The Portland Peaceful Response Coalition is a volunteer
community organization advocating peaceful, nonviolent responses to
conflict. PPRC emerged from a community gathering on the evening of
September 11, 2001, as people of many local peace and justice
organizations came together in anticipation of a violent, unjust and
criminally misguided response by the US government to the 9/11 attacks. PPRC opposes the ethnic profiling of the Arab, Muslim, South Asian and Middle Eastern immigrant populations by the US Justice Department. PPRC opposed the wars on Afghanistan and Iraq, and continues to oppose the occupations of those countries by the US Military. In addition, PPRC has taken a strong stand in support of the Global Justice movements, opposing the so-called 'free trade' agreements such as GATT and CAFTA (these are actually investor rights agreements - see Global Trade Watch for background), and more generally in support of workers rights; PPRC is a member of Portland Jobs with Justice. PPRC is committed to working for a just and peaceful resolution to the Israel/Palestine conflict, calling for the withdrawal of Israel's military occupation from the West Bank and Gaza, and for the establishment of a viable, independent Palestinian state in these territories. For examples of this work, please check out the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation. For a broader view of the work and perspectives of the PPRC, please review the weekly press releases posted on this webpage; an archive of past press releases is posted on our Press Releases webpage. We are a member and support the work of United for Peace and Justice. For more information, please explore the navigation bar to the left. Each Friday at 5:00PM, the PPRC holds a rally and march starting at Pioneer Courthouse Square (SW Broadway & SW Yamhill) in downtown Portland. For details, please check out the calendar entry listed below. The PPRC holds a general meeting the first Tuesday of each month. All are welcome. Please call (503) 344-5078 for the location of the next meeting. |
