The Richest and most Powerful nation on Earth can afford to invest in America and provide effective Education, adequate Health Care,  and Jobs with Justice... so that our people can become productive and our nation can compete in the globally interconnected marketplace.  Instead, the richest of the rich... the 1%, waste precious resources bailing out criminals in the banking industry and financing corporate invasions, occupations and exploitation abroad. This is why there is an active movement for change in America. Occupy 2011 will continue.  As well it should.

Shutdown the Port on December 12th by david Posted on November 27, 2011 On December 12th, Occupy Portland will join cities including San Diego, Los Angeles, Oakland and Tacoma for a West Coast Port Shutdown .  We will stage mass mobilizations to march on the ports, create community pickets, and effectively shutdown the hubs of commerce.  This action will be in the same fashion of Occupy Oakland when they shut down the Port of Oakland on November 2nd on the day of their general strike. The Oakland Port Shutdown was a historic and effective action, and the memory of that night on the port lives in the hearts of people across Oakland and around the country.  Occupy Portland’s participation in this day of action was approved by the General Assembly on November 26th with near unanimous consent. We will blockade all of the West Coast Ports on December 12th in solidarity with longshoremen, port workers and truckers in their struggle against th...

Nov 17, 2011 at 8:00 AM   The Steel Bridge at 1 NE Oregon Street Portland, OR 97232 http://www.theporlandalliance.org/bridge On November 17th we declare an economic emergency for the 99%. The Steel Bridge, like so much of our infrastructure, is structurally deficient and in need of repair. This is work that needs doing, even while thousands in Portland are unemployed! Bridges like this one are symbols of politicians' failure to pass a jobs bill or do anything to help the 99%, while our infrastructure deteriorates and the richest 1% keep getting richer. On Nov 17th, we say enough is enough. This is part of a national day of action.
