| event name = Emergency Labor Outreach Committee Meeting
| page = Emergency Labor Outreach Committee Meeting 14 November 2011
| date = Monday, 14 November 2011
| time = 5:30 p.m.

; Quick Reportback: & Next Steps for the Labor Outreach Committee

; 1) What is the Labor Outreach Committee?
30+ individuals and many more supporters actively meeting and organizing for [[Occupy Portland]] and community labor events! We do outreach to unions and other labor-oriented groups for supplies, volunteers, and in search of solidarity struggles for Occupy!

; 2) What happened over the Weekend, 11/12 & 11/13?
The mainstream media reports that the camp has been cleared. True. But only after 38 days of camping and 48 hours of resistance, dozens of arrested, many more actions planned, and a clear sense of community and solidarity among thousands of Portlanders and millions around the world who hear the call of the 99%!

We'd like to make it clear: Occupy will continue. We are currently regrouping and gearing up for a big week of actions. November 16th is a day of student walkout at Portland State University. November 17th will see a large turnout against the planned city budget cuts and the loss of important union jobs and social services as and decentralized struggles around the banks...NATIONWIDE!

; 3) Plans are already in the works for an [[Immigrants Rights March]] in December, and many other important struggles.

Join a committee and get to assembling...http://OccupyPortland.org

We are on the way towards the biggest [[May Day]] yet!

Occupy the Courts 20 January 2012

{{Occupy Portland Event
| event name = January 20, 2012 – Move to Amend Occupies the Courts!
| page =
| date = Friday 20 January 2012
| time = 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM
| location = Federal Courts Nationwide
| purpose =
; Call to Action

Inspired by our friends at Occupy Wall Street, and Dr. Cornel West, Move To Amend is planning bold action to mark the second anniversary of the infamous Citizens United v. FEC decision!

Occupy the Courts will be a one day occupation of Federal courthouses across the country, including the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., on Friday January 20, 2012.

Move to Amend volunteers across the USA will lead the charge on the judiciary which created — and continues to expand — corporate personhood rights.

Americans across the country are on the march, and they are marching OUR way. They carry signs that say, “Corporations are NOT people! Money is NOT Speech!” And they are chanting those truths at the top of their lungs! The time has come to make these truths evident to the courts.

| purpose = Homelessness, crime, and threats to safety have been tolerated for too long in the city.
Only now that these issues are one block away from the Police Department has it become more visible and impossible to ignore. City Hall wants to disperse the danger back into our neighborhoods, rather than creating realistic solutions.

| time = N/A
| location = The presidential campaign headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa and political events throughout the state
| purpose =
[http://occupydsm.org/ OccupyDSM] are in early stages of planning several actions to coincide with the Iowa Caucuses, the first in the nation presidential electoral event, and they have put a call out to occupations and occupiers across the nation (and world for that matter) to join.

Please see this [http://occupyportland.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=672 occupy portland forum post] for more information and to engage with this event.

Here are the minutes from the Nov 2, Des Moines GA:

'''FIRST IN THE NATION CAUCUS OCCUPATION CAMPAIGN WORKING GROUP'''

''We reviewed the proposition that was passed in the GA about this campaign:''

In solidarity with Occupy Wall Street, Des Moines issues a call to action to people around the planet.

We are excited to announce the First in the Nation Caucus Occupation. This winter, presidential campaign headquarters in Des Moines, Iowa and political events throughout the state will be occupied. Join us.

For too long, greedy corporations and corrupted politicians have dictated public policy and political interests on a global scale. Although these corporations and moneyed interests have vast capital resources, now every dollar belonging to the 1% shall be countered by a voice. An individual. One of the 99%.

We demand our grievances no longer be ignored.

''After much discussion, the group reached consensus on the following campaign goals:''

To reshape the political discourse during the Caucus season around the concerns of the 99%

To include non-violent civil disobedience in our campaign activities

{{EarlyOccupyPortlandOrganizers}}

== Before the 10/6/11 March ==

* Saturday, September 17, 2011: Occupy Wall Street begins, New York City

* September 24, 2011: First Portland General Assembly held (see [[Occupy Portland - Minutes|minutes]]) at Powell's Books

* Friday, October 1, 2011 - 7pm: Second General Assembly held, SW Waterfront Park (see [[Occupy Portland - Minutes|minutes]]). About 250-300 people attended and self-organized into multiple committees.

