- WHAT: May Day Morning Action to Call Out the Portland Business Alliance!
- WHEN: Tuesday, May 1, 2018, at 7 a.m. (Yes, morning, until 8 a.m., feel free to show up around 6:30 a.m. to help set up. Their meeting starts at 7:30 a.m.)
- WHERE: The Annual Meeting of Portland Business Alliance, at Oregon Convention Center Portland Ballroom, located at 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Portland, OR 97232.
- WHY: Portland Business Alliance (PBA) claims to represent 1,900 Oregon businesses and institutions in its endorsement of the Pacific Connector Pipeline/Jordan Cove fracked gas project. PBA also opposed the fossil fuel facility ban and launched an aggressive campaign to weaken the Superfund Clean-up Plan. PBA is the most reliable opposition voice to environmental progress in Portland. Few member businesses are aware; many would be aghast. Let’s inform them and the general public.
- HOW: Bring your sign! (tips below.) We will also have a long banner and we’ll leaflet the 1,000+ attendees as they enter the parking garage. Please wear business attire if possible.
- Home-made signs: effective in large, bold letters and few words. Better to use term “fracked gas” instead of white-washed terms “Liquefied Natural Gas” or “LNG”.
