Oregon Laying Down Groundwork to Mobilize Against US War with Russia
Oregon’s antiwar movement unified to protest US threatened war against Russia over the Ukraine on Satirday in Portland Oregon and on Sunday, February 6 outside the Oregon State Capitol in Salem Oregon.
The events were coordinated by Salem Against War in coalition with Workers World of Oregon, Socialist Action, Student Solidarity Union and Youth Against Empire.
We will update with any pictures or videos from the event shortly.
Proposed Action Plan
The following are some suggested steps:
Initial Launch Discussions Discussions can be in person and via zoom, etc.
Draft Statement of unity against US war and preparation for war including provision of weapons and troops to the Ukraine,
Mobilization at car caravan and rallies at US Senator and Represenatives offices opposing US war on Russia.
Issue Responses to events as they occur and escalate.
Create Network of organizations and individuals dedicated to joining this fight.
Staff with volunteers and ideally stipended staff to continue forward opposition to war.
Potential Organizational and Individual Resources
Approach and engage the organizations in Oregon area to participate.

Funding
Critical to the success of this effort will be staffing a fully supported effort . While we can likely sustain an initial action without a significant budget – to continue forward we might want to consider some sort of fundraising efforts to sustain expenses for one or more staff to coordinate moving the effort forward.
