Participants will choose out of these three workshops for the sessions:

  1. Teressa Raiford: Liberated Archives: History, Culture, and Activism using Archives for Social Change
Teressa Raiford is a native of Portland whose family has lived in the city for generations. In addition to being an entrepreneur and consultant, she is a long time community organizer and police accountability advocate whose work around the issue of gun violence led to a meeting with First Lady Michelle Obama in 2013. In 2014, in the wake of massive nationwide outcry over the killing of unarmed black people by police, Raiford formed the group Don't Shoot Portland.

      2. APANO's Legislative Advocacy: Bringing Community to Action

The Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO) is a statewide, grassroots organization, uniting Asians and Pacific Islanders to achieve social justice.  We use our collective strengths to advance equity through empowering, organizing and advocating with our communities. We envision a just and equitable world where Asians and Pacific Islanders are fully engaged in the social, economic and political issues that affect us.

       3. Asa Wright & Paulina Ramirez: Creative Resistance

Asa Wright is a Klamath/Modoc artist helping organize the art-for-action tent. Originally from Chiloquin, Oregon, Asa now lives in Portland, Oregon, where he works as a painter, graphic designer, tattoo artist, screen printer, and co-founder of the Portland Two Spirit Society.

Inés Paulina Ramírez (Cuenca, Ecuador 1984) is a queer Latinx multidisciplinary artist whose work has traveled between Mexico, the United States and Ecuador. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Cuenca, Ecuador and Masters of Urban Art from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City. Her work is a body of diverse geographies, crossed by the political and sociocultural experiences of Indigenous memory and inspired by the radical cultural imaginary of a borderless landscape. Through intimate and collective practice, her projects seek to initiate the process of recovery and decolonization of territory and body.
