SUMMARY:March Against Monsanto PDX 2015
DESCRIPTION:The theme for this year’s march is “Food for Justice”\, seeking the intersectionality of social and environmental justice in a food system that benefits the 1%. \nWhy do we march? \n*Research studies have shown that Monsanto’s genetically-modified foods can lead to serious health conditions such as the development of cancer tumors\, infertility and birth defects.\n*In the United States\, the FDA\, the agency tasked with ensuring food safety for the population\, is steered by ex-Monsanto executives\, and we feel that’s a questionable conflict of interests and explains the lack of government-lead research on the long-term effects of GMO products.\n*Recently\, the U.S. Congress and president collectively passed the nicknamed “Monsanto Protection Act” that\, among other things\, bans courts from halting the sale of Monsanto’s genetically-modified seeds.\n*For too long\, Monsanto has been the benefactor of corporate subsidies and political favoritism. Organic and small farmers suffer losses while Monsanto continues to forge its monopoly over the world’s food supply\, including exclusive patenting rights over seeds and genetic makeup.\n*Monsanto’s GMO seeds are harmful to the environment; for example\, scientists have indicated they have caused colony collapse among the world’s bee population. \nWhat are solutions we advocate?? \n*Voting with your dollar by buying organic and boycotting Monsanto-owned companies that use GMOs in their products.\n*Labeling of GMOs so that consumers can make those informed decisions easier.\n*Repealing relevant provisions of the US’s “Monsanto Protection Act.”\n*Calling for further scientific research on the health effects of GMOs.\n*Holding Monsanto executives and Monsanto-supporting politicians accountable through direct communication\, grassroots journalism\, social media\, etc.\n*Continuing to inform the public about Monsanto’s secrets.\n*Taking to the streets to show the world and Monsanto that we won’t take these injustices quietly. \nWe will not stand for cronyism. We will not stand for poison. That’s why we March Against Monsanto

SUMMARY:#YouShellNotPass Day of Mass Nonviolent Direct Action!
DESCRIPTION:WHEN: May 18; Meet @ 7 AM\nWHERE: Duwamish River Fishing Dock (On Harbor Island parallel to Spokane Street)\nWHAT: A day of mass nonviolent direct action + rally.\nWHO: You!\nWHY: To stop Arctic drilling and take a stand against companies like Shell who profit from climate chaos. \nMeet at the Duwamish Fishing Dock at 7:00 – it’s a small boardwalk along Spokane Street on the east side of Harbor Island. We will have a very brief program and then march to Shell’s rigs and nonviolently shut down operations for the day.  \nPARKING: There is parking under the West Seattle Bridge\, and off of Marginal Way in West Seattle. Alternatively you could park on Harbor Ave SW in West Seattle or in SODO and walk to the meet-up site. \nWe encourage as many people as possible to prepare and train for nonviolent action. Trainings the week of the action will be posted here: https://shellno.org/trainings.php \nTake the pledge of resistance at http://shellno.org/ and learn more about who we are and how you can get involved! Don’t live in Seattle\, but want to come? Don’t worry\, we’ve got you covered there too! You’ll find all the information you need on our website. \n#YouShellNotPass\nOn January 8\, we learned that Shell will be hosting their Arctic drilling rigs in Terminal 5 of the Port of Seattle. That same day the journal Nature published an article saying that Arctic oil MUST be left in the ground in order to avoid catastrophic climate change. Drilling for Arctic oil is an open attack on people in the global south\, who are already losing communities to rising seas and extreme weather. It could also spell disaster for one of the most unique wilderness areas on the planet and all of its inhabitants. \nShell’s rigs will arrive as we mark the five-year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. We need a massive peaceful resistance to confront Shell\, and the systems of colonialism\, racism\, and capitalism that drive climate chaos. \nFrom May 16 to May 18\, join us in Seattle for three days of creative\, people-powered resistance to Shell and the climate crisis. We will converge on the Seattle waterfront by land and sea\, transforming Terminal 5 and Harbor Island into a festival of resistance that will nonviolently block Shell’s preparations for Arctic drilling. \nWhile we confront Shell\, we stand in solidarity with indigenous peoples and people of color who endure the brunt of extraction and climate chaos. \nWe will unite in creative action\, including a mass water-based blockade\, and an event focused on working to honor our connections with this beautiful and complex planet. These events will build to a day of Mass Direct Action on Monday\, May 18\, when we will use nonviolent action to SHUT DOWN SHELL and all operations related to their Arctic expedition. \nShell’s drilling rigs are a prime example of the root causes and injustice of the climate crisis. They will generate untold wealth for the few\, while wrecking the climate for everyone\, trampling on indigenous rights\, and causing millions of deaths in the global south. \nFifteen years after the WTO protests\, we will remind the world that corporations like Shell that abuse human\, environmental\, and labor rights are not welcome in Seattle. We are fighting for a world where we can all provide for our families without risking our health\, planet\, or future generations. \nThe fossil fuel economy of exploitation is over. A new world is within our reach. Rise up. Resist. Join us in Seattle!

SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Hand That Feeds
DESCRIPTION:15 Now PDX and Socialist Alternative Portland are thrilled to be hosting the first Pacific Northwest screening of the award winning film\, “The Hand That Feeds\,” at Portland’s historic Clinton Street Theater. Sponsored by KBOO Community Radio.  \nDoors open at 6:30 p.m.\n$5-10 sliding scale at the door\, no one will be turned away on account of money. \nAbout the film:\n“At a popular bakery café\, residents of New York’s Upper East Side get bagels and coffee served with a smile 24 hours a day. But behind the scenes\, undocumented immigrant workers face sub-legal wages\, dangerous machinery\, and abusive managers who will fire them for calling in sick. Mild-mannered sandwich maker Mahoma López has never been interested in politics\, but in January 2012\, he convinces a small group of his co-workers to fight back. \nRisking deportation and the loss of their livelihood\, the workers team up with a diverse crew of innovative young organizers and take the unusual step of forming their own independent union\, launching themselves on a journey that will test the limits of their resolve. In one roller-coaster year\, they must overcome a shocking betrayal and a two-month lockout. Lawyers will battle in back rooms\, Occupy Wall Street protesters will take over the restaurant\, and a picket line will divide the neighborhood. If they can win a contract\, it will set a historic precedent for low-wage workers across the country. But whatever happens\, Mahoma and his coworkers will never be exploited again.” \nAfter the film we will have a discussion with local low-wage workers and organizers who are fighting for a $15 minimum wage.  \nDon’t miss out on this great film! One showing only in Portland! \nhttp://thehandthatfeedsfilm.com/ \nhttp://cstpdx.com/show/socialist-alternative-and-15nowpdx-present-hand-feeds

SUMMARY:BikeLoudPDX Die-In to protest ODOT's deadly Portland arterials
DESCRIPTION:A follow-up to Monday’s protest of the danger of Powell Blvd\, highlighted most recently by the crash that took off Alistair Corkett’s leg.\nMonday’s protest:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1057435414283935/  \nProtest on SE Powell slows traffic\, draws big crowd \n \nThe Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is the agency almost completely responsible for the conditions on Powell Blvd. and the other Portland state highways (e.g. Barbur Blvd.\, 82nd Ave.) It has consistently refused to prioritize safety\, prioritizing motor vehicle capacity instead.  \nThis is why we are organizing a “Die-in!” at ODOT Region 1 headquarters downtown. We will show the deadly consequences of ODOT’s priorities by acting as the dead and wounded victims of crashes on Powell Blvd. Please bring a white shirt that you are willing to have stains on if you are able; we will bring fake blood! \nMore info about ODOT:\nWe believe ODOT\, with its focus on auto capacity and transport between cities\, is the wrong agency to control arterials within cities.  \nODOT has consistently prioritized auto capacity over lives. This is why 26th Ave. does not have a left-turn signal at Powell\, which would have prevented this accident. In the past\, ODOT refused to put in a left-turn signal because it would slow down cars on Powell. How many limbs and lives does it take to be worth a few seconds or minutes? \nThe problems on Powell are not isolated to the area around 26th. Indeed\, Powell is more neglected and deadly in East Portland. There are no sidewalks on Powell in the vast majority of its length past I-205. Marked crosswalks are few and far between. \nThis is why are calling on the state legislature to pass a bill to transfer Powell and the other urban state highways in Portland to the control of the City of Portland. We are also calling on ODOT to prioritize funding to bring Powell and the other urban state highways up to standards minimally sufficient for city life (sidewalks and crosswalks would be a good start). The City’s Bureau of Transportation\, though not perfect\, is at least more directly responsive to local safety concerns than ODOT. \nThis protest organized by BikeLoudPDX (Monday’s was not – though awesome!)

SUMMARY:Nestle Public Comment Town Hall Hosted by Rep. Nosse
DESCRIPTION:Many constituents have contacted Rep. Nosse’s office regarding the proposed Nestle Bottled Water Plant in Cascade Locks\, expressing a number of concerns about it. Rep. Nosse understands the importance of protecting our public water\, which is one of our most valued resources. At the request of many constituents he has written a letter to the ODFW Director expressing the many concerns of people in his district\, but he knows that folks in SE Portland have many additional questions & concerns. \nThe Oregon Water Resources Department has regulatory authority over water rights transfers and is the state agency that will approve or deny these applications. OWRD’s public comment period on the project extends through May 14th\, and Rep. Nosse understands that many busy working families don’t have time to find out how to submit comment to state agencies.  \nTo make things convenient for his constituents\, Rep. Nosse is holding an event on Saturday\, 5/9/15 from 11am-1pm at SEIU Local 49 (3536 SE 26th Ave\, Portland\, OR 97202).  \nParking will be available\, but we encourage using public transportation if at all possible. Information on the proposed plant will be available\, as well as laptop stations and paper forms so people can easily & conveniently make their voice heard. The Nosse office & additional volunteers will also be available to take down folks’ input in greater detail for OWRD. \nProtecting Oregon’s natural resources is a priority for Rep. Nosse\, and he is always happy to provide resources for his constituents and to make having your voice heard in Salem as easy as possible.  \nIf you have any additional questions please don’t hesitate to contact the Nosse office at: rep.robnosse@state.or.us or (503) 453-0868.