* Tuesday, October 4, 2011 - 7pm: Third General Assembly planned, SW Waterfront Park (see [[Occupy Portland - Minutes|minutes]]). Organizers hold last-minute debates on whether or not to seek permits from the city, and decide that permits would only restrict the times and places of protest. Target for post-march camping site was held as a secret. The secret target was [[Terry Schrunk Plaza]], based on legal precedent that First Amendment rights would be better protected on federal property.

* Thursday, October 6, 2011 - MARCH ROUTE (On day of protest.) http://bit.ly/OccupyPortlandRoute. Organizers, hoping for a showing of perhaps 2000 people, are greeted by approximately four thousand gathered at Riverfront Park, a crowd that swelled through the early afternoon to an estimated 10,000 or more at [[Pioneer Square]]. Elaborate preparations for police action (tear gas, arrests) were completely unnecessary.

== Week 1 - Friday 10/7 - Thursday 10/13 ==

* '''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]].<ref>[http://maps.google.com/maps?q=chapman+square+portland&hl=en&ll=45.516211,-122.678018&spn=0.022283,0.054288&hq=chapman+square&hnear=Portland,+Multnomah,+Oregon&t=m&z=15&vpsrc=0 Chapman Square]</ref>

* '''16:10, 8 October 2011 (PDT):''' [[Chapman Square]] is crowded with occupiers, their tents and other supplies. Lots of activities happening all over the [[Chapman Square|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, [[User:WikiMaster|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. [[User:WikiMaster|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''.

* Sunday, October 9, 2011 - 7pm to 8pm (prime time) live on Portland Comcast channel 11.

* '''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 [[User:Camior|Sylvia O.]]

* '''22:02, 10 October 2011 (PDT):''' A [[ColumbusDayConvergence|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 [http://twitter.com/#!/search/%23occupyeastpdx #OccupyEastPDX].

== Week 2 - Friday 10/14 - Thursday 10/20 ==

* '''23:33, 14 October 2011 (PDT):''' Walking through the camp to get a sense of the mood earlier this chilly, drizzly evening, [[User:WikiMaster|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.

== Week 3 - Friday 10/21 - Thursday 10/27 ==

== Week 4 - Friday 10/28 - Thursday 11/3 ==

* on 11/3 at 11:00 Occupy protesters [[JPMorganChase Luncheon 11 03 2011|marched against the appearance of Jamie Dimon]], the CEO of JP Morgan Chase, at the Hilton.

* On 10/31, Halloween, OP was [[Michael Moore Visits Occupy Portland 10 31 2011|visited by Michael Moore]]

== Week 5 - Friday 11/4 - Thursday 11/10 ==

* on 11/5 [[Bank Transfer Day 11 05 2011|Bank Transfer Day]] was observed to great national success - reportedly 650,000 customers closed accounts at large banks and moved $4.5 billion in deposits to credit unions

* on 11/5, eleven Occupy Portland protesters chained themselves together, and to a 55-gallon barrel filled with concrete. As reported by the Oregonian, Federal Protective Service opted not to take action against them at the time. This group of protesters was still in place a week later.

* on 11/6 the [[Stop The Tar Sands Pipeline 11 06 2011|Tar Sands Pipeline march]] started at [[Terry Schrunk Plaza]] and marched on the [[Pioneer Courthouse]], where protesters held hands and encircled it

* on 11/7 the Finance Committee debacle continued with the news, reported in the Willamette Week, that the $14,000 collected and held in the name of Occupy Portland was being returned to the original donors, without the knowledge or permission of OP. Amanda Palmer appeared in camp.

* on 11/9 the "spokescouncil" proposal passed the GA; the Oregonian reports that a man associated with Occupy was arrested for throwing a "Molotov cocktail" at Portland's World Trade Center the previous day; Mayor Sam Adams appeared on OPB's Think Out Loud to discuss the occupation

* on 11/10, reported in the Oregonian, Gresham Mayor Shane Bemis and Police Chief Craig Junginger delivered an invoice for $1,546.52 for damage sustained to Gresham police vehicles near the Occupy site.

== Week 6 - Friday 11/11 - Thursday 11/17 ==

* on Saturday night 11/12 / Sunday morning 11/13, in response to the mayor's evacuation notice, a crowd conservatively estimated at 5,000 people (by KGW and by the Portland Police Bureau twitter feed) filled downtown streets in the early morning hours

{{EarlyOccupyPortlandOrganizers}}

== Before the 10/6/11 March ==

* Saturday, September 17, 2011: Occupy Wall Street begins, New York City

* September, 2011: First Portland General Assembly held (see [[Occupy Portland - Minutes|minutes]])

* Friday, October 1, 2011 - 7pm: Second General Assembly held, SW Waterfront Park (see [[Occupy Portland - Minutes|minutes]]). About 250-300 people attended and self-organized into multiple committees.

