I suggest folks watch the half dozen 1 min video trailers to this film.
This looks like a powerful presentation by young homeless folks in their own words.

Start the Valentine weekend off right and show our mayor how much we "heart" him. Let's ask our mayor Charlie Hales to return the love by honoring his pledge of a fossil free future for Portland. 
Joe Anybody Resources  http://www.ThePortlandAlliance.org/anybody

We'll remind him that on June 5, 2013, World Environment Day, he declared, "The City must urge the Oregon State Treasurer, the Local Government Investment Pool, and the Oregon Investment Council to divest of all state holdings in fossil fuel."

Joe Anybody has uploaded The International Day Against Police Brutality Protest March in Portland Oregon 3.15.14 by FTP
Joe Anybody

On 9.2.13 when Joe Walsh (aka The Lone Vet) went to visit his Oregon Senator (Merkley) at the World Trade Center Plaza in Portland Oregon, he was stopped and denied access to the Senator Office. He was told to make an appointment by the lobby security. Joe recently had a friend tell him the same thing happened to her when she came to Sen. Merkley's office, and that being verified, he sat down in the lobby and demanded a meeting "today" with the Senator or his office staff. Joe knew it is not constitutionally legal nor right to hide from your constituents as they were doing. A few minutes later a staff member came down from the office, to the lobby, and offered to talk with Joe in the conference room adjacent to where The Lone Vet was sitting. Joe accepts and goes to the meeting. This video was filmed by Joe Freedom on Ustream

Why is there no door on the Mens Rest Room in Lonsdale Park in Portland Oregon?
On 7.22.13 a houseless activist protester is handcuffed, to a tree as he brings to light the human rights and dignity / equity issue of the "No door on the Mens Rest Room" in the park by city hall. Oddly there is total silence by the Park Rangers. I suspect they know its wrong but do not want to say nor be involved? What will be interesting is "who is pushing for this to issue to stay as it is (sick) or who will make the change for what is right so that all citizens are treated equal and with respect and dignity when it comes to using a public restroom in one of our cities park!?

There was no aggression or show of force during Portland's march on May Day 2013 and no arrests were made at. At the same time in Seattle the police there were throwing flash bang grenades at protestors who blockaded Seattle's city streets with overturned newspaper racks and trash cans, temporarily bringing the machine to a halt.

The Northwest Film Center announces:

The Free Premiere Screening of

"Project Viewfinder"

May 1, 2013 @ 6PM - In the Whitsell Auditorium, located in the Portland Art Museum.

May Day Evening - come see these videos after the march -


PROJECT VIEWFINDER began in January 2013 after the Film Center sought out young adults transitioning from homelessness to self-sufficiency that were interested in learning media production techniques. Working three days per week and led by School of Film lead faculty member Bushra Azzouz and supporting filmmakers, the project empowers participants to tell their stories using the medium of film. PROJECT VIEWFINDER is endeavoring to engage the Film Center's School of Film with underserved members of our community, seeking to enact change on a direct level.



"I appreciate that Project Viewfinder could see us, the homeless, and say, 'We see value in these youth, right here in our own city.'" says participant Antwoine Thomas. "I want the world to hear the message I have to relay and hopefully consider it."



The evening will consist of short films, made by the participants, about the myths and realities of homelessness along with interviews and footage of their experiences and struggles. The event will begin with a 5pm reception celebrating the accomplishments of the filmmakers. The films will be followed by a Q&A with the participants.



This project was inspired by the uplifting story of Hazel Malone, a School of Film student who, mentored by our faculty, turned her life around from one of homelessness to one of hope, joy, and creativity. Her story was first told last year in a short film made for the Film Center's 40th Anniversary Gala. (80 mins.)

U.S. politicians have cried wolf over austerity long enough for the public to ignore them. A perfect time, then, for politicians to actually unleash the wolves. Barring an unlikely last minute deal, here's a short list of some of the massive, national bi-partisan-created austerity cuts, according to the New York Times. 
- 600,000 food stamp recipients will be cut from the program 
- Massive education cuts. According to President Obama: Once these cuts take effect thousands of teachers and educators will be laid off and tens of thousands of parents will have to scramble to find child care for their kids. " 
- $12 billion in Medicare cuts (more to come after 2013) 
- Federal funds to state governments will be cut, creating even more deficits for states and municipalities, and thus more localized cuts (the states have already made austerity cuts of $337 billion!) 
- Also, 700,000 jobs are expected to be loss, while 70,000 kids are also expected to be kicked off of Head Start 

And this is just for 2013. The current plan for the austerity "sequester" cuts is $100 billion of federal cuts every year for ten years, equaling massive cuts to jobs, Medicare, education, and completely destroying federally funded social programs. 

