Notice from Deb Mayer from "Oregon Save Our Schools"

This is what they are up to: They are redesigning the entire education system for the state. A council called Learn Works has orchestrated this plan which is a rehash of a plan conceived 20 years ago with original funding from the B & M Gates Foundation. Most of the 30 member Learn Works team are from the business community. There are no parent or student groups represented and educators are only minimally represented. The plan is to ditch the Superintendent of Education and put a CEO in charge who, the counsel advises should not be an educator but a business person instead, will design for Oregon a "Cradle to Career" system that taxpayers will fund. The language of Learn Works is scary and similar to ALEC legislation being passed in other states. More testing of students, more accountability, do more with less, etc. They plan to apply for the NCLB waiver which is a bad idea -- California estimated the waiver will cost their state $3.1 billion. Learn Works has developed no budget for the waiver or their new plan.

The Governor, (our Democratic Governor!), plans to rush this into law without public discussion or debate. Our group, Oregon Save Our Schools, thinks the public has a right to know about the future the governor's office is planning for us all. Students, parents, and educators should have a voice in this monumental decision. We are demanding that the Learn Works committee be transparent, allow public to know what they are up to and slow the process down.

We have asked the Oregonian and other media to report about the plan. No media has been at any of the meetings that our group has attended -- since September.

The next two meetings will be Thursday, Nov. 10, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Since they are open to the public. I would like to invite [[[Occupy Portland]] to attend.

The morning meeting is at the Waterfront Marriott. It will be warm inside, but you may have to sit on the floor as you listen to your future being decided for you. The afternoon meeting is at the World Trade Center. You can see from the agenda below that "Invited Testimony" is scheduled, but public testimony is not. Both meetings are only blocks away from Occupy. So . . .

I'm sharing my invitation with Occupy Portland to attend the public meetings on education reform.

Bring a sign. Bring cameras and video recorders. Bring the media.

This is your education and career we're talking about. Make your voice heard. Their may be the need for a mic check.

Community Forum on the 2012 Legislative Session

[improve]

Date: Thursday, November 10 2011
Time: 6:30 PM
Location: Portland Building, Room C, 2nd floor, 1120 SW 5th Ave
Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.

Purpose

Participate in a Community Forum regarding the upcoming 2012 State of Oregon Legislative Session.

Other details
This event is designed to inform the community about the City’s process for developing the legislative agenda, provide an overview of the upcoming 2012 legislative session and have the opportunity for community members to share the issues that their neighborhood and communities are facing with the Commissioner.

Please RSVP to Portland Information and Referral at 503-823-4000

Ideas that the occupation might talk about:

Feed in Tarriff- requiring power utilities to buy solar and sustainable electricity from local generators
Stronger campaign contribution disclosure laws- all significant gifts must be subject to disclosure, and all donors to PACs must be transparent to public examination
Conflict of interest law- regulators working for state agencies must sign to a contract agreeing not to work for businesses regulated by their agency, or businesses owned by subsidiaries thereof, for a certain period of time after their employment with the state agency.
Investment firm tax- tax on brokerage firms
Stock transaction tax- tax on the exchange publicly traded stocks. This will act to cool rapid trading and promote more sober and long term investment strategies.
Public investment credit union- the creation of a publicly owned credit union aimed at the mission of encouraging small business and worker collectives in the state of Oregon
Automatic default of voter eligibility- selective service registration at the age of 18 also serves as default voter registration, making Oregonians registered voters by default. Widens the voter pool and decreases the need for voter registration drives.
Instant Runoff voting- GA ENDORSED- allows voters to rank their preferences on the ballot
Public campaign financing- candidates able to collect a certain number of donations qualify for public funding to run their campaign, weaning our elected officials off of the need for corporate money
Fair and balanced coverage- requiring OPB to provide fair and equal amounts of coverage time to political candidates
Community solar- specification of reform NEEDED
Limited duration charters of encorporation. Alters the default so that a corporation chartered in Oregon is chartered for a temporary duration subject to renewal rather than of permanent duration.
Statutes of dissolution- empowers the Attorney General to dissolve corporations, removing the rights and protections therein, in circumstances of repeated labor or environmental intransigence.
Non-sustainable goods tax. A tax upon foods (for example, bluefin tuna) and goods that cannot be grown or harvested in a sustainable manner (another example: harvestable doug fir trees would be exempt, sequioa hardwoods would be taxed).
New tax schedule for the state income tax- currently, there is a class of $100,000 and up. We wish to see new schedules, like a $200K-500K schedule, a 500K-1M$ schedule, to redress Oregon's tax and infrastructure woes, with new minimum taxes for certain levels of income.
Long legislative session- 2012 is scheduled to be a short session. The people of Oregon our in a profound economic crisis, and we need a legislature with a long session to address our many issues.
Ending corporate personhood- there are many in the 99% who favor a legislative challenge to the doctrine put for in Citizens United v. FEC

The next Solutions Committee meeting will be Sunday, November 13th, at Noon, in either Terry Schrunk Plaza (if not raining) or at the Strategy Tent.