* Tuesday, October 4, 2011 - 7pm: Third General Assembly planned, SW Waterfront Park (see [[Occupy Portland - Minutes|minutes]]). Organizers hold last-minute debates on whether or not to seek permits from the city, and decide that permits would only restrict the times and places of protest. Target for post-march camping site was held as a secret. The secret target was [[Terry Schrunk Plaza]], based on legal precedent that First Amendment rights would be better protected on federal property.

* Thursday, October 6, 2011 - MARCH ROUTE (On day of protest.) http://bit.ly/OccupyPortlandRoute. Organizers, hoping for a showing of perhaps 2000 people, are greeted by approximately four thousand gathered at Riverfront Park, a crowd that swelled through the early afternoon to an estimated 10,000 or more at [[Pioneer Square]]. Elaborate preparations for police action (tear gas, arrests) were completely unnecessary.

== Week 1 - Friday 10/7 - Thursday 10/13 ==

* '''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]].<ref>[http://maps.google.com/maps?q=chapman+square+portland&hl=en&ll=45.516211,-122.678018&spn=0.022283,0.054288&hq=chapman+square&hnear=Portland,+Multnomah,+Oregon&t=m&z=15&vpsrc=0 Chapman Square]</ref>

* '''16:10, 8 October 2011 (PDT):''' [[Chapman Square]] is crowded with occupiers, their tents and other supplies. Lots of activities happening all over the [[Chapman Square|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, [[User:WikiMaster|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. [[User:WikiMaster|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''.

Organizers hold last-minute debates on whether or not to seek permits from the city, and decide that permits would only restrict the times and places of protest. Target for post-march camping site was held as a secret. The secret target was [[Terry Schrunk Plaza]], based on legal precedent that First Amendment rights would be better protected on federal property.

* Thursday, October 6, 2011 - MARCH ROUTE (On day of protest.) http://bit.ly/OccupyPortlandRoute. Organizers, hoping for a showing of perhaps 2000 people, are greeted by approximately four thousand gathered at Riverfront Park, a crowd that swelled through the early afternoon to an estimated 10,000 or more at [[Pioneer Square]]. Elaborate preparations for police action (tear gas, arrests) were completely unnecessary.

* '''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.

* '''16:10, 8 October 2011 (PDT):''' [[Chapman Square]] is crowded with occupiers, their tents and other supplies. Lots of activities happening all over the [[Chapman Square|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, [[User:WikiMaster|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. [[User:WikiMaster|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''.

= Jamie Dimon Action Nov 2, 2011 =
* When '''11/2/11 @ 5PM'''
* Where '''Seattle Sheraton'''

;Occupy Jamie Dimon This Wednesday

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is one of the most powerful and wealthiest men on Wall Street. He earns about one thousand times the median U.S. household income, and has an estimated net worth of somewhere between $300 million and $3 billion. His bank was at the epicenter of the economic collapse that cost millions of Americans their jobs, their homes, and their futures. He insists that foreclosure is a form of magnanimous "debt relief" that leaves the former homeowners "better off" than they were before. He's perhaps the most vocal and effective opponent of proposed international financial regulations that could avoid yet another banking collapse and bailout.

And he's coming to Seattle.

Few banks were more complicit in, or profited more from, the financial collapse than JPMorgan Chase, a leading player in the real-estate-bubble-inflating subprime mortgage market and the main banker to imprisoned Ponzi-schemer Bernie Madoff. Earlier this year, Chase agreed to pay $153.6 million to settle US Securities and Exchange Commission fraud charges, just days before the trustee representing Madoff's victims filed claims seeking $19 billion in damages. "JPMorgan Chase chose to enable Madoff's fraud," the trustee charged in a 155-page complaint, "not just through the various ways it participated in its activity, but by helping to cover Madoff's naked theft with the imprimatur of a globally recognized financial institution."

