Dear Friends,

In partnership with other PDX organizations and community members, Breach Collective is hosting a weekly workshop series for people 30 years old and younger throughout the month of August on Monday evenings from 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. at Green Anchors (8940 N Bradford St. in Portland). The workshops will provide key skills and information to local youth who are interested in organizing for a healthier climate in their local community. You can register here.

🗓️ August 7: "What has been done so far?”
Learn the history of climate organizing in Portland, including fights against fossil fuels stored at the CEI Hub, Zenith oil trains, freeway expansion, and gas companies slowing down electrification efforts. Led by community leaders, including Sterling Stokes with the Portland Harbor Community Coalition and Samantha Hernandez with the Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility.

🗓️ August 14: "Where can we go from here?"
Break down current climate organizing efforts in the city and power-map for future campaigns. Workshop leads will run through legal frameworks for the most impactful demands and strategies in the area. Led by community leaders, TBA.

🗓️ August 21: "How will we do this?"
Explore activist skills like organizing marches, art building, communications strategy, security culture, and preventing infighting in the movement. Led by community leaders, including Kelsey Baker with Mosquito Fleet.

🗓️ August 28: “Know Your Rights.”

We hope to see you there!
