Occupy Solidarity Social Forum
[improve]
- Date: Feb. 18/19th
- Time: 8:00 AM
- Location: Washington State Capitol lawn + Evergreen College, Olympia, WA.
- Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.
Purpose
Occupy Olympia (WA) and the Alliance for Global Justice are hosting an Occupy Solidarity Social Forum Feb. 18-19 in the Washington state capital city.
The self-organized, social forum-type gathering is open to all occupiers and allies. (Read more at http://afgj.org/?p=1891)
- Heard about Occupy Solidarity Social Forum (OSSF)?
Not the US Social Forum but inspired by the format, what the OSSF is is a smaller Occupy Wall Street conference to be held in Olympia, WA.
- February 18th and 19th, Occupy Olympia is hosting the weekend of events, forums, actions, workshops and strategy sessions on and for the 99% movement.
This will be a mostly regional audience but the OSSF is being co-sponsored by the Alliance For Global Justice who is reaching out to Occupy organizations all over the US and encouraging their participation.
We think that Olympia, between the two power houses of Occupy Portland and Occupy Seattle, will be a good meeting place to have a face to face conversation that moves us towards next steps.
Other details
I want you to present a workshop at the OSSF. Register your workshop!
February 18th and 19th is not far away, fortunately there are plenty in the northwest with skills and knowledge to share.
This is the first national face to face since the Occupy movement began, we think that it will be a chance to develop the movement during a time when most encampments have gone and the winter weather has slowed us down.
This is a chance for trainings and meetings that can help make the whole stronger and weave together the strands of the movement into a cohesive fabric. This is a chance for you to get your message out to the rest of the country and build your network.
So please take the time to register as a participant and give some thought towards a workshop, training or facilitating a discussion. If you would like to table during the event please let me know.
Solidarity,

Free youth empowerment, leadership and activism workshop through Portland Parks and Rec

- homophobia
- climate change
- racism
- animal rights
- bullying
Like our flagship program, YEA Camp, YEA Academy’s curriculum is based on four areas we feel are critical for activists to develop: knowledge, skills, confidence and community to take action on the issues that matter to them.
From 11am-4pm one Saturday a month, youth have an opportunity to learn key skills like:
- running an effective school club
- fundraising
- running a campaign
- and arts activism
All while finding out about inspiring ways others are having an impact in their community, building self confidence, creating a plan to impact a societal problem, and making friends with other young change-makers.
- YEA Academy is being run in partnership with Portland Parks and Recreation. Spaces are limited, so please register early.
Please note: you must enter the course codes below to find the “Youth Empowerment” course at the Portland Parks and Rec registration website. https://www.portlandparks.org/register/Start/Start.asp
- Each Saturday is a separate registration, so you must register for each course code as a separate course.

Decolonizing Anarchism: Book Launch & IAS Board Event

- Location: Red and Black Cafe 400 SE 12th Ave, Portland, OR 97214
- Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.
Purpose
Maia Ramnath's new book is on the anti-authoritarian elements of India's liberation struggle, examining the history of South Asian struggles against colonialism. It is the third title in the Anarchist Interventions book series, copublished between AK Press and the IAS. Come hear about decolonizing anarchism. Copies will be available at a reduced cost.
"This is a stunningly impactful and densely researched book. Maia Ramnath has offered a vital contribution to our understanding of the long historical entanglement between liberation struggles, anticolonialism, and the radical movement of oppressed peoples against the modern nation-state.
She audaciously reframes the dominant narrative of Indian radicalism by detailing its explosive and ongoing symbiosis with decolonial anarchism" - Dylan Rodriguez
- Also in attendance will be members of the Institute for Anarchist Studies (IAS).
Because the IAS is a 501(c)3 we have a board of directors, the policy making collective of the organization.
Board members will introduce themselves, talk about their organizing work and thoughts about contemporary politics, and attendees will have a chance to talk with them informally.
Please come, learn about Decolonizing Anarchism, meet the board, talk, eat delicious vegan food, and have fun. Beer and kombucha are on tap, and other drinks will also be available.
Other details
In its fifteen years of existence, the IAS has funded over 90 writing projects, giving out roughly $80,000 to individuals in 12 countries.
In addition to financing writers and copublishing books with AK Press, the IAS also publishes Perspectives on Anarchist Theory, has a speakers bureau, and organizes workshops and talks at conferences.
Twice a year the IAS meets to award $2,000 to various struggling radical writers to support their writing. For the first time the IAS will be meeting on the West Coast. IAS folks will be coming from Quebec, Ontario, New York, Philadelphia, Oakland, D.C., L.A., and Detroit.

