The Portland Workers' Assembly (and could we please have one in Marion County?)


For the past couple of months, Tyler and the Portland Rising subcommittee have been working hard on a series of political education talks geared towards workers in the Portland area, and it's ready for public aFnnouncement! I hope that all of you will mark your calendars and help us spread the word.

Each talk focuses on a specific topic with the goal of continuing the labor militancy that we‘ve seen recently. Talks will feature a panel of speakers with experience related to the topic at hand and will be facilitated by Tyler. While panelists’ experiences will be a starting point for discussion, we aim to create a distinctly collaborative space where all participants are able to ask questions and share their experiences. These talks are geared towards all workers, union or not, and union staff and labor activists are also encouraged to attend!

Talks will be on the second Thursday from 7PM-8:30PM in the Augustana Church Fellowship Hall (2710 NE 14th Ave) and masks are required. The first talk is scheduled for 4/11 and will revolve around building campaigns that bring in the community, with E.D. Jill Pham joining the panel to talk about JWJ's own role in uplifting the labor struggle within the community.
