Join Portland area organizations demanding higher wages, agitating to raise the minimum wage, fghting

wage-theft, building worker power, campaigning against stolen security deposits and slumlords, for a
forum on the realities and struggles of the working class and poor peoples of the region!
Following forty years of stagnating wages, rising rents, precarious
employment and an unprecedented economic crisis, $15 Now PDX,
High $5 PDX, Portland Solidarity Network, and Voz Workers Rights
Education Project are necessary initiatives for developing a
movement seeking solutions to these crises and problems.
Short talks on the conditions and composition of the working class
and poor peoples of the Portland region will be followed by a panel
of organizers speaking to the endeavors of each initiative.
Discussion and opportunities to support and directly participate
in this organizing will conclude the event.
Childcare and English-to-Spanish translation will be available.
Interpretacin al espaol estar disponible.
