Current Events

Occupy City Hall

[improve]

  • Date: Monday, November 14
  • Time: 1:00pm - 4:00pm
  • Location: City Hall 1221 SW 4th Ave # 110 Portland
  • Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.

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.

LEARN HOW PROPOSED DIRTY COAL EXPORTS WILL AFFECT YOUR COMMUNITY, AND HOW YOU CAN HELP PREVENT IT.

Oregon & Washington states are ending our reliance on coal by committing to close our last coal plants. But now Big Coal is threatening to export tens of millions of tons of coal through our states to foreign markets. If they have their way, dirty and dangerous coal would jeopardize our health, safety, and economy in our communities.

Join us to learn more about: • Big Coals’ plans for the Northwest • Health & safety impacts • Economic impacts Free event!

Walk of Awareness

[improve]

Purpose

On Tuesday, November 15, 2011, faith communities throughout Portland and Multnomah County will observe the second annual “Interfaith Day of Homelessness Awareness.” This year’s Day of Homelessness Awareness will focus on three concrete actions that people of faith can take to help end homelessness: Donate/Volunteer/Advocate. The Day of Homelessness Awareness will include a “Walk of Awareness” on November 15, starting at 7 am at the Downtown Chapel Roman Catholic Parish, and ending at the 13 Salmon Family Day Center at First Unitarian Church. Stops along the way will include the newly-opened Bud Clark Commons. Reflections by spiritual leaders, stories about homelessness and comments by civic leaders on what is being done to address the three “faces” of homelessness—adults, youth, and families--will take place along the walk. Participants will also hear specific calls to action they can take to get more deeply involved in addressing homelessness.

The Day of Homelessness Awareness is jointly organized by Multnomah County and the City of Portland with the New City Initiative at JOIN. Faith partnerships include Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, Albina Ministerial Alliance, the Oregon Board of Rabbis, and the Muslim Educational Trust. For more information, including a map of the “Walk of Awareness” route, visit the Join PDX website

Move City Money Local!

[improve]

Purpose

Take the Bank Transfer Day concept to City Hall! Help convince local leaders to move Portland's money out of the Wall Street banks and bring it home. In the long term a Municipal or State Bank might be the best institution, in the meantime: why not a credit union or local community bank?

Other details
Todd Olson of Oregon Move Our Money will address the City Council with the following demands:

  1. That they immediately move as much of the city's money as possible out of Wells Fargo and Bank of America and into local credit unions and banks who serve the interests of the 99%;
  2. That they direct the city's chief financial officer to publish a summary of the city's current and projected cash deposits, debts, and contracts with all banks and financial institutions as soon as possible;
  3. That they schedule a public hearing as soon as possible to address questions and hear proposals regarding the city's banking relationships and policies.

This will be a fun, positive action, and all the rest of us have to do is show up!

  • 9AM - Meetup at City Hall
  • 9:30AM - City Council Meeting
  • 10-10:30AM - Victory!
  • ACTION: Very Important! Council hearing on police oversight, Wed. 11/16, 2 PM Please plan on attending!

The event will surely attract media attention and put the city council on the spot. Pundits and politicians have been asking for demands from the Occupy movement so let's give them one. ( Note: No signs bigger than an 8.5x11 are likely to be allowed in the chambers. Small signs, Occupy and 99% t-shirts, buttons, etc. are encouraged but not necessary. Just being there is enough! )