Even Madoff credits the "willful blindness" of his bankers for his ability to carry on his scheme so long. "They had to know," Madoff told the New York Times. "But the attitude was sort of, 'If you’re doing something wrong, we don’t want to know.' "

More recently, Chase was fined $47 million by UK regulators, and $88 million by the US Treasury for illegal trading with Iran, Sudan, Liberia, and Cuba, a settlement that reveals Chase's willingness to act above laws intended to serve America's self-interest. But of course those numbers are chump change compared to the $25 billion taxpayer-funded bailout Chase received in 2008—the largest bailout amount awarded—money that CEO Jamie Dimon admitted at the time he intended to use to be "a little bit more active on the acquisition side or opportunistic side," rather than for making the kinds of new loans necessary to help jump-start our economy. And that was after Chase had already scooped up troubled financial giants Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual at bargain-basement postcrash prices.

If anyone epitomizes the arrogance and greed of our "too big to fail" banking industry, it is Dimon, who has deftly navigated the economic crisis to make Chase even bigger. While the government-backed FDIC ate the bulk of Washington Mutual's subprime loan losses in the biggest bank failure in US history, Chase snatched up WaMu's lucrative retail banking business for pennies on the dollar, helping it to leapfrog Citibank and Bank of America in recent months to become the nation's largest bank, with $2.3 trillion in assets. Yet even that's not big enough. In an interview with the Financial Times, Dimon railed against efforts to increase capital requirements for the very largest banks, decrying the new regulations as a "miscarriage of justice." This from the CEO of a bank that happily fattened itself on the remains of WaMu, a predatory lending pioneer a US Senate report accused of creating a "mortgage time bomb" by making subprime loans they knew would go bad, and then fraudulently packing them into risky securities.

As for the many victims of WaMu, Chase and the rest of the taxpayer-bailed-out/government-guaranteed banking industry (would you deposit your money in these banks without the FDIC's assurance?), Dimon shows little empathy or compassion. "Giving debt relief to people that really need it, that's what foreclosure is," Dimon told CNBC in May. "[Homeowners] are probably better off going somewhere else, because they get relieved almost 100 percent of the debt through disclosure."

Gee, thanks for the foreclosure, Jamie. It's good to know you haven't forgotten the little people.

And if you want to show your appreciation to Dimon for all his hard work toward helping the top one percent of American dreams come true, you'll have an opportunity to express your thanks in person, Wednesday, November 2, when Dimon is the featured speaker at the UW's Foster School of Business "Business Leadership Celebration," at Seattle's downtown Sheraton Hotel. Occupy Seattle is planning to march on the Sheraton at 5:45 pm, and I urge the rest of the 99 Percent to join me in welcoming Dimon to Occupy Seattle.

= March for Universal Health Care 11 19 2011 =
* Date '''Nov. 19, 2011'''
* Time '''TBA'''
* Where '''TBA'''

;About 42 million Americans do not have health insurance and 30 million to 40 million are underinsured.

Universal access to a single system of health care is not a new struggle but has definitely been a long one!
Such a national system would include allowing patients to choose their hospitals and doctors, taking these decisions back from insurance companies. American health insurance is a mess with deductibles that are so high for a number of people that they make health insurance unaffordable, particularly when it comes to regular checkups and preventative treatment. Both of which would greatly minimize emergency room visits for those without healthcare, as well as reduce the crowding and long waits there.

Critics say a move toward a government-backed national health program is a move closer to socialized medicine, similar to what many European countries have. We say Americans should all care about those you don't have health care, or those who don't have enough. Health care reform is a complicated, massive undertaking that has a lot of people offering different ideas on what will work, and what won't. But everyone can agree that some action is needed.

| other details =
Universal access to a single system of health care is not a new struggle but has definitely been a long one!
Such a national system would include allowing patients to choose their hospitals and doctors, taking these decisions back from insurance companies. American health insurance is a mess with deductibles that are so high for a number of people that they make health insurance unaffordable, particularly when it comes to regular checkups and preventative treatment. Both of which would greatly minimize emergency room visits for those without healthcare, as well as reduce the crowding and long waits there.

Critics say a move toward a government-backed national health program is a move closer to socialized medicine, similar to what many European countries have. We say Americans should all care about those who don't have health care, or those who don't have enough. Health care reform is a complicated, massive undertaking that has a lot of people offering different ideas on what will work, and what won't. But everyone can agree that some action is needed. It's something so basic, and we should all have it - but we don't.