Chakra Dance
[improve]
- Date: Every Sunday
- Time: 10:30am until 12:30pm
- Location: Tiffany Center 1410 SW Morrison St Ste 600, Portland, OR 97205-1930
- Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.
Purpose
- Each Sunday a special guest will guide us through a "Chakra Dance."
Among the best tools to evolve the spirit are the energy centers known as chakras. Chakra, an ancient sanskrit term meaning “wheel of light,” describes a complex human energy system of awareness.
The seven chakra centers are associated with specific areas of the physical body. Each chakra is equally important to our energy flow and vitality, and each affects all the others.
Developing one chakra while neglecting others only creates an imbalance, weakening overall strength. The goal is to have all seven chakras open, balanced and integrated.
Other details
Every Sunday morning at the Tiffany Center
- 10:30 warmup, circle at 11, ends at 12:30
- Cost: $10, Kids welcome and free!

- Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.
Purpose
- Dharma Circles invite us to rest in the ease of the present moment.
Frosty leaves as non-dual teachings from the world’s wisdom traditions open into the spacious field of the heart. Reflection, silent sitting, and silent movement soften our boundaries and open awareness of our essential nature, nearer to us than our own breath.
- All contemplative practices and levels of experience (or no experience) are welcome.
The door is open at 6:45. At 7:00 pm we begin with dialogue and dharma reflection, followed by an hour of silent practice.
- Feel free to bring cushions, mats, or whatever is comfortable for your sitting practice (some cushions and chairs are provided).
Grounded in the heart, our actions grow from deep soil to yield fruits that enhance peace, justice, beauty, and balance in all that we do.
In a tumultuous world, maintaining a spacious heart requires attention, intention, and ever-deepening love.
Sangha or satsang is created anytime we are present with others for reflection or practice in the space of the heart, in service of truth. Sharing that intention, our dialogues invite us into reflection on our deepest Being, Mystery, Emptiness, the Beloved.
- Every faith or no faith are equally welcome here.
We embrace human nature just as it is, holy and broken, perfect and imperfect at the same time, and steep together in the timeless present moment, where definitions slip away.
Gathering in satsang, sangha, or a community of practice provides a rich common ground as we travel in the terrain of the Heart.

$5-$10 suggested donation (All are welcome)

Purpose
- Love road trips? Want to help hard-working Oregon students go to college? Then join our Action Day for Tuition Equity!
In case you are unfamiliar, Tuition Equity allows all long-time students who get into public universities in Oregon to pay in-state tuition regardless of their documentation.
We were able to schedule an informational hearing which is a pretty big deal (the bill itself is up in 2013), so it’d be HUGE to have you there. We’re a big-tent organization, so even if you don’t support the issue (or just wanna learn more) and you still want to come down to experience the hearing, you’re totally welcome.
- If you are in Portland and are keen for a ride to Salem, we are taking the BUSES!
Meet up at PSU at 12:30pm and should be back by 5:30pm.
- Otherwise, meet on Capitol steps at 2pm.
Also, if you are a student, you’d probably have to take time off of classes, but teachers are usually excited you’re doing stuff like this (as it makes you more civically engaged and such).
- Keep on rocking and we hope to see you on our buses!

Drawing on their 25-year experience of living in community, members of the Peace House will share ideas, resources and "hand holding" with those who would like to get started.
This is an exercise in mutual sharing. No one is an expert in how to live together in community, but together all can learn what is needed.
Bring your vision of what kind of community you want to live in and share it with us.
Together, we will work to bring that vision into reality.

Travel by foot, bike or car! We will provide the fliers you provide the fun. After an hour of fast flier activism (that means 10 o'clock) come back and hang out with Occupy friends at the local bar. What a great way to meet and socialize with awesome Occupy friends!
- Wednesday 2/8 9pm
- meet up at the Alleyway on NE 24th and Alberta. flier for one hour. meet back at the bar for fun social time!

1 hour of fliering with friends equals hours of fun with friends at the bar. It's a good equation.
Portland Action Lab will bring the fliers.
You bring the tape.

Chakra Dance

Purpose
- Each Sunday a special guest will guide us through a "Chakra Dance."
Among the best tools to evolve the spirit are the energy centers known as chakras. Chakra, an ancient sanskrit term meaning “wheel of light,” describes a complex human energy system of awareness.
The seven chakra centers are associated with specific areas of the physical body. Each chakra is equally important to our energy flow and vitality, and each affects all the others.
Developing one chakra while neglecting others only creates an imbalance, weakening overall strength. The goal is to have all seven chakras open, balanced and integrated.
