SUMMARY:Portland City Council Mt Tabor Appeals Hearing
DESCRIPTION:*** MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!! ***  \nOn May 28th\, City Council will hear the Appeals Case for the Historic Landmarks Commission’s ruling regarding the Mt Tabor Disconnection Project. This meeting calls for a HUGE AMOUNT OF PUBLIC SUPPORT and passion to make our stance known! \nMay 28th – 2:00pm\nCity Council Chambers\n1221 SW 4th Ave\nPortland\, OR 97204 \n[Note – this is a change from the initially scheduled date of May 14th] \nAs many of your know\, the Historic Landmarks Commission’s (HLC) recent ruling regarding the Mt Tabor Disconnection Project was for Approval With Strong Conditions. https://www.facebook.com/events/1079908102035235/permalink/1086862968006415/\nThe more protections that are put in place to preserve Mt Tabor park and its reservoirs\, the greater the chances of reconnecting them for future use if/when the EPA changes its LT2 ruling in 2016.  \nThe Portland Water Bureau (PWB) has opted to appeal two of these conditions: \n1. Condition B – This condition states that\, following disconnection\, the reservoirs must continue to hold water within the normal historic operating range\, that they must be maintained and cleaned\, and that they can only be emptied (partially or fully) for brief periods of time not to exceed 60 days total (either consecutive or non-consecutive) within a calendar year. PWB is stating that this generous maximum of two months out of every year is operationally unworkable and that there should be no limit; they want it left entirely up to them to decide how often and how long they want to let the reservoirs sit without water.\n2. Condition E – This condition states that the City must fully implement the short- and long-term restorative recommendations contained in the May 2009 Mt Tabor Reservoirs Historic Structures Report. This work carries a rough price tag of $1.5 million in 2009 dollars\,

SUMMARY:Janus Picket & Housing March
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for your interest\, \nWorkers at Harry’s Mother (a youth shelter set up by Janus Youth Programs) are in the midst of wage negotiations. So far these talks have been quite difficult with workers facing layoffs which will translate to inadequate staffing patterns. Workers are additionally being presented with the prospect of only miniscule increases to already substandard wages. These programmatic changes and cutbacks will cause enormous difficulties for staff and youth being served. \nWorkers have effectively been presented with accepting even a miniscule wage increase or forgoing that in order to remain fully staffed. \nParallel to these struggles workers have watched\, not only recently but historically\, as the Executive Director takes thousands in base wage increases and bonuses annually. While we fully understand the difficulties of securing funding sources for non-profits we find this growing economic disparity to be rather troubling. \nMembers of the Industrial Workers of the World\, Portland Solidarity Network\, PDX 15 Now\, Jobs With Justice\, and Black Rose Federation will be gathering at the Janus Youth Programs office located at 707 NE Couch St\, Portland\, OR 97232 at 2:30-4:30 PM on Friday\, August 28th (8/28). \nProvided below is historical background to the previous struggles of Janus workers. While some in positions of power at this agency publicly note the mythology of Janus\, a Roman god signifying transition and doorways\, we remind them that a transition in treatment of workers is long overdue. \nWe hope to see you there. \nMajor Victory for Janus Workers March 21\, 2011\nhttp://portlandiww.org/2011/03/major-victory-for-janus-workers-and-the-portland-iww/ \nRegular updates as the 2011 action progressed:\nhttp://portlandiww.org/tag/janus-youth-programs/page/2/ \nA look back at Janus’ 2011 attempts to subdue worker power and deny wage increases:\nhttp://www.portlandmercury.com/BlogtownPDX/archives/2011/02/07/workers-picket-city-shelter-for-sex-trafficking-victims \n————————–— \nAfterwards\, folks will be invited out to My Father’s Place (523 SE Grand Ave\, Portland\, OR 97214)\, a nearby restaurant\, to recharge ourselves before taking part in Housing Rights For All Rally & March. We will meet at the 4th Street entrance to Portland’s City Hall in downtown at 6 PM. After hearing from some speakers\, we will march across the Hawthorne Bridge to the Multnomah County Building just on the other side\, where we will hold an assembly for individual stories\, group discussion\, and music making. \nThe event page for this action can be located here:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/881313648603046/ \nWe encourage those who can attend both events to do so! Come to all of them if you can! Lets take up the chants and the streets on this exciting day of action!

SUMMARY:#FloodTheSystem
DESCRIPTION:Fall 2015 – Flood\, blockade\, occupy and shut down the systems that jeopardize our future! \n–> www.floodthesystem.net <– \nStarting this September\, Rising Tide North America is calling for mass actions to shut down the economic and political systems threatening our survival. \nAlready\, hundreds of thousands are streaming into the streets to fight back against climate chaos\, capitalism and white supremacy. \nThis wave of resistance couldn’t be more urgent. To stop climate chaos we need a phenomenal escalation in organizing\, participation and tactical courage. We need a profound social transformation to uproot the institutions of capitalism\, colonialism\, patriarchy\, and white supremacy\, the systems that created the climate crisis. And we need to link arms with allies fighting for migrant justice\, dignified work and pay\, and an end to the criminalization and brutal policing of black and brown bodies. \nWe need to #FloodTheSystem. \nIn the lead up to the United Nations climate talks in Paris\, in December\, we will escalate local and regional resistance against systems that threaten our collective survival. Together\, we will open alternative paths to the failing negotiations of political elites. \nTo do this\, we are calling for individuals and groups to plan their own direct actions\, attend trainings and convene Action Councils to stream smaller efforts into a massive flood of resistance. \nThis is not another protest. It is a call for a massive economic and political intervention. It is a call to build the relationships needed to sustain our struggles for the long haul. To build popular power along the intersections of race\, class\, gender and ability. To collectively unleash our power and change everything. \n— \nGET INVOLVED \nSign up for updates here: http://www.FloodTheSystem.net/ \n#FloodTheSystem organizers are supporting the formation of local action councils that will organize actions relevant to their communities. If you want to start organizing or connect with a regional action council right away\, go here: http://www.FloodTheSystem.net/organize \nJoin us at the US Social Forums in San Jose\, CA and Philadelphia\, PA! \nJune 25-28th Philadelphia\, PA: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/914456505260452/ \nJune 24-28th San Jose\, CA: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/982762331764527/
