Sign Up For The 99% Spring Training

 

995 Spring

Portland Jobs with Justice, together with the Oregon AFL-CIO and We Are Oregon, is hosting a training as part of the 99% Spring.  Jobs with Justice is proud to have joined with groups from every corner of our movement to plan a massive campaign of bold nonviolent direct actions to make the voices of the 99% impossible to ignore.

The key is making the 99% Spring as big as possible. That's why next week, in small towns and big cities all across America, 100,000 people will come together for an unprecedented national movement-wide nonviolent direct action training. We'll learn to tell the story of our economy and what went wrong, we'll learn the history of nonviolent direct action, and we'll learn how we can take action and create change. Local organizations and volunteers are running more than 750 trainings in living rooms, union halls, churches, and community centers nationwide.

The Jobs With Justice training is on Sunday April 15 from 10am - 5pm at the Portland Association of Teachers, 345 NE 8th Ave.

Sign up after the jump.
