  • Join the Portland Central America Solidarity Committee (PCASC) for our 4th annual brunch on Sunday, June 23rd.

    This year, we’re looking at strategic organizing in the Pacific Northwest around deportations and incarceration. We’ll have a panel of speakers who are actively engaged in local organizing against the prison-http://www.ThePortlandAlliance.org/environmentindustrial-complex.  We are living in an era of record-high deportations, mass incarcerations, and the probability of 'comprehensive' immigration reform. PCASC invites you to attend and to participate in a discussion about our current moment and critical opportunities for resistance here in the northwest.

    Panelists will include Ally Ruiz, organizer with the Oregon Dream Activists, journalist and PCASC activist Crystal Contreras, and others who are working to end harsh sentencing laws, build connections, break isolation, and dissolve the invisibility of prisons and those on the inside.

    We will be serving delicious food prepared by our excellent chefs, featuring a variety of options. The menu will accommodate most every http://www.ThePortlandAlliance.org/environmentdietary restriction and will be the perfect source of fuel for the active program we have in store.