The Portland Jobs with Justice Health Care Committee are also working to organize a deeper statewide network & movement, with an expanded coalition to be launched in January, and a tour in December of some folks from the Vermont Workers' Center. The VWC people will be doing events about how grassroots organizing around '''"health care is a human right"''' contributed to Vermont creating the first law with a clear path to a state-level universal publicly funded single payer health care system. (It is truly universal, including everyone living in the state regardless of citizenship).

'''It's always a fight when you're fighting for something that is right - especially for young people, older people, and people still in the work force as well as the many unemployed workers that are unable to find work in today's economy.'''

On the right there are congressional Republicans, allied with and supported by the pharmaceutical and health insurance companies, as well as numerous other health-related agencies, which are bound and determined to defeat any attempt to bring universal health care to America.

'''There are more than 50 million Americans without health insurance, and this number may have increased dramatically with recent massive layoffs.'''

"Know also that among 36 nations that provide health care for all their citizens, there are similar layoffs, but losing your job in those countries does not affect your health coverage. Despite the fact that we spend twice as much as these other countries for our health care, we get significantly less for the money. It’s time for America to move to universal health care. It’s the sensible thing to do."

{{Occupy Portland Event
| event name = #N17 - Call To Action
| date = Thursday, November 17, 2011
| time = 10:00am - 11:30pm
| location = Occupy Everywhere
| purpose =
On November 17th, Join the 99%
<br />
Occupy Portland, in solidarity with organized labor and the 99% around the world, will mobilize for a day of peaceful direct action to reject the economy that divides us and rebuild an economy that works for all. We will resist the banks and the government they control, reclaim our democracy, and recreate the society we want to see.
<br />
'''Resist austerity. Reclaim the economy. Recreate our democracy.'''
<br />
Occupy Portland has endorsed a call for decentralized-yet-coordinated nonviolent civil disobedience against big banks on Nov. 17. Let’s shut them down!
* Resist the 1% economy that drowns us in debt, forecloses on our homes, profits from war, eliminates our jobs and closes our schools and hospitals.

* Reclaim the economy for the 99%. Everyone deserves the opportunity to find honest work, live with dignity, and pursue a better future.

* Recreate our democracy. We will start to create a society that is organized to meet human needs, not maximize corporate profit.
<br />
On November 17th, the 99% will reclaim our destiny from the 1% and fight back against their plans for austerity.
<br />
<br />
'''Please send invites to everyone you know in the Portland-area for this event!'''
<br />
Occupy Wall Street, in solidarity with organized labor and the 99% around the world, has called for a day of non-violent civil disobedience on Thursday November 17th to reject the economy that divides us and rebuild an economy that works for all. We will resist the banks and the government they control, reclaim our democracy, and recreate the society we want to see.
<br />

This is a call to form '''“affinity group”''' action teams, take on support roles, or join in a public march visiting action locations.
An action “Spokes Council” for communication between and support of affinity group has been formed by the Occupy Portland Action Committee and seeks your participation.
<br />

'''How to engage:'''
<br />

* Check out '''www.n17pdx.org''' and email '''join@n17pdx.org'''

* Form an affinity group! A team of half-a-dozen friends can, for example, shut down a corporate bank for hours, especially if utilizing u-locks or other basic “lock-down” devices. The spokescouncil has seats for representatives of all active affinity groups and is working to ensure actions don’t accidentally conflict, can get their action’s message out to media, have legal support, and more.

* Support the direct actions! There are many ways to help support actions without risking arrest – police and media liaisons, legal observation, march planning, outreach, and more. Teams are forming for all of them, and are a great place to get trained – '''no experience necessary.'''

* Get trained! Many workshops for anyone wanting help planning actions and organizing new affinity groups are happening! Schedule at '''www.n17pdx.org/training''' (link at bottom of page), or contact '''training@n17pdx.org.'''

* Join the march! Details will be posted soon.

* Donate! This coordinated mass action – one of the largest days of action in Portland history – is being run on a shoestring! Put your money where your values are now! We need your support asap, every bit helps: Funds are desperately needed for legal support, outreach material, sign making supplies, and civil disobedience blockade devices. Do you want to see the big banks shut down? Then please put your money where your visions are and visit www.n17pdx.org/donate today!!

Spread the word! RSVP on [http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=104127476368742 Facebook], invite others, help put up flyers, and check out our website for more ideas.

This is a once in a generation opportunity to take bold action with a critical mass of activists willing and ready to confront corporate greed. Seize the moment. Take the day off work (because the banks are open 9-5). Spread the word. Gather your friends. Plan your action. Be Creative. Occupy the Banks.

