PDX still believes no one is disposable!
We remember the millions who have died around the world. We remember the thousands that have died in Oregon. And we will honor their lives by fighting to #EndCOVIDMonopolies.

Advocates in Portland including Jobs with Justice, @ORFTC and @justiceisglobal took part in a global vaccine justice vigil. We remembered all who have been lost, or needlessly suffered, due to preventable illness. 💉💉🌍

Sound up! Prince Harry just told why the life-saving vaccines the whole world needs are not getting to people in the developing world. And he did not flinch from explaining whose to blame. Seriously: 👑. #peoplesvaccine

Global Trade Watch's Lori Wallach on the 20 year anniversary of the WTO protests in Seattle: "I saw the power of direct action protests, of brave people putting themselves in the way of corporate power." #MySeattleWTOstory bit.ly/2qPKYEx

20 yrs ago, the Seattle WTO protests massively disrupted the corporate trade agenda and demonstrated the power of cross-issue, cross-border organizing. Use the hashtag #MySeattleWTOStory to share photos, written reflections & video commentaries on why Seattle's worth remembering.

From coast-to-coast, people are demanding justice for the #MediaLuna miners and saying that the murder & disappearance of Mexican union activists illustrate starkly why strong labor enforcement is needed in any #NAFTA replacement deal #1u
Oregon Fair Trade retweeted
“The starting wage for #MediaLuna miners is less than $2 an hour...These miners deserve the right to be treated with dignity as human beings, to have enforceable labor protections, and to organize a union of their own choosing that is free from violence.” —Catherine Houston, USW

"#NAFTA isn’t broken. It did exactly what it was intended to do: Make corporations richer at the expense of workers and the communities they live in."
No vote until it's fixed!

Vigils for disappeared Mexican labor leader Oscar Hernández Romero are taking place across the U.S. His case illustrates why real labor rights enforcement is so critical in any #NAFTA replacement. #1u usw.org/blog/2019/an-accompl…

Join @ORFTC Wednesday for a vigil at the Mexican consulate to honor the disappeared labor & environmental activist Oscar Hernández Romero. And to call on Congress to oppose new NAFTA until trading contains real, on-the-ground legal protections, incl the right to organize.
