Portland City Hall, 1221 SW 4th

JwJ decided to pass on this important message from our friends at Occupy Portland: 50 Day Anniversary of Cameron Whitten's Hunger Strike at City Hall- http://www.facebook.com/events/317651364992402/

@ 5:30 PM- We will be linking arms around City Hall to sing a song of Unity.


Lack of Affordable Housing is a State of Emergency!

There are an estimated 2,000 People sleeping on the streets on an average night in Portland.

There are an estimated 5,000 who experience homelessness, whether in shelters, couch surfing, sleeping in cars, in transitional housing, or etc.

Join us as we assemble to demonstrate our support of creating a more expansive plan to provide livable options for People of all income levels in Portland.

Check out the dialogue happening in others parts of the nation!
