Floppy disk delivery
March 20, 2014. Alliance for Democracy joined Oregon Fair Trade Campaign in delivery of old tech floppy disks to Sen Wyden's office with the message, Just like these floppy disks are old technology from the 20th century, fast track authority is as well. We need new policies for the 21st century, policies that promote democracy, worker rights and protection of the environment.
NO to FAST TRACK AUTHORITY! NO TO THE TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP! |

Anti Trans Pacific Rally
January 1, 2014 was the 20th anniversary of NAFTA. So on January 31, people across the US, Canada and Mexico gathered to protest the effects of NAFTA, and to say No to the Trans Pacific Partnership, Pres. Obama's secretly negotiated 12 nation corporate trade agreement.
We gathered at Portland State University and then marched downtown. Some of us then took the MAX train to the Beaverton office of Rep. Bonamici. She is the only Oregon Democrat not to state her opposition to Fast Track Authority. This rally was jointly planned by Alliance for Democracy and Oregon Fair Trade Campaign. |

Save the Postal Service Rally March 17, 2013
Union postal workers, non-postal union and non-union workers and community allies like the Alliance for Democracy rallied in downtown Portland today in support of a call to save the postal service from efforts to privatize or eliminate the postal service as a public service or, as we say, as part of the commons. The rally was followed by a march to the Hoyt Street post office. Alliance for Democracy members were there with our banner as well as fliers promoting the upcoming appearance of Thom Hartmann and another one calling attention to the Trans Pacific Partnership, Obama's new "free trade agreement," currently being negotiated. See our Campaigns tab for more information on this.
