Climate Action Coalition: Ready for Action

October 29, 2014/in Announcements, News /by Guest Author

President Obama speaks of an “all of the above” energy policy. We climate activists engage in “all of the above” methods of tackling fossil fuels. Using a variety of strategies & tactics from letter-writing to presenting testimony, from legislative advocacy to carrying signs, we each do our part in the growing climate justice movement.

Some members of our climate community also choose to participate in and/or provide support for non-violent direct action and civil disobedience. Collaboration among climate groups and those organizing direct action and civil disobedience has produced the Climate Action Coalition. Participating members are 350PDX, No KXL Portland, Portland Rising Tide, The Raging Grannies, PDX Bike Swarm, First Unitarian Universalists-Community For Earth, and Greenpeace Portland Action Team. Our fledgling Coalition has already held an action at Portland’s Arc Logistics oil terminal and hosted a successful potluck-fundraiser for the Civil Liberties Defense Center.

Two representatives from each supporting group meet regularly and report back to their members. For coalition info, contact: 350pdx@gmail.com

Climate March Marches Onwards!

October 29, 2014/in Climate Heroes, News /by Guest Author

A large contingent of Oregonians, many who traveled across the country aboard the climate train, joined 400,000 fellow marchers in New York City for the largest and most diverse climate march in history. Marchers took to the streets across Oregon in alliance with the Peoples’ Climate March in NYC, with over 5,000 marchers in Portland, over a hundred in Bend, hundreds more in Eugene, crowds in Hood River, at the Community Earth Fair and kids’ bike tour in Salem, and the small community of Manzanita came together and drew attention to the pressing need for rapid action to prevent climate catastrophe and to build a more just, healthy, thriving and resilient community and world.

But, frankly, the March was more than just a chance to paint great signs and yell at the top of our lungs. While the march attracted a diversity of new people and communities who had never been to (or helped organize!) a climate rally before, it is clear that we are all ready to act. Read more

Tax-Deductible 350PDX

October 29, 2014/in Announcements, News /by Guest Author

We are pleased to announce that 350PDX has received 501(c)(3) status with the IRS. In other words, we are now a non-profit for tax purposes.

For you, our supporters, this means that donations–including all those made since January 9, 2014–are tax deductible on both your Oregon and U.S. tax returns. If you have made a donation this year via the PayPal link on our website or by check- thank you! We’ll be sending you a tax receipt letter before tax time. If you donated cash, we thank you equally! but we don’t have a record of it so will not be able to send you a receipt.

A big shout out to our pro-bono attorney, Michael Millender of Tonkon Torp LLP, whose generous work on our behalf made this possible.