'''Join us.'''

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.

; Portlanders To March in Support of Occupy Oakland’s General Strike and to Oppose Police Violence Locally and Nationally

On Wednesday, November 2nd, Veterans and community members from across Portland will rally in support of Marine Corp. Veteran Scott Olsen. The rally will be held at Terry Schrunk Plaza at 4:30 pm followed by a march at 5:30 pm. Olsen, a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IAVA), was struck by a police tear gas canister and suffered a cracked skull during an Occupy demonstration Wednesday, October 26 in Oakland.

The event, caught by a number of videos posted on YouTube, outraged young and older veterans alike. A call has gone out from Oakland for cities across the country to say no to violence against the Occupy Movement and no to police violence and to stand in solidarity with the general strike being called for Wednesday in Oakland. IVAW is being supported in this rally by Veterans for Peace, many Iraq, Afghanistan and Viet Nam Veterans across the country, and local Portland organizations, occupiers, and community members.

Additionally, the pledgers for the call for a General Strike If and Only If 30,000 people call for it, call for it to be Non Violent, Distributed, Arrest Adverse, Neighborhood Based actions and discussions. Else we proceed as planned with solidarity with the Rally and March.
; Say No To Police Violence Against Peaceful Protest
; No To Police Violence Towards Anyone
; Sign the petition NOW!
[http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/lets-get-along/ SIGN THE PETITION]

We urge anyone who would like to form and plan their own groups and actions to be carried out autonomously to do so on this date alongside the strike and march, they could be based out of those groups of friends and neighbors that meet sometime during the day. And then perhaps the whole of the metro Portland streams to Terry Schrunk Park as neighborhoods. Whatever it will be, you will have to Self-Organize it.

Below is the proposal passed by the Occupy Oakland General Assembly on Wednesday October 26, 2011 in reclaimed Oscar Grant Plaza. 1607 people voted. 1484 voted in favor of the resolution, 77 abstained and 46 voted against it, passing the proposal at 96.9%. The General Assembly operates on a modified consensus process that passes proposals with 90% in favor and with abstaining votes removed from the final count.

; PROPOSAL :
We as fellow occupiers of Oscar Grant Plaza propose that on Wednesday November 2, 2011, we liberate Oakland and shut down the 1%. We propose a city wide general strike and we propose we invite all students to walk out of school. Instead of workers going to work and students going to school, the people will converge on downtown Oakland to shut down the city. All banks and corporations should close down for the day or we will march on them.

While we are calling for a general strike, we are also calling for much more. People who organize out of their neighborhoods, schools, community organizations, affinity groups, workplaces and families are encouraged to self organize in a way that allows them to participate in shutting down the city in whatever manner they are comfortable with and capable of. The whole world is watching Oakland. Let’s show them what is possible.

The Strike Coordinating Council will begin meeting everyday at 5pm in Oscar Grant Plaza before the daily General Assembly at 7pm. All strike participants are invited. Stay tuned for much more information and see you next Wednesday.

Keep Coal Out of the NW 11 13 11

2011-11-13T05:46:09Z

Lockley: cat

{{Occupy Portland Event
| event name = Keep Coal Out of the Northwest! A Teach In/Strategy Session
| page = Keep Coal Out of the NW 11 13 11
| date = Sunday, November 13, 2011
| time = 2:00pm – 4:00pm
| location = Tabor Space, Muir Hall 5441 Southeast Belmont St. Portland, OR 97215
| purpose = Sponsored by Portland Rising Tide

As the market for coal in the US falls, Big Coal threatens to open the Northwest as a gateway for coal export.

* The town of Longview, WA, 60 miles north of Portland, is facing a proposal from Millennium Bulk Logistics (a subsidiary of Big Coal giants Ambre Energy and Arch Coal) to become the second largest coal export terminal in the world, exporting up to 80 million tons of coal annually.
* Boardman, St. Helen’s and Coos Bay, OR as well as Bellingham, WA are all at some stage of talks with Big Coal companies.

'''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.'''

Each of the open air coal cars on the mile long trains headed to the export terminals would release 500 pounds of coal into the air, land and water during transit. Current export proposals would require up to 50 coal trains each day coming from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana.

Come enjoy coffee and snacks with Portland Rising Tide as we discuss these and other dirty tricks that Big Coal has in store for us. Share your vision for a coal-free existence and strategize with us on how we can stand up to dirty energy and keep coal out of the Northwest!
