Town Hall on the Economic Crisis: Jan. 31, 1-5 pm

When:

Jan 12 2009 - 3:00pm

TLC Farm is co-sponsoring a Town Hall on the Economic Crisis, along with Jobs for Justice and several other organizations, on Saturday January 31, from 1-5 pm at the First Unitarian Church, 1011 SW 12th Ave.

We have a great opportunity now to organize to get not just a bailout, but an economy that provides opportunity for working people, an economy that helps communities thrive and reverses decades of growing inequality, take-backs, union busting, unfair trade agreements, cuts in health care and more. We have an opportunity at the same time to act decisively on climate change. The mood is changing in the country with the public outcry against the Wall St. bailout and the end of a virulently anti-worker administration.

In these extraordinary times, it is so important that we be proactive, and learn, strategize and organize together! At the Town Hall we will hear about how we got into this economic crisis as well as have presentations and discussions about our vision and concrete plans for getting out. We will hear from panelists with experience and expertise and we’ll have discussions in which we will pool our own experiences and strategies on different aspects of the crisis and solutions. We would appreciate hearing about your ideas and fight-back strategies as we continue our planning process.

Many of us have been rightly outraged at the $700 billion bailout that went to Wall Street instead of to the real economy. That money hasn’t even been used to prime the pump, instead too much of it has gone to CEO salaries, shareholder dividends, mergers and parties. We know that this has got to be turned around!

* Co-sponsoring organizations (partial list): Jobs with Justice, Economic Justice Action Group of the 1st Unitarian Church, Oregon Action, AFT Healthcare Northwest, Center for Intercultural Organizing, ILWU Local 8, AFSCME Council 75, Oregon Fair Trade Campaign, Enlace, Tryon Life Community Farm, MoveOn Portland, OFNHP, Portland International Socialist Organization, Code Pink and more!
