This conference is a cooperative effort between the Student Animal Liberation Coalition (PSU), the Jericho Movement and a new movement organization: Resistance Ecology.<br /><br />The conference advocates for a movement of resistance that is multi-layered, unified, diverse and intersectional. Previously, the organizers of this<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> conference have helped to organize the Let Live and Law and Disorder Conferences in Portland, Oregon as well as the Portland Anarchist Bookfair. There will be speakers, panels, and workshops occurring all three days.<br /><br />Resistance Ecology is about movement building. It is about cultivating an ecology of resistance that can adapt to the circumstances of domination. For us, this work begins with scrutinizing the state of the animal liberation and radical ecology movements of North America by addressing previous shortcomings and providing remedies. The most novel way that we can achieve this is by creating a movement-wide discourse that is accessible to everyone involved.<br /><br />PLEASE REGISTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Registering early is imperative for us to make sure that we have a conference program that is accessible and engaging for all attendees. Please let us know if you will need help securing lodging or need any special requests met while at the conference; allergy needs, childcare etc.</span></span></span></td></tr>

Waterfront Blues Festival is Oregon Food Bank's most powerful
fundraiser. A number of festival vendors make donations to OFB to
provide additional support. <br />
<br /><strong>Dave's Killer Bread</strong> will donate a portion of its bread sales at the festival to OFB, up to $3,000. <br />
<br />Ceramic and Glass art sales at the <strong>Empty Bowls </strong>booth benefit OFB. <a href="http://www.waterfrontbluesfest.com/News/Empty-Bowls-Fight-Hunger">Empty Bowls</a> is located on the walkway near the festival's main gate. <br />
<br /><strong>Bridge City Massage </strong>has
pledged to donate half of its proceeds to Oregon Food Bank. Bridge City
offers chair and table massages at the festival for just $1 per minute.
You'll find them at the <a href="http://www.waterfrontbluesfest.com/News/Free-Health-Screenings">Health Net Pavilion</a>. <br />
<br />Commemorate the festival's 25th anniversary with special<strong> festival merchandise</strong>, including T-shirts, sweatshirts, buttons and more. All proceeds from festival merchandise sales benefit Oregon Food Bank. <br />

10 Years After 9/11: <br />
Can We Be Safe?</h1></div><div class="field field-body"> The National Lawyers Guild, the ACLU of Oregon, the American Constitution Society, Peace and Justice Works - Iraq Affinity Group and Amnesty International USA - Group 48 are sponsoring an evening forum to discuss the threat to our civil liberties caused by the prior and current administration’s systematic policies of torture and targeted killing, extraordinary rendition and warrantless wiretaps, military commissions and indefinite detention, political surveillance and religious discrimination - policies which have dubious or no value in preserving our safety and national security.<br />
Panelists will also highlight ongoing efforts by ACLU, the National Lawyers Guild and others to uncover such abuses and hold those responsible accountable in the legal courts and the court of public opinion.<br />
Speakers include:<br />
<ul><li> Steven Wax, Federal Public Defender, who has represented a number of Guantanamo detainees</li>
<li> David Fidanque, Executive Director of the ACLU of Oregon; Kayse Jama, Executive Director, Center for Intercultural Organizing;</li>
<li> Steven Goldberg a National Lawyers Guild attorney whose litigation successfully challenged the NSA warrantless surveillance program</li>
<li> Brandon Mayfield, a local Muslim attorney falsely accused and imprisoned on terrorism charges.</li>
</ul><br />
Jo Ann Hardesty, a former state legislator and a long-time voice for Portland's under-represented communities and a leader in the struggle against racial and economic injustice will present opening remarks and moderate the discussion.<br />
The event is free and open to the public.<br />
For more information, contact: Mark Kramer, National Lawyers Guild, (503) 243-2733; <a href="mailto:mark@kramer-associates.com">mark@kramer-associates.com</a><br />
