Room 211 - - - What We Know to Be True
- That everyone is equal
- That everybody falls, but what matters is if you get back up
- Portland hates the sun
- Just because one person is bad, doesn’t mean the love around the ones you care about is gone
- We are a community
- Just because our voice is one of a billion doesn’t mean we can’t be heard
- It isn’t over yet
- “The power of the people is stronger than the people with power”
- Kindness is a requirement
- Just because someone has done something bad doesn’t mean they are a bad person
- Calling someone stupid doesn’t make you any smarter
- Never give up on someone
- Just because you lose once doesn’t make you not a winner
- After it rains there is always a rainbow
- We need to hope
- Anyone can be successful

Wednesday, November 16th, Doors-6:30, Conversation-7:00 pmAn Evening With The Tar Sands Valve-Turners"Stepping Outside Polite Conversation"Sunnyside Community House3520 SE Yamhill St. PortlandOn October 11th, five individuals engaged in non-violent civil disobedience to show solidarity with Standing Rock Water Protectors and to bring attention to the need for immediate action on climate disruption. "Valve-Turners" broke into five U.S. entry points for Alberta Tar Sands oil and turned the valves to shut off the flow. "...we've tried the legal, incremental, reasonable methods, and they haven't been anything like enough: without a radical shift in our relationship to this Earth, all that we love will disappear. My fear of that possibility is far greater than my fear of jail. My love for the beauties of this world are far greater than my love of an easy life."--Emily Johnston, Valve-TurnerLegal Fund for the Valve-Turners: Suggested $10 donation---no one turned awayAll Five of the Pacific NW Valve-Turners will be present to share in the evening's conversation.EVENT INFO is ATTACHED.
