The Cascadia Freedom Caravan is being organized by a coalition of community members and organizations from Portland and Olympia to bring local activists to the Allied Media Conference and the US Social Forum in Detroit, MI, between June 18-26. The format of the caravan is being encourage by the USSF as a way for local activists to link up with each other and make it to the forum together.
Our goal is to foment discussion and interaction amongst local community leaders and organizations interested in the values of the Forum, and to facilitate interaction amongst ourselves before, during and after the trip, to maximize the value of the experience. We plan on having a series of meet and greets before we go, to stop at strategic points between here and Detroit to share our work in Portland with people along the way, and to collectively document the experience.
Our collaborating members include:
NAAME, PCASC, Creating Democracy, National Lawyers Guild, B Media Collective, Students for Unity, PASO, LASO, Media Island, Jobs with Justice, Working America, RECLAIM!, Right2Survive, POWER, NW Student Coalition
