Organizing Agenda

Moving beyond the “Wall Street model of human liberty.”

In response, Occupy Portland's Labor Outreach Committee has launched a Peoples’ Assembly Organizing Committee tasked with organizing, planning and facilitating the democratic development of a peoples’ budget centered on democratically addressing the primary economic interests of ordinary working people.

Upcoming Events

TBA
