Cascadia Confluence
Tomorrow is earth day, and people across the world are organizing two weeks of action to bring attention to the issue of climate change, and the urgent need to take radical action for the future of life on earth.

The movement is called ‘Earth Day to May Day’, and it aims to bring together issues of the environment with issues of labor and workers.

In Portland this past weekend, to kick off earth week, A Bioregional Confluence was organized by the Cascadia Brach of Portland at Portland State University. The Gathering was dedicated to promoting bioregional awareness, Indigenous solidarity and community resilience.

Activists discussed the future of the Pacific Northwest and tactics for building strong and healthy relationships within our community.  Judy Goldhaft, co-founder and director of Planet Drum Foundation presented a history of bioregionalism and its effect on the world.
