Welcome! We are the Southeast Neighborhood Team, we act on 350PDX campaigns on a local level. We gather together in SE Portland for regular meetings and action groups to provide each other with a sense of community, and to build the climate justice movement right where we live. We work towards:
- Supporting each other in our activism, informing and educating and encouraging each other.
- Spreading the word on climate justice and the work 350PDX is doing, having a presence at local events, reaching out to groups and organisations in our SE communities.
- Regularly writing to and meeting with our representatives and senators and attending town halls.
- Supporting each others’ participation in fossil fuel resistance events such as hearings and rallies.
Our monthly ‘vigils’/demonstrations upon the overpass of SE 9th and Powell are enlivening honk-fests! We gather with signs to show the passing cars, to raise awareness, to resist, and to have a lot of fun. All ye who newly venture into vigiling, beware of the occasional finger! Glad to say mostly what we get are enthusiastic car-horns, peace signs, fist pumps, and even blown kisses. A fun way to hang out together. There is also the possibility holding vigils in places with foot traffic for the potential of more personal contact with passers by.
