Corporate Personhood Working Group 2 months, 3 weeks agoStopping the coal trains is a more time sensitive issue &, if attendance at the last few GAs is any indication, our human resources seem to be somewhat limited. I suggest that we focus on that and use what we learn to enhance a living wage initiative later.

The room that Pastor […] ViewIf nothing else works out, I have a possible location. I’m friends with the owner of a pub that is in the process of adding a banquet room that might seat 40. When construction is completed in a couple months, we would be able to use it for free. The location is on transit lines in the neighborhood of Mill Plain & Chkalov.

Irene Crest is the one who should be fired. This sounds like either a retaliatory firing for union activity or a violation of the HIPPA laws that keep medical information private. In either case this is likely to […]
