Bright Neighbor is teaming up with Occupy Wall Street (OWS) Portland to continue the democratic process of people powered change. Since 2007, Bright Neighbor has been the leading system helping develop and prove social value in the sharing economy. We have provided Portlanders a free community logistics and economics platform to trade, make, grow, gather, borrow, lend, use what you have, or find who/what you need. Our focus is on ensuring the continuity of local prosperity in the face of dismantling outdated economic models.
Thousands of Portlanders have used Bright Neighbor to meet other locals through location, interests, events, classes, and resource sharing. This Friday, Occupy Portland organizers will be leading a march to bring attention to Occupy Portland is the 99%. The 99% that are choosing to occupy are doing so for many reasons, including the financial stability to do so. Some are occupying because they have no where else to go. We are all the 99%. Through the generosity of Occupy Portland supporters we have been able to feed and shelter many of those most affected by greed. Occupy Portland, with increased media coverage, has been able to bring forth to the light the severe lack of funds and care available to those most vulnerable in our society.
This Friday at 11:30 AM, you can show your support and solidarity for the unhoused and marginalized by coming out to march with Occupy Portland.
The march begins at Lownsdale Square in front of the memorial statue. It makes a pit-stop at Pioneer Square at noon for a rally, and from there the march continues through the Pearl District and returns to Occupy Portland Base Camp. We encourage all who wish to express their voice on the effects of poverty to come and be heard.
We hope to see you Friday, Oct. 21 at 11:30 AM
