Registration Now Open for Toxic Roots of the Silicon Forest!

In collaboration with CHIPS Communities United, Portland Jobs with Justice will be hosting Toxic Roots of the Silicon Forest: People, Power, and Pollution in the Semiconductor Industry on June 3rd and 4th! Hear from semiconductor workers, community leaders, and environmental organizers on the impact of semiconductor manufacturing in our backyard and the far-reaching influence of this industry.

If you’re fired up about the rapid expansion of data centers creating short-term solutions for workers while harming our environment or Big Tech expecting our taxpayer dollars to fund their land grabs while they lay off our neighbors, this is for you!

Join us on June 3rd for a welcome reception and a screening of Colorless, Odorless, a documentary by Korean director Eunhee Lee, illuminating the experiences of Taiwanese and Korean workers in semiconductor manufacturing’s clean rooms, and on June 4th for the Toxic Roots of the Silicon Forest conference!

Conference: 9:00 AM-6:00 PM* on Thursday, June 4, 2026 at PSU
