Report Back on Earth Day Action

A group of XR rebels held 2 large banners and passed out flyers in front of the Federal Building in downtown Portland, to support the national Extinction Rebellion push to have President Biden declare a Climate and Ecological Emergency.

Musician Jen Forti reported: “I just wanted to say what a magical unfolding of events it was on Thursday!! Thank you all who showed up to hold the signs and stand up for our climate. Really looking forward to more street actions with you all this summer,in solidarity and in song!”

Here’s a short video of Jen leading the musical part of the action, which others called “magical”.
