Events & Actions
Thursday, March 13, 5pm: Let Us Work! Save our Services! Mass Call
Elon Musk is trying to steal the federal government — slashing public services, firing civil servants, and handing power to billionaires like himself. It’s illegal. It’s dangerous. And we won’t stand for it.
Join us on a nationwide call to hear how we fight back. Speakers will include Robert Reich, Senator Chris Murphy, AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler, Maurice Mitchell of the Working Families Party, and more TBA.
Here’s what you can expect on the call:
- Hear from federal workers on the front lines fighting back against illegal DOGE cuts
- Get details on our new national campaign of actions and town halls to stop federal worker firings and cuts to public services — including how YOU can get involved.
- Hear from top elected officials and union leaders — including Representative Greg Casar and AFGE president Everett Kelley — about the urgent stakes of this battle.
Thursday, March 13, 5pm: Fund Care, Not Billionaires – Hosted by National Nurses United
Medicaid and other critical public health programs are facing unprecedented attacks. The Trump administration’s proposed cuts would take health care away from tens of millions of Medicaid enrollees and threaten the jobs of the nurses and other workers who provide that essential care—all to finance massive tax cuts for the billionaire class. Tune in March 13th at 5pm PT/8pm ET for a discussion of how the attack on Medicaid would impact patients, workers, and our communities, and how we can fight back.
Speakers:
Cathy Kennedy, President, National Nurses United
Liz Shuler, President, AFL-CIO
Vinay Krishnan, National Field Organizer, Popular Democracy
Jamila Headley, Executive Director, Be A Hero

Thursday, March 20, Tabling at 5:30, Panel at 6:30: RUMBLE ON THE RIVER Community Forum #22 – “Renewable” Fuels: Climate Fix or Magical Thinking?
Just as it seemed that we were making real climate progress, the fossil fuel industry is sidetracking elected officials, regulators and business leaders with a rash of climate solution diversions. In the face of Zenith Energy’s plans to make Portland the West Coast center for so-called renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, the panel will examine how renewable diesel is fraught with all kinds of problems and dangers and actually may have a higher carbon footprint than petroleum-based fuels and how renewable natural gas actually comes from methane produced by tortured animals in factory farms.
Panel:
- Amy van Saun—Senior Attorney with Center for Food Safety, serves with Stand Up To Factory Farms
- Jeremiah Hayden—Staff Reporter at Street Roots
- Dan Serres–Advocacy Director with Columbia Riverkeeper
- Barbara Bernstein—Host of KBOO Radio’s Locus Focus, Film Maker–most recent productions are “Once A Braided River” and “Chasing Chimeras–The Lure of Deceptive Climate Solutions”
- Moderator: Dineen Crowe, Campaign Manager with 350PDX
Location: Havurah Shalom, 825 NW 18th Ave