Anti-Coal Zombie March, 10/31, 11:30am-5pm

Date Monday October 31st, 2011
Time 11:30am - 5pm
Location Chapman Square @ SW Main/4th Downtown Portland
Sponsor Rising Tide

Purpose

The Anti-Coal Zombie March is organized by Rising Tide to highlight the banks that fund coal mining (Bank of America, Wells Fargo...) Rising Tide is an international, all-volunteer, grassroots network of groups and individuals who organize locally, promote community-based solutions to the climate crisis and take direct action to confront the root causes of climate change. Contact us at info@portlandrisingtide.org.

Event Info

This is going to be an awesome event for anyone and everyone. Its a great chance to get your ZOMBIE on!! There will be face painters, tombstone making and lots of other great stuff going on. Bring a friend and have fun!

Why we must defeat coal export

At this stage of climate chaos it is indefensible to invest any more money in nonrenewable fossil fuel infrastructure. Coal is the most carbon intensive fuel on the market and responsible for 80% of global warming emissions in the US.

Coal companies have destroyed the American landscape through dangerous mining practices and labor violations. In the one year since Big Coal brought export ideas to the Northwest, they have been caught lying on permit applications acting without permits at all.

Millennium unreported export plans for their Longview terminal by up to 75 million tones annually and Peabody illegally paved 9 acres of wetlands and trees to make way for their proposed 54 million ton facility. Before opening their doors, these companies have proven their toxicity to the communities they work in.

Climate justice and coal export

Coal and other fossil fuel development is based on the practice and principle of externalizing costs, shoving them onto the general public and onto the natural world in the form of pollution, impacts to human health, and destruction of land and water resources. The coal exported through Northwest ports would be sourced from strip mines in the Powder River Basin of Montana and Wyoming and travel via open car rail through the Columbia River gorge.

Well water pollution is already an issue that forces many farmers in the Powder River Basin out of their rural lifestyles. An increase in demand for coal resulting from coal export terminals would further the environmental damage in the Powder River Basin where over 37,000 acres have already been strip-mined and abandoned by Big Coal.

Dozens of towns between the Powder River Basin and the coal export terminal are at risk of becoming “dirty coal train communities.” Each of the open air coal cars on the mile long trains proposed to transport coal to the export terminals releases 500 pounds of coal into the air, land and water during transit. Current export proposals would require up to 50 coal trains each day. Additionally, the small towns on the train routes are ill-equipped to deal with such high volume train traffic and have no contingency plans for the hospitals, schools and businesses that would be blocked by the heavy rail traffic.

Campaign for National Day of Action against the Private Prison Industry

Date Saturday, October 29th
Time 10am
Location Wells Fargo Bank 3782 SE Hawthorne
Sponsor Enlace International
Campaign Video Prison Divestment Campaign
Sponsor Website Enlace Intl
Contact Peter Cervantes-Gautschi: (503) 705-3343 or email: pcg@enlaceintl.org

Purpose

In concert with protesters in 16 major cities across the country, concerned Portlanders will converge on the SE 38th and Hawthorne branch of Wells Fargo Bank to demand that Wells Fargo abandon its role in the nation’s rapidly expanding for-profit immigrant detention system.

About

Over the past three years, hundreds of thousands of non-criminal immigrants have been subjected to excessively abusive treatment in for profit prisons run for the federal government by the Geo Group (GEO) and Corrections of America (CCA). Through its mutual funds, Wells Fargo is a major investor in the GEO, the nation’s second largest private prison company, and a minor shareholder in CCA, the largest.

These for-profit prison companies, which rely on billions of tax dollars as their primary source of revenue, have successfully lobbied federal and state governments to adopt and implement policies that have led to the incarceration of over one million immigrants over the past three years. Recent reports by the Houston Chronicle and PBS showed that excessive abuse of detainees is rampant across the increasingly privatized federal immigrant detention system.

