Just one hour away in Longview, WA, the 1% is making an historic grab to break the labor movement. EGT has broken the 80-year-long standing agreement with ILWU, a union well known for its role in supporting the struggles of 99%.Join Occupy Portland, Occupy Oakland, Occupy Longview, and a growing number of unions and organizations in mobilizing to Longview as soon as we receive the call for solidarity. This is a massive mobilization and all eyes are on us in Portland to help provide housing and transportation for supporters from as far away as Florida!Help spread the word far and wide. We've attached the LIUNA Laborers 483 Resolution as a sample resolution in support of this action. The online caravan sign up form (link above and below) will help us count our numbers and organize our emergency mobilization plan.Our next planning meeting is on Saturday, 1/21 @6pm at the SEIU 503 Hall, 6401 SE Foster Rd.More links to get involved:See you in Longview!-Occupy Portland Labor Solidarity Committeesolâ—iâ—darâ—iâ—tyDefinition of SOLIDARITY: unity (as of a group or class) that produces or is based on community of interests, objectives, and standards.

- Description3 generations ago it was acceptable that women couldn't vote. 2 generations ago it was acceptable that people were divided on a bus by the color of their skin.
Today in the U.S. it is acceptable that the lack of insurance leads to 45,000 unnecessary deaths each year and ...that 60% of all bankruptcies that filed are due to the inability to pay outrageous medical bills. Today, the U.S. is the only industrialized nation that does not have a Universal Healthcare System. Bring your questions to this teach-in or just listen to Dr. Paul Gorman and guests discuss Healthcare in the U.S and in other nations. See More

Where900 SW 5th Ave, Portland, OR
DescriptionOn November 17th, 9 members of PCASC were arrested for standing in opposition to Wells Fargo's investment in private prisons.
Wells Fargo invests in private prison companys GEO Group and Corrections Corporation of America (CCA). These companies fund the writing & passing... of racist and oppressive laws which criminalize communities of color in order to fill their prisons for maximized profit.
On January 24th we return to Wells Fargo to demand the divestment of stock in private prisons. It's a national day of action against Wells Fargo.
Join us along with other community organizations as we stand against Wells Fargo's racist investments.
We'll be meeting at the Standard Insurance Building at 900 SW 5th Ave at 12pm til 2pm.
The National Prison Industry Divestment Campaign is working to expose the profiteering of Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) and the GEO Group, the biggest private prison companies in the US, who are making millions off the separation and incarceration of immigrants and communities of color at the expense of our tax dollars. We are calling on all prison shareholders to divest from the prison industry.
End the deportations and the raids!
Abolish All Prisons!
Legalization Now!
