July 3 & 4: New Seasons Labor Union (NSLU) Supporter Shop-In
The NSLU is calling on you, our incredible community, for a Supporter Shop-In on July 3rd and 4th. July 4th is one of only a handful of days each year when all New Seasons workers earn a living wage. We want you to return to your favorite unionized New Seasons locations on these two days to visibly support your local workers. Wear red to show your solidarity!
Stay and chat—we miss seeing our regular customers! Tell workers directly that you support our fight for a fair contract.
Immediately following this Shop-In, we will resume our ongoing boycott as we push New Seasons to finally settle the fair contract we deserve. Your presence and support in stores during these two days will send a strong message to New Seasons Market: Portland is a union town, and the community stands firmly with its workers!
Tag @nslu_pdx to participate and use #SupporterShopIn and #LivingWageDay
The unionized locations are: Arbor Lodge, Cedar Hills, Concordia, Grant Park, Hawthorne, Sellwood, Slabtown, Seven Corners, University Park, Williams, and Woodstock.
Monday, July 7, 7pm: The Israeli Documentary Film Screening and Q&A with the Filmmaker, Jordan Karr-Morse
Join us for a sneak peek of the upcoming feature-length documentary The Israeli, which chronicles the remarkable ideological journey of prominent Israeli-American activist and author Miko Peled, from Zionist to Palestinian Rights Activist.
There will also be a screening of the short film The Orphan, which follows 90-year-old Holocaust survivor Jacques Bude as he recounts his time in post-war Israel, and why his experience with genocide compelled him to the Palestinian cause.
A Q&A with filmmaker Jordan Karr-Morse and a panel discussion featuring local activists will follow the screenings. Tickets are $10. Sales will benefit the completion of The Israeli.
