Upcoming Events

TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 5PM: Heat Week Climate Resiliency Ride

Remember last year when it was SO HOT during this week? And it was so much hotter in some neighborhoods than others because of heat islands and lack of shade? Commemorating last year’s heat dome and its unequal effect on Portlanders, this ride will travel from Lents to Laurelhurst through neighborhoods with different levels of tree canopy and shade. We’ll end at Colonel Sumner Park for snacks and a night of climate justice actions with 350PDX.

Location: Lents Park, SE 92nd and Steele Blvd.

TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 6:30-8:30PM: 350PDX Action Night

The Heat Week Pedalpalooza ride will end at Colonel Summers Park (SE 20th & Belmont), where 350PDX is hosting a 350PDX Action Night! We’ll share food, drinks, art and actions calling on the city to prioritize planning and funding a better response to the climate emergency. And if you can’t join the bike ride, we’d still love to have you join us for the Action Night!

Location: Colonel Summers Park (SE 20th and Belmont)
