Tea-partiers & Libertarians not on our side
A Republican campaign consultant who has done research on behalf of Charles and David Koch said of the Tea Party, “The Koch brothers gave the money that founded it.”

$15 minimum wage, Music, Theatre, USPS National Day of Action… and much more!
A $15 wage is unreasonable, insufficient and untenable. We can do better. 24-27 dollars an hour pays the rent.
“And if the minimum wage had simply tracked productivity gains since 1968, it would be $24-27 an hour — three times what it is now…”
Listen to our writers!
“What will it take to forge a cultural synthesis to liberate us from the yokes of oppression and guilt?”

We will mark the twenty-year anniversary of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), a pact that has had devastating consequencesfor people
and the environment in all three countries and beyond. The pendingTrans-
Pacific Partnership (TPP) has been described as “NAFTA on Steroids…” http://www.ThePortlandAlliance.org/tpp
PDX Mayor and City Council:The Usual Suspects
“Any sincere desire to reform PPB can only begin with the replacement of Chief Michael Reese. This hierarchical organization must be led though transition by a ‘culture change agent’ whose pay incentives are tied to performance improvements. Hales has retained the role of Police Commissioner in his portfolio. This audience of learned, fortunate people represented serious political clout, organized and prepared to address the denial of civil liberties. The failure to close the loop, to press the Mayor to abandon his position as PC if he will not dismiss the Chief who ran the bureau during tragic civil rights violations, missed the ‘teachable moment.’

Stop TPP, Fast Tract, and Unfair Trade!
This is a call to action for communities throughout Mexico, Canada and the United States to join together and say “ENOUGH!” to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the pending Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and other corporate “trade” deals. Actions elsewhere throughout the globe are also welcome.
