#PortlandOR - From #AssetToTheResistance

"What we do...

As assets for the resistance we have the privilege and responsibility to address economic inequality. This includes educating our communities about the capitalist system, how it impacts them, and how to navigate it with a sense of power. We aim to do this by creating a referral network through the Asset to the Resistance website, offering grassroots fiscal education and providing Q&A sessions with RMP’s. We hope to build a stronger, more equitable community, one where we talk about money and privilege openly and with vulnerability for the purpose of supporting the broader social justice movement."

#MutualAid in #PDX (a very incomplete list)

- #FoodNotBombs: #FreeFood to the community, no judgment or preaching

- #ReallyReallyFreeMarket: a gathering of leftists in public places to give stuff to people who need it. Anything from clothes and books to narcan and art supplies.

- #FreeFridges: all over town are comrades willing to stock fridges and pantries facing public sidewalks for anyone in the community to come grab free food and supplies.

- #PIRC (Portland #ImmigrantRights Coalition): a larger nonprofit that supports autonomous mutual aid groups to self-organize using the training and skills they provide to report and record immigration law enforcement, as well as connect families and community to legal support.

- #PDXICEWatch: is keeping an eye on activity as well

- #CLEARClinic: Folks providing #FreeLegalServices to break down various legal barriers including court record relief, #housing justice, and immigration justice

- #WERQTogether: are people providing resources for #queer communities, specifically focusing on #trans community support and funding to get trans folks to safety

- #RadicalAbundance: is a radical thrift shop at 1805 NE Cesar Chavez Blvd that provides a sliding scale pricing system that does allow for free clothes and stuff for those who need it

- #HeaterBloc: While they are no longer active, this link shows how someone could (and has) build heaters out of cheap materials that are tip-over-safe and good to heat a tent or small room for someone who needs that, and potentially give them out for free if they wanted to organize around making that happen

- #MendingBloc: A network of people who know how to sew and mend offering their services to repair clothes, sleeping bags, tents, and other things, and teaching people to mend things themselves.

- #RainbowBloc: A group of folks doing general street support, #ClothingSwaps, #zine fairs, #MigraWhistle kits, and other community support that pivots based on current community needs.

- Asset to the #Resistance: #RadicalAccountants helping others for free to navigate the tax or grant system.

- #PetBloc: providing #FreePetFood and warm clothing for pets living with folks who may experience #homelessness

- #FrontLineMedics and #PortlandStreetMedicine: People with varying degrees of first responder training learning together and training others on how to safely and effectively deploy #IFAK kits and otherwise provide community first aid care directly to the community.

- The People’s Store, Matzah Bloc, Southeast Community Free Store, Free Lunch Collective, Be Loved Bloc, and a number of other groups who prefer not to have much presence online are all dedicated to providing material support to folks surviving on the streets of Portland.

- #PrinterBloc provides printing services for those wanting to publish zines."

#Toolkit: #Protest #safety tips from #Greenpeace

"Protest is a powerful strategy to demand #justice. Greenpeace has been holding and supporting protests around the world for nearly 50 years. Because of this, we’ve received requests and messages asking for advice on protest tactics, digital, and physical security against #militarized #police forces. While we have compiled this from a US point of view where this Greenpeace team is based, we hope some of what is here is helpful beyond the US.

"We are continuously learning, learning from mistakes, learning from each other. The #activists that make up our Greenpeace community, also come from many protest practices and methods, including #Indigenous-led resistance to #FossilFuel #extraction, the #ImmigrantRights movement, the Movement for Black Lives, [#BLM] and others. We wanted to share some of our learnings so that you can join us in protests that demand systemic changes from fighting for #ClimateJustice to dismantling #WhiteSupremacy. We support you and are fighting with you.

"We want to acknowledge that there are many different types of protest tactics, and that this is not an exhaustive list. We also want to acknowledge that communities of color, especially Black communities and other non-Black Indigenous and communities of color, are policed differently than white communities.

"When we protest we have an opportunity to demand the world we need and to understand how the issues we face are interconnected. As we fight for environmental justice, we show up for racial justice, Indigenous rights, immigrant rights, disability rights and more. While this guide focuses on protests, even if you are not able to join us in the street you can support those who are protesting by providing supplies, donating to bail funds, providing rides, having important conversations with your coworkers, friends, families, and neighbors.

"Also, we want to remind you that we are not your lawyers. This is not legal advice, any tips contained here are only to assist you in thinking through how to engage in protest activity. We urge you to connect with your local organizing and legal community for additional support."
