Purpose

Fun Flash F29 Fliering RETURNS! 9pm every Wednesday in February! Coming to a neighborhood near you!

Fun. F29. Beer (or not beer). Friends in your neighborhood.

Here's the deal, in case you missed the fun: meet up at 9pm with a roll of tape, staple gun, or paste and group up for a fun hour of flash flier mobbing Portland with F29 fliers. 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!
Wednesday 2/15 9pm
meet up at Yamhill Pub on SW 2nd and Morrison. flier for one hour. meet back at the bar for fun social time!
Wednesday 2/22 9pm
meet up at The Vern (Hanigan's) on SE 26th and Belmont. flier for one hour. meet back at the bar for fun social time!
Last week's flier mob put up 1000+ fliers in just one hour!

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.

We all bring the fun.

bring a non-twerp with you to get them on twitter (if they want) and teach them how to use it.

The ONLY purpose of this event is to celebrate our hard work and achievements over the last few months and to get to know our fellow occupiers in a fun and relaxed environment. AND- to introduce more activists to twitter. ♥

I love you all, and hope very much that you'll make plans to be there! :D

Non-tweeters are welcome of course- though as a modern revolutionary, I highly recommend that you get a twitter account! It is a very useful tool!
    • Not approved by GA- organized by an individual who simply wants to meet some awesome people with similar interests. It is my understanding that such an event doesn't need GA approval, since it is meerly social and not representative of the Occupy Portland group or movement.**

Ms. Chap will be joined by readings by local scribes such as Smitty Buckler, Cooper Lee Bombardier, and other special guests.

Sabrina Chap's got classical piano skills, the ballad lyrics of Tom Waits, the onstage antics of Phyllis Diller and the voice of a whiskey angel. Her sets are a ragtime stompin' good time, full of laughs, heartbreaks, and just plain good songwriting.

A classical pianist since the age of 5, Sabrina initially came to songwriting once she picked up her first guitar in college. Her first album, Bedroom Sessions, is a collection of folk songs written exclusively on guitar and recorded in her bedroom using Garageband." from www.sabrinachap.com

Refreshments and Appetizers will be available.

Inlaws & Outlaws cleverly weaves together the true stories of couples and singles— both gay and straight — and all into a collective narrative that is as hilarious as it is heartbreaking. http://www.inlawsandoutlawsfilm.com/

The Living Room is a 501(c)3 non-profit that provides a safe haven for LGBTQQ youth in Clackamas County. LGBTQQ youth in rural communities sometimes face different challenges than those in urban environments: education around LGBTQQ issues is less available and support from school administrations can be non-existent.

Chakra Dance

[improve]

  • Date: Every Sunday
  • Time: 10:30am until 12:30pm

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.

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)

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.

Join us in Portland, home to dozens of ALEC corporate members, as we shut them down!

In an effort to put food in hungry bellies, we will be gathering at all exits of the Rose Garden after the Blazer/Laker game and asking people to donate their FREE CHALUPA coupons, which we will then donate to homeless outreach programs.

20,000 people per night go to Blazer games if we only collect 10% of the possible stubs we still get 2,000 free chalupas there are 2,000 people sleeping on the streets of Portland every night.

Events like this won't cure hunger, but it will be putting a finger in a leaky dam and raise awareness about the problem in general.

WE WILL BE DOING THIS AT EVERY BLAZER HOME GAME

Hopefully with our new uptempo offense we will hit chalupas every night!

MAN'S BEST FRIEND IS NOT THE BIG BANKS!

This is a creative and PEACEFUL protest to draw positive media attention to our cause.

Who could talk badly about a bunch of God's most loyal creatures?

We will be meeting at the corner of 37th and Hawthorne, and protesting in front of all 3 banks in the immediate area...

Although you are welcome to protest wherever is convenient and oppressive.

This is a creative way to involve all of our friends who still want to participate in the Occupy movement but don't necessarily want to go downtown. We are showing that the Occupation is more than just downtown.

We also hope that this kind of event will inspire creativity within the ranks of the Occupiers.

So please join us. I'll bring the dog treats and you guys bring the creative dog signs...



Other details
This event is held in solidarity with the Occupy Portland movement.
