? and instead of confronting the masses of police arrayed against us, why not talk with our neighbors, friends and allies? and why not check out more than one gathering? And why not carry banners through the neighborhoods, singing songs, chanting, and asking everyone we meet to join us?
When Occupy started out last fall, the only thing I could think of is how poor a time fall is for a revolution. Humans follow the same patterns as plants, in fall the fruits of the year's growth have matured and are ready to be enjoyed, and winter is a time to take shelter and look within. Not the best time for an uprising. But Spring is a time to bloom forth and see a new light, as life burgeons all around us!

Tomorrow, Thursday, March 15, enjoy a free movie at participating theatres with a donation of four cans/boxes of nonperishable food for the Oregon Food Bank.
Reach Out and Write! Come join us for letters to political prisoners night. Everything is provided, including basic instructions. New prisoner bio cards with each event feature people imprisoned on many different issues. Shuffle through and pick out a new friend! Writing helps lessen the isolation experienced by many people in prison. It also lets institutions know someone is watching how they treat people. This is easy and can make someone's life a little happier.
Hope to see you there!

There's no way around it. In its current form, Bank of America poses a grave threat to our economy. It is massive, complex and unstable - too big to manage and too big to regulate. Its assets are equal to roughly one-seventh of the U.S. gross domestic product.Sign the Petition to Break Up Bank of America

The occupy movement surprised me by becoming a great success, even though I initially had no expectation of that. I thought it was insane to pitch tents in big cities, and to conduct "General Assemblies" to make decisions by consensus, with goofy "twinkling," etc. I think I was right about it being insane, but nevertheless it was extremely effective. On the other hand, I doubt that these tactics will again be used often, simply because they are far too labor intensive. Even if the "bang for the buck" is worth the effort, there simply are practical limits on the amount of effort people can afford to invest.
The Trans-Pacific FTA is being negotiated behind closed doors between a dozen countries throughout the Pacific Rim. Journalists, most Members of Congress and the people most likely to be impacted by these negotiations are barred from reviewing the U.S. proposals, but approximately 600 corporate lobbyists certified as official "citizen advisers" have regular access to both the negotiating documents and the negotiators.

A new society must be built outside of this one. By working "within the system," one is only integrating oneself further into the system. That's how the Ultramodern world works. Anything that expands or requires economic activity feeds the elitist system. This is what is expected of us. In order to create a healthier, nuturing future for ourselves and our descendants, we are going to have to create new lives outside of the realm of economics and alienation.
