#OccupyICEpdx is still here. Folks are still fighting. And folks are shifting tactics and continuing to push. This one hits me hard; food... sleep... these things are critical. Much love to these three
"A small group of protesters at the Occupy ICE camp vowed to consume only Gatorade until Portland officials act to drive U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement out of the city."

Commissioner Chloe Eudaly supports abolishing ICE and is looking into revocation of the permit (still worth following up though); Fritz is also sympathetic.

OrgSpace is a social media instance on the Mastodon network built by, and for, community organizers. We believe social media is a critical tool for political education, relationship building, mobilizing folks; however, facebook, twitter and other mainstream networks have opted time and again for profit and commercializing personal data regardless of the consequences.
Mastodon is a decentralized, but federated network. This means that when you join organizing.social, you get to interact with everyone you choose to on the wider Mastodon network; but you also get to see locally scoped content (from this instance) and help build a network particularly focused on building community and organizing those around us against oppressive systems and towards a society rooted in equity and global justice.
Setting up this instance has been a project of PDX Outreach for Justice, but we want this to be a global network of organizers and welcome moderators, admins, and engineers, and others who would be interested in contributing and shaping this process
