Oregon Rising is working with the International Migrants Alliance, the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition and others to organize a migrant defense rally and Portland caravan to the Tacoma Ice center on Labor Day (Sept 1st). This event will include a press conference to kick-off Oregon Rising. We're really excited that the first Oregon Rising event is focused on defending our immigrant friends, family members and neighbors and challenging the unconstitutional, illegal and cruel actions taken against them. 

Getting a huge crowd to the rally is important as is getting folks on buses and into carpools to join us in Tacoma (there is a link in the flyer to sign up for the trip to Tacoma). If you have friends or family who might be interested, talk to them! If you are part of a member organization, you can spread the word and bring your organization's people power to join in the action on Labor Day!  We're hoping to fill two free busses with 100 seats!

Hey PDX, got any Labor Day plans? Join us for a trip up to the ICE facility in Tacoma! Even if you can't ride with us, come in the morning to make art and join in the send-off party!

Three scientists standing on a freeway overpass bridge wearing labcoats. The labcoats are decorated with logos and messaging from Scientist Rebellion. One has their back to the camera and raised fist. Another wears a tshirt saying "Let Gaza Live" and is holding a sign that says "Starvation is a WAR CRIME - CHEVRON complicit in Genocide". Behind them on the chainlink fence is a Palestinian flag and a poster that says "together we have POWER, Boycott Chevron". You can also see the canvas back of a banner facing oncoming traffic that says BOYCOTT CHEVRON. Chevron supplies 70% of Israeli power, thus enabling the genocide of Palestinians (in addition to wrecking the climate). This banner in Portland OR was part of a day-long action involving anti-Chevron banners over Interstate 5 from California to Washington state.

Anyone catch our BOYCOTT CHEVRON banner hanging over I5 today in Portland? @srti.bsky.social & @xrpdx.bsky.social are there to spread the word that Chevron provides a majority of power to Israel and profits greatly from Palestinian genocide.

In the foreground is a large paper-mache salmon, behind it is a canopy with people crowded around for free cookies, and in the background is the World on Fire truck covered in signs. The signs read "No Kings in DC! No Troops on our streets" and "Extinction Rebellion"

Today's headlines are a stark reminder of a world driven mad by the power of the oil industry

30,000 air pollution deaths a year!

Even if it wasn't destroying our life support system, extending the fossil fuel age kills people and puts unnecessary pressure on the NHS

These decisions kill people

Environmental groups sue to stop controversial biofuel refinery on Columbia River The lawsuit seeks to reverse a key permit for the NEXT Renewable Fuels refinery along the Columbia River over concerns it could pollute the water and harm salmon and other fish.

Biofuels are a BS attempt to prolong a dead end business model:

"The proposed refinery also would use large volumes of fracked gas, a fossil fuel, in the production of renewable fuels, resulting in significant greenhouse gas emissions."

Still no confirmation that the Zenith resolution will be heard at next week's city council meeting.

If you're in D2, please reach out to Council President @councilorepg.bsky.social for confirmation that the council is going to take this issue seriously and not delay it with endless process.