Will it actually happen this time?  The Solution is for the Richest of the Rich to pay their fair share,
then the fiscal cliff will disappear, no cuts will be necessary, social programs will remain intact, and
we can face the future with courage, determination, and a framework for success.:

Austerity USA Begins March 1st

U.S. politicians have cried wolf over austerity long enough for the public to ignore them. A perfect time, then, for politicians to actually unleash the wolves. Barring an unlikely last minute deal, here's a short list of some of the massive, national bi-partisan-created austerity cuts, according to the New York Times.
- 600,000 food stamp recipients will be cut from the program 
- Massive education cuts. According to President Obama: Once these cuts take effect thousands of teachers and educators will be laid off and tens of thousands of parents will have to scramble to find child care for their kids. " 
- $12 billion in Medicare cuts (more to come after 2013) 
- Federal funds to state governments will be cut, creating even more deficits for states and municipalities, and thus more localized cuts (the states have already made austerity cuts of $337 billion!) 
- Also, 700,000 jobs are expected to be loss, while 70,000 kids are also expected to be kicked off of Head Start 

And this is just for 2013. The current plan for the austerity "sequester" cuts is $100 billion of federal cuts every year for ten years, equaling massive cuts to jobs, Medicare, education, and completely destroying federally funded social programs. 

Will it actually happen this time? The New York Times reports: 

In private, Capitol Hill staff members and members of Congress have admitted that there are no viable plans on the horizon to delay or offset the cuts. 

The finger pointing in Washington, D.C. has already reached a crescendo, with the perverted logic being that, if both parties are to blame, it's really no one's fault. In reality Democrats and Republicans created these "sequester" cuts, and they can just as easily undo them with a snap of the finger. 

Both parties are choosing not to delete the cuts. They just don't want political responsibility for the fallout, which many economists have predicted will push the U.S. economy over the edge into official recession. 

Obama has predictably blamed the Republicans for this mess, even though he personally began this process by creating the "deficit reduction commission" that helped shape the cuts (keep in mind there is zero debt crisis that calls for such drastic measures). 

Obama could also just as easily appeal to the American public — over the heads of congressmen — to demand that the cuts be shelved forever. Instead, he's proposing a "grand bargain" deal that he knows the Republicans won't go for. 

What's in Obama's grand bargain deal? According to the White House website: 

- $130 billion in "savings" [cuts] to Social Security, by implementing a "superlative CPI" 
- $35 billion in "savings" [cuts] to the retirement of federal employees 
- $400 billion in health care "savings" [cuts], much of it Medicare cuts. 

...

If Labor and community groups united in a demand of 'No Cuts, Tax the Rich' and organized massive mobilizations, there would be a very different public debate happening right now. It's not too late for these groups to tear themselves from the jaws of their attackers.

Unpermitted March does not mean the police can now hurt the people for public safety.
http://www.theportlandalliance.org/cooke

This is a video with clips taken from the recent 2.14.13 unpermitted One Billion Rising March in Portland. The police treated the unpermitted marchers peacefully and with respect. (this time)

In contrast: There are out-takes added from May Day 2012 and from the N3 Austerity march in 2012, both unpermitted marches, where folks who were protesting were then pepper-sprayed, blocked and tackled by the police. [while in the street trying to march]

There is also a short out-take from 2008 when the police took my camera, whereupon I filed a lawsuit and changed the policy regarding filming the police in public.  I got my camera back, plus $3,000 in lawyer fees and a token 100 bucks for my trouble.

The point of this video is to highlight the peaceful marches along with those where there has been an uncalled for resort to violence orchestrated by the police, which usually is "justified" by them and the corporate press: using words like public safety, anarchists  being involved, etc. The video from Veterans Day highlights the "A" word concerns expressed by Officer Friendly, inches from my face.  Th police were there, for the possible unpermitted Veterans march which did not occur.

The money paid for police services related to unpermitted marches could be used for better things, especially considering the lawsuits and off-shift salaries, including OT pay. Rather than wasting this time in using violent tactics which risk "public safety," everyday people  want better policing. The citizens do not want anyone hurt. When police hurt and threaten demonstrators exercising their constitutional rights, there is no need for this sort of violence at non-violent public demonstrations that don't have a permit. The violence must stop.

VIDEO: OWS Anniversary & Solidarity With Colombian GM Workers Rally/March

Though its hard to believe, it's been one year since the initial OWS Occupation started a mass movement of the people. At one time, we had the largest of them all here in Portland. Occupiers took to the street in unison with injured and fired Colombian workers who have been exploited by GM and are now in 412 days of Occupying, sewing their mouths shut in a hunger strike.
Report-Back

On 9/17, Occupy Portland and many other local organizations such as PCASC, Witness For Peace and Portland Jobs With Justice joined forces to rally and march in solidarity with Colombian workers who are in a hunger strike and have been fired from their jobs in a General Motors affiliated manufacturing plant after recieving injuries which occured on the job. This day was also chosen as it is the one year anniversary of the Occupy movement which has helped create an outlet for upset Americans to voice their frustrations. A crowd of about 200 people were present for this action and it made its way to a Chevy dealership where protesters delivered a memo to be given to GM headquarters. The peaceful march and celebration ended in St. Francis Park, part of St. Francis Church, where Occupy Portland now operates.
