Rumble #31: Building Community For The Long Haul

In response to the disheartening onslaught against democracy, humanity, and life on our planet, we come together for inspirations, ideas, and actions that will energize us to create a humane and supportive community. Come learn what other neighborhoods and networks are doing and how you can get engaged.

Since 2022, Rumble On The River has presented 30 community forums in neighborhoods throughout Portland and at the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference, University of Oregon. Rumbles bring together expert voices to discuss a range of environmental and social topics.
