The Portland Alliance

The Portland Alliance is a radical, underground newspaper which has been speaking  truth to power since 1981.  Throughout trials and tribulations, the newspaper was in print until June of 2011.   http://www.ThePortlandAlliance.org/ We have continued to publish online, but we need funds to repair or replace our old I-Mac and recover files or obtain Adobe Dreamweaver publishing software. Monthly printing costs were 500-3000 per month. https://youtu.be/L5jI9I03q8E?list=RDL5jI9I03q8E In these days when newspapers and nonprofits are struggling to survive, we hope to restore this progressive voice to the printed page.   We need creative alternatives to the corporate press now more than ever before.

Neither Hillary nor Trump will do. Lesser evilism predictably produces a pair of candidates each cycle who are both worse than was the more evil candidate last time. This cannot go on forever, and has already gone too far. We need a nonviolent movement to reform our election system — something not done through elections. But there are plenty of good candidates, such as Jill Stein, to check or write in. We should vote for those good candidates and get right back to work on improving the world.” This is the essence of the problem. Whichever of these two you were to vote for, you’d get wars, nasty policies toward immigrants, plutocratic policies toward wealth, and destructive policies toward the natural environment — barring the arising of a powerful popular movement to bring the government under control. We cannot continue unprovoked American aggression for profit. Everyday people are the only ones who can stop this insanity. We may not be in the ...
