December 4th - 7th
"There are young movers in Portland creating smart new dance experiences. Shows that can appeal to not only the audiences of Whitebird and OBT but the Youtube generation as well. That’s what’s exciting about Bb DeLano’s Eleven, it borrows from two very different worlds to make something new. The show fuses contemporary and hip-hop for 11 pieces on human emotion. In three short months, Bb assembled a gifted local cast and like-minded choreographers from around the country to create a truly immersive performance. The show is set in an intimate black box theatre so every seat is a front row seat. Come take part in the next step in Portland dance."

A forum called "US Foreign Policy: The Wars Continue" will take place on
Tuesday, September 23 at 7:00 PM at the Friends Meeting House, 4312 SE Stark
in Portland to examine America's role in the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza,
Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and the re-ignited Cold War with Russia.
"After the US "withdrew" from Iraq in late 2011, the President urged Congress
to repeal the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force in Iraq, yet in
early August, he ordered bombs and missiles to be dropped on that country.
President Obama also promised to withdraw troops from Afghanistan by the end
of 2014, but now it appears at least 10,000 troops will remain there
indefinitely. The US Senate unanimously passed a resolution supporting
Israel's recent incursion into Gaza, which killed hundreds of civilians.
Tensions in Ukraine signal a renewed military standoff with Russia. And the US
continues dropping bombs from drones in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, while
Libya and Syria's situations remain unstable as well due to US intervention.
Meanwhile, America spends more on the military than any other nation as its
infrastructure crumbles and the gap between rich and poor widens.
Organizers expect to have one or more action items related to US policies for
people attending to undertake.
The coordinators of the forum include Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity
Group, Occupy Portland Elder Caucus, and American Friends Service Committee.
Endorsed by Recruiter Watch PDX, Little Light of Mine Friends Worship Group,
Portland Fellowship of Reconciliation, Oregon Physicians for Social
Responsibility and others. Other groups are welcome to support the effort. For
more information or to get involved contact Peace and Justice Works at
503-235-3065 or iraq@pjw.info."
Forum's Focus: "US Foreign Policy: The Wars Continue"

Supports Bombs in Gaza, and More
