A MUST- ATTEND! Portland Rising Workers Forum: The Power of Coalition

The Portland Workers’ Assembly will be meeting again on April 12, 10 am to 12 noon, at the Portland Association of Teachers Hall (345 NE 8^th Street).

We will be building on the work of the March meeting, which focused on the Minneapolis labor-community organizing experience.  But don’t worry if you didn’t make that meeting—we will start the April meeting with a review of key takeaways from that experience before turning our focus to Portland and how we can move our own labor-community organizing efforts forward.  

We encourage you to RSVP; it makes planning easier: bit.ly/portland-rising
