Shut Down the Corporations rally on Wednesday, February 29 in Portland

Common Cause Oregon is helping spread the word about a Shut Down the Corporations rally on Wednesday, February 29. One focus of this event is exposing the role of the American Legislative Exchange Council (or ALEC.)

Twenty-two firms on the "private enterprise board" of ALEC have given $370 million to state campaigns since 2001, including $16 million to Oregon candidates and measures according to analysis by Common Cause Oregon.

ALEC opposes federal and state environmental regulations, trade and public employee unions, state minimum wage laws, and federal health care reform.

Please come out to Waterfront Park (SW Naito and Ankeny) in downtown Portland on Wednesday, February 29 at 11:30am for a rally!
