Another world is possible, and we can start building it through solidarity right here in Portland, Oregon.
The text mob we were using no longer works. We’re encouraging people to join the PEER Signal Group.
When they’re coming to evict someone, we can stop them. It’s a matter of solidarity. We already have the popular support — but we need to act, and keep acting, until we win eviction abolition.
Tenants face the same problems in both “red” and “blue” states — we can’t afford the ever-increasing rents. The landlords are mostly hedge funds, and they seem to run all of the state legislatures. Voting them out of office may not work, but we can make big changes happen in the way big changes have always happened in the USA — through social movements that engage in popular organizing, popular education, and direct action.
Join us. Spread the word. Get Signal and join the Signal group (scroll down). It’s an announcements group, not a discussion group. You’ll be notified when there’s an eviction in the Portland, Oregon area that requires immediate response, or — rarely — if PEER is sponsoring an event of some kind.
