"People and Nature Before Profits! We're a working collective of socialists, communists, and independent leftists in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Yes, it is bread we fight for -- but we fight for roses, too " Save the the US Postal Service! May 24, 2012; Portland, Oregon Action Community Action: Occupy the Post Office Rally and March Thurs, May 24 , 5 pm, Terry Shrunk Plaza SW 3 rd and Madison (Portland, Oregon) Our public postal service is under attack with the Postmaster General poised to close 500 rural post offices while reducing hours from 25% to 75% at 13,000 rural post offices. On the chopping block are a number of urban post offices, mail handling lefts and Saturday delivery. This is an example of shrinking public services so that they can “be drowned in the bat

Donate to Save Alternative Media! We need your help! Last year the Portland Alliance published 5 print issues and 2 online issues . We upgraded online resources and Free Geek provided a nine server network base for the newspaper and nonprofit. We've been at 5926 N. Albina Avenue for one year, but now must move due to a rent increase and are actively looking for a new place. We have to be out by July 18th. This may be a fortunate move if we can find at least a 600 square foot place for the Alliance.  Even during these hard times , the Alliance endorsed Occupy last August and continues to support the 99% movement. We brought Greg Palast to town, sponsored the Human Rights Film Festival , assisted with MayDay , and have continued to help produce Labor Radio while working closely with Jobs with Justice . We promote Laughing Horse Books, PCASC , Voz , B-Media, and many other members of the Alliance Progressive Directory . We still have multiple writers , seven

The Portland Alliance has been struggling. But last year we published 5 print issues and 2 online issues . We upgraded our online resources through the efforts of dedicated volunteers. And thanks to Free Geek, we now have a nine server network base for the newspaper and nonprofit. In the past ten days we were hit with a triple whammy . Our production computer and data computers are in the shop. We've been at 5926 N. Albina Avenue for one year, but now must move due to a rent increase and are actively looking for a new place. We have to be out by June 4th. This may be a fortunate move if we can find at least a 600 square foot place for around 600 dollars. This will lower our overhead and allow us to more easily create, publish, and mail our next issue. Even during these hard times , the Alliance endorsed Occupy last August and continues to support the 99% movement. We brought Greg Palast to town, sponsored the Human Rights Film Festival , assisted with MayDay , and have co
