The training will be facilitated by Lauren Regan, executive director from the Civil Liberties Defense Center that provides both legal observation at protests and gives people tools they need to invoke their rights.

STOP ACTA ! Worldwide protest

[improve]

Purpose

Global call to action to defend freedom of the Internet.

ACTA (Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement), an agreement that threatens the freedom of internet.

This agreement aims to formally protect intellectual property internationally. So far so good .. But the term "intellectual property" is deliberately vague. It may refer to trademarks, ideas or information. ACTA should therefore address the imitation of something subject to copyright. Suffice it to share copyrighted information to see his bail removed and internet access to prosecution.

To verify that you trade any content submitted to copyright, ACTA will strengthen surveillance.

The internet service providers should verify all data sent and received on your computer. Suffice it to cite a newspaper article in an email or send a piece of music to be taken by hand in the bag. The information will be sent to the author and you can bail at the request of a fine or prison sentence.

The agreement benefits only a fraction of industrial companies such as RIAA and MPAA (inter-professional associations representing the interests of the music industry and film).

ACTA is the result of their lobbying of governments.

A new democracy is baffouée and these are agreements for internet freedom-that we might be imposed by the unelected. This censorship could also permit to remove embarrassing information as is already the case in some countries where it blocks access to certain content, keywords or websites.

The only solution is the mobilization of everyone in the rallies planned for Saturday, Feb. 11 to say no to
  • Seeds copyrighted Prohibitions-generic
  • Internet censorship;
  • Restriction on freedom of expression;
  • Total monitoring of all our online activities;
  • Loss of liberties and civil rights;
  • Loss of internet connection for those who violate the new rules.

This law is not just computers, it will give full powers to companies like Monsento on agriculture ...

NO WAR WITH IRAN RALLY and MARCH

[improve]

  • Date: Sun, February 12
  • Time: 3pm – 5pm
  • Location: Corner of SW Salmon st and SW Park Ave, Portland OR
  • Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.

Purpose

Stop the war of the 1%

We the people of Occupy Portland condemn any act or form of violence.
We believe that any problem can be resolved in a peaceful way, and we are against any future conflict against the nation of Iran.
We want peace on our Planet, not war and no more false flags.

The people of Iran and America do not deserve to be used as tools for the benefit of the 1%. We the people of the world will lose in this war and nobody will win from any side, except the very few people who are orchestrating this insane war.

For this reason we want to make a call out to all the occupations in the country to join us in a national day of anti-war rally and march event this coming February 12, 2012, to make it clear to President Obama and the government that we don’t want any war with Iran.

Going to war with Iran means more tax money will be invested in the war, that in education or health care.

Going to war with Iran means the possibility of future bigger events and possibly war with other nations such as Russia, China, and Pakistan. For the future of the human civilization and our mother earth, let’s stop this madness and make our voice heard.

Peace will come when all come together as one.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE MUSIC AND SPEAKERS FIRST AND THEN WE WILL MARCH.

Occupy Portland invites you to Shut Down the Corporations!

Occupy Portland calls for a national day of non-violent direct action to reclaim our voices and challenge our society’s obsession with profit and greed by shutting down the corporations.

We are rejecting a society that does not allow us control of our future.

We will reclaim our ability to shape our world in a democratic, cooperative, just and sustainable direction.

We call on the Occupy Movement and everyone seeking freedom and justice to join us in this day of action.

There has been a theft by the 1% of our democratic ability to shape and form the society in which we live and our society is steered toward the destructive pursuit of consumption, profit and greed at the expense of all else.

By shutting down the corporations for a day we begin to recreate our democracy. We begin to create a society that is organized to meet human needs and sustain life.

Leap into Action on F29!

Occupy Portland called for a national day of action on February 29th to shut down corporations associated with the anti-democratic American Legislative Exchange Council, ALEC. Over 60 cities across the country will come together on F29 to shut down ALEC's corporate members.
