Join JVP Portland for a powerful Week of Action!
All struggles for liberation and justice are intertwined. True safety is found in solidarity and coalition building. As a local chapter of JVP, one of the best ways we can support Palestinian liberation globally is by showing up for Black, Palestinian, and Indigenous-led organizing in our own community.
JVP Portland is honored to be joining over 20 amazing local organizers like Don’t Shoot Portland and Resist US-led War PDX for a series of direct actions, marches, and rallies to kick off the new year. So mask up and join us for this week of action!
