ALEC’s members include many Earth destroying corporations and groups such as the American Nuclear Energy Council, American Petroleum Institute, Chevron, Shell, and the Chlorine Chemistry Council. Join our friends at Occupy Portland on Feb 29th and hit ’em where it hurts.

Call to Action

Occupy Portland calls for a day of non-violent direct action to reclaim

our voices and challenge our society’s obsession with profit and greed

by shutting down the corporations. We are rejecting a society that does

not allow us control of our future. We will reclaim our ability to shape

our world in a democratic, cooperative, just and sustainable direction.

We call on the Occupy Movement and everyone seeking freedom and justice to join us in this day of action.

There has been a theft by the 1% of our democratic ability to shape and

form the society in which we live and our society is steered toward the

destructive pursuit of consumption, profit and greed at the expense of

all else.

We call on people to target corporations that are part of the American

Legislative Exchange Council which is a prime example of the way

corporations buy off legislators and craft legislation that serves the

interests of corporations and not people. They used it to create the

anti-labor legislation in Wisconsin and the racist bill SB 1070 in

Arizona among so many others. They use ALEC to spread these corporate laws around the country.

In doing this we begin to recreate our democracy. In doing this we begin

to create a society that is organized to meet human needs and sustain life.

On February 29th, we will reclaim our future from the 1%. We will shut

down the corporations and recreate our democracy.

Join us! Leap into action! Reclaim our future! Shut down the corporations!
