350PDX Climate Justice Reading Group Starting!
Beginning in March: Let’s look at the larger dimensions of global climate change, exploring its connections to economics, race and gender. As well: climate denial, envisioning a global/local movement, takeaways for activists. Group will meet 10 times; how often will be decided at the first meeting. First reading: This Changes Everything, by Naomi Klein. Please contact Sheila goldensheila6@gmail.com if you’re interested.
We’ve outgrown our space! Can you Help?
We’re searching for a permanent office/work space… Preferably on the inner east side though we will happily consider other areas, room for 2-3 desks, low-cost, and perhaps a window! Bonus if it has a shared meeting space available.
Willing to donate some temporary workspace to the climate cause this summer? We need desk space for one or two Fossil Free student interns (cool, right??) in June and July!
