Actions to Make Polluters Pay
ACTION ITEM #1: Fill out this short survey with your name, email, and click the “support” button for putting big corporations on the hook for their negligence through this ordinance.
Then cut and paste this comment, or something like it, into the survey’s space for feedback:
I support a strong, enforceable risk bond ordinance that includes a penalty of $25,000/day for non-compliance, applicable to all facilities regulated by the DEQ Fuel Tank Seismic Stability program and going into effect within 2 years.
ACTION ITEM #2: Show up in red at 11:00am on Thursday, Nov. 21 to watch the Multnomah County Commissioners discuss the ordinance at the County building on 501 SE Hawthorne!
Background: Time to demand that polluters pay up front for damages, clean up and putting our lives & environment in danger! Zenith and cronies must take steps to prevent huge oil spills, fires and deadly toxic fumes from fossil fuels and other toxic chemicals being released from old tanks on the riverfront – given the odds of a big earthquake, forest fire or train derailment.

Friday, Nov. 22, 6-8pm: Divest From War Crimes, From the Philippines to Palestine! A Teach-in on Divestment & Solidarity Work
Join Jewish Voice for Peace, Kalikasan Solidarity Organization, and the Portland chapter of Democratic Socialists of America for a teach-on on divestment as an important tactic in our struggles against human rights violations, war crimes, genocide, and plunder, from Portland to the Philippines to Palestine!
Our organizations will each share about our divestment campaigns pressuring the Oregon State Treasury to divest from corporations guilty of human rights violations and plunder in the Philippines and Palestine, and the new bill we’ve drafted together to implement a human rights screening on all investments made by the state of Oregon.
It’s far past time for Oregon to get our public funds out of war crimes, human rights violations, and plunder! Join us to build a movement strong enough to pressure our state to uphold the principles of human rights and justice and divest!
