Purpose

To celebrate the six-month milestone of Occupy Portland, which began on Oct. 6, 2011.

[see below more information]


Chapman Square: https://www.facebook.com/events/419850818029570/ What's on this Friday!? It has been long, long, and eventful six months of Occupy Portland! Let's get together and celebrate in some ways, whether you call it a flash mob or pilgrimage. Get out for lunch break, come down to our holy lands of revolution's birth, the weather forecast says it will be sunny and in the higher-60s! Nothing really structured or organized, with all the other stuff going on (yes, Occupy is doing something and lots of things lately!), just creating an opportunity to celebrate this occasion and meet some new and old friends. [note: If for some reason it is not feasible to converge at the Chapman Square/Alpha Camp, move to the Lownsdale Square/Beta Camp.]

Col. Summers Park: https://www.facebook.com/events/407694145911820/ We will remember our first march and everybody that we are still here and that we haven't go anywhere..It will be a celebration of our first 6 months and a great opportunity to build a strong community within occupy Portland.

We will have only a gathering now since the weather is not helping and a lot of people want to take a break of marching. We will start at 5:30pm with some keynote speakers and will also have a conversation about all the things we have done during these six months. Then we will have a barbecue at 7pm and after that we will have a local occupy Dj playing some music.

Where: Col Summers city Park at the corner of SE 20 Ave and SE Belmont St

Gathering: 5:30pm Barbecue party: 7pm
