7pm tonight, the First Unitarian Church in downtown Portland will be facilitating a community dialogue on how our community can join the movement to abolish corporate personhood. The Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United is just the latest --and most blatant-- example that corporations have hijacked the government. Alliance for Democracy is giving a Call to Action. It's time to Overrule the Court! Facilitators are Riki Ott, marine biologist and commercial fisherwoman, and David Cobb, Green Party Presidential Candidate. The First Unitarian Church is located at SW 12th& Salmon. Donations are welcome .

If you're too angry to approach the Elephant of Corporate Personhood and would rather knit, come out to Milagros at 5429 NE 30th Avenue. From 7-9pm there is a knitting project to support the Hats and Scarves Project.
Living Earth members, friends, and needle-workers in general knit and crochet (or sew) warm hats and scarves that to be given to children and families throughout our area to keep away the winter cold. All are welcome to come and knit at this social circle. Bring you own project.
