Thursday, March 21, 4:15-5:15pm: Rally for Schools and Students
The Joint Committee on Ways and Means is holding a public “hearing” in the MAHB at PCC-Cascade in response to their proposed budget, which slashes Oregon school funding by an additional $100 million dollars, and under-funds the QEM by over $2 billion in the coming biennium. It is clear they have chosen NOT to hear us or this proposal would not exist.
Join together in front of the student union building with educators, students, and community members as we rally together and share our stories. Let’s make sure everyone is heard. Loud and Clear.
Location: PCC Cascade, 705 N Killingsworth St.
Thursday, March 28, 6-8pm: Should Portland Ditch Wells Fargo for a Public Bank?
Would you like to see the City of Portland ditch banking with Wells Fargo? Would you like to see all OUR (taxpayers) money the city invests stay in the Portland region?
Believe it or not such a world is possible! With a public bank (also known as a Municipal Bank).
Join us and the Portland Public Bank campaign to learn about what a public bank is, why it matters, and where we’re at in the campaign to start a public bank of Portland. If you’re curious to learn more about the topic ahead of time you can visit http://www.publicbankinginstitute.org/
