Both are reason for radical, systemic change.
Neither will change without a people's movement.

In June 2010, people from around the Americas will assemble in Detroit for the US Social Forum. In order to prepare, activists living near Portland are gathering together for a People's Movement Assembly on Saturday, May 8th. This local gathering will:
- Bring people together in an effort to promote collaboration and collective action between different struggles,
- Identify some of our common solutions to the economic and ecological crisis that we are facing today,
- Provide structure to discussions about what we want represented in Detroit at the larger Forum.
We need YOU! At the People's Movement Assembly in Portland we hope to have a broad representation of grassroots-committed, people-driven groups helping to create a list of proposed resolutions for the larger national movement to consider, incorporate and activate. Will you be there?
