PDX: Another world is possible, and we can start building it through solidarity right here in Portland, Oregon.
Twilio stopped letting us use their service, and we’re currently having problems accessing our text mob. We’re encouraging people to join the PEER Signal Group. If we get the text mob back up and running it’s still optimal to have redundancy, so we’ll use both methods to alert people about evictions.
When they’re coming to evict someone, we can stop them. It’s a matter of solidarity. We already have the popular support — but we need to act, and keep acting, until we win eviction abolition.
Join us. Spread the word. Get Signal and join the Signal group. It’s an announcements group, not a discussion group. You’ll be notified when there’s an eviction in the Portland, Oregon area that requires immediate response.
