This week: so very many social justice events!
This podcast/blog, updated on Fridays, lists local social justice events for the coming week. It includes general event info in print & links to where you can learn more. And downloadable podcast audio.
These links, on this page, will connect you to more information, addresses, maps, etc. at pdxactivist.org, "a collaborative community calendar ... to move information about activism and resistance in Portland out of corporate silos like Facebook. This is a place to share protests, assemblies, direct actions, and other events that are open to public participation."
The most up-to-date versions of our collection of events are on pdxactivist.org and/or our facebook page.
We are not affiliated with the folks who create and maintain pdxactivist.org (though some are KBOO volunteers) - we just love their calendar and its ease of use.
Check out our weekly podcast/blog, posted on Fridays, at kboo.fm/resist and our blog post with an extended view of what's coming up.