Wells Fargo, a recipient of billions of tax bail-out dollars, is a major contributor to politicians who have championed the increased incarceration of immigrants. Wells Fargo has also played a key role supporting GEO business ventures. Immigrants arrested in the Portland area are sent for detention to the GEO-run Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington.

National Month of Action

The Prison Divestment Campaign will launch a National Month of Action in October 2011, culminating in a National Day of Action on October 29th. The following is a current list of the remaining scheduled actions, by state:

New York - Long Island October 29th & Manhattan October 29th
Washington- Seattle October 29th
Oregon - Portland October 29th
Kansas - Wichita October 29th & 31st
Florida - Miami November 1st
Arizona - Tucson November 2nd
California - San Francisco November 5th
Texas - Austin November 5th

Background

Enlace has been working on exposing Wall Street for its involvement in the Mexico economic crisis of the 1990’s and the current US and global financial crisis. An published article by Peter Cervantes-Gautschi titled “Wall Street and Immigration: Financial Services Giants Have Profited from the Beginning”, exposes Wall Street as the main culprit in the Mexican financial crisis. You can also read Mr. Cervantes-Gautschi’s article “Wall Street and the Criminalization of Immigrants” published last year on the growing role of Wall Street financial institutions and big banks in anti-immigrant laws and policies.

For more tools connecting Wall Street and Immigration, please contact Daniel Carrillo at Daniel@enlaceintl.org or 213-284-3802

Encampment

this is kinda cool, maybe put on a page called Encampment Notes?

We Are the 99 Percent

23:33, 14 October 2011 (PDT): Walking through the camp to get a sense of the mood earlier this chilly, drizzly evening, an observer found the camp mostly in calm spirits. Encountered a young man and young woman who had each just arrived; the young man from Montana, the young woman from South Carolina. The camp library, momentarily devoid of patrons, soon drew a small gathering of people, swapping stories, anecdotes, updates and so on. Mark, the librarian, read aloud a letter to the editor published in the Oregonian penned by someone who described how impressed she was with the camp library.

22:02, 10 October 2011 (PDT): A Columbus Day Convergence took place on Monday, noon to 6 p.m. starting at the Oregon State Office Building (800 N.E. Oregon St.) and continued to Holladay Park. At 2 p.m. organizers offered a free chili lunch and open mic (BYOB = Bring-Your-Own-Bowl). At 6 p.m. a procession began from the Holladay Park through the Steel Bridge, finishing at the #OccupyPortland headquarters at Chapman Square. Twitter hashtag #OccupyEastPDX.

19:27, 9 October 2011 (PDT): News from occupied Chapman Square: Occupy Portland Camp update from inside marathon enclosure - Sunday 09 Oct 2011 | Report by Sylvia O.

16:10, 8 October 2011 (PDT): Chapman Square is crowded with occupiers, their tents and other supplies. Lots of activities happening all over the occupied square: classes (or maybe teach-ins), sign making, play activities for children, singing, organizing, etc. A loud generator is providing much-needed power. Would be great to replace with solar panels that could provide equivalent power supply. The library is has a bigger stock of books that was observed yesterday. So much food available that you'd have to try to go hungry. In fact, an observer was handed fresh fruit by a Food Not Bombs volunteer while also accepting new donations to the Occupy Portland library at the same time. Many impromptu, spontaneous and intelligent discussions happening everywhere, often made up of participants who otherwise have little in common with each other. An observer heard first hand from people quit their jobs to join the occupation, and know of others who did the same. Lots of awareness about the necessity of creating our own media and our own economy. Lots of spontaneous organization happening continuously. This is a movement.

21:38, 7 October 2011 (PDT): By mid-evening the mood at Chapman Square looked, felt and sounded celebratory and relaxed. Many families with children were present; most apparently having a great time. Lots of people engaged in activity ranging from light-hearted play to serious discussions. The 7:00 p.m. general assembly appeared to cycle through issues and discussions more productively, and appeared to avoid getting too bogged down--a step forward from the previous evening's GA.

08:50, 7 October 2011 (PDT): Reports aired over KBOO Radio's Positively Revolting program have indicated that protesters have come to a decision to consolidate in Chapman Square, located in Portland's Plaza Blocks, the downtown park situated across from Portland City Hall.[2]

Camp residents still remained in Chapman Square as of noon, and held a general assembly to decide what to do next.
