Definitions
Prison and Police Abolition: The ethos that punishment and the carceral system do not reduce harm or provide justice for victims and that systematic state violence should be replaced with non-punitive community resources.
Carceral State: Institutions of confinement, punishment, surveillance held up by the state. Used to regulate and control the public through fear.
Community Resilience: The ability for a community (city, neighborhood, association, etc) to respond to various hardships and improve collective conditions.
Crime: An act punishable by law. Might or might not cause harm. Gatekeeping: Controlling or limiting access to a resource, sometimes based on level of need or other status. Gatekeepers are the individuals who have authority over that resource
ALT Page 1 alt text continued:
Harm: An act that has a negative effect on another. Might or might not be a crime.
Mutual Aid: A method of community organizing based on individuals voluntarily and directly meeting each others' needs. Decentralized networks spread across neighborhoods to address issues without intervention or regulation. Recognizes that reacting to systemic oppression on an issue-by-issue, institutional basis does not strengthen communities or change the conditions we live in.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 A beloved member of the community & a jail support stalwart was recently arrested & the pigs are leveraging old charges against them. We need a large show of support on 7/7 at 9:30 in room 3 of the justice center. Please boost and show up for them.
if u don’t know name or bday the booking site lists physical descriptors. u can cross list w whether the charges seem likely for the situation. it’s tedious but we’ve had some luck with this when it comes to tracking down community members arrested during camp sweeps
Radical Pride is coming up on June 26th! 🏳️⚧️✨🌈 Hate rainbow capitalism? Us too! That means we could use your help making this a community sponsored event. Funds will be used to pay for ASL interpreter, Drag and other performers time and labor.
ALT The first slide is a fundraising flyer with a pink to blue gradient background. At the top in black it says "radical pride" which is repeated in cascading rainbow font to purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and then red. Under that in black is says "fundraising." Below that in white text it reads "approximately $1,000 needed to pay performers for their time and labor." At the bottom in black text it says "donate via venmo or cash app. At symbol matzahbloc or dollar sign matahbloc.
ALT The next slide is a save the date flyer. There is a grainy photo as the background showing a drag queen at the front and a crowd of people standing behind them. In bubble letters that transition from blue purple and pink read "radical Pride 2022. Save the day June 26th. Live performances! Mutual aid. 30 vendors. Scenes. Art. Food. March!"
Portland Police is using changes from State Law under HB 4008 and with the Mayor's permission to allow the use of CS Gas for crowd control measurements. This revokes the November 20, 2020 Executive order. Just in time to gas pro choice supporters.

The Normandale hero GFM extended their goal to $20k, to offer a slight more cushion to take care of their needs. They are less than $7k from goal. Please donate if you can, and please share far and wide. Let's shatter the goal this weekend.
69 evictions filed just in first 3 days of March 2022. Evictions peak each time the state lifts protections. As of March 1st tenants can be evicted for back rent owed and evictions peaked accordingly. The state's plan all along has been to slow a flood over time, not stop it.
Help support the heroic individual that stopped the mass shooter at Normandale Park. They are in need of financial assistance to acquire legal aid, move after being doxxed, and to take unburdened post-trauma time. They are not far from goal - please help if you can.
