Extinction Rebellion

On May 22nd, the Portland Raging Grannies joined XR PDX for an occupation of the Morrison bridge. We will not give up our disruptive nonviolent civil disobedience until the city comes to the negotiating table to begin a process of healing for Portland and the planet, to face our collective denial on no uncertain terms – and to confront a global genocide project that’s destroying us all in plain sight. We demand a citizens assembly and goals that align with the science – beginning with Net Zero by 2025.

Earth is Dying Day

Extinction Rebellion held an action called Earth is Dying Day, and the Portland Raging Grannies were there to support the group and their important message.

The Grannies sang a dirge as XR artists walked slowly through Saturday Market. Once completed, a die-in was held. Action by the government and corporations to stop this climate emergency is being demanded! 

No Halloween on a Dead Planet

Extinction Rebellion (XR) PDX held a Halloween protest march, and the Raging Grannies were there.

After the march, the group engaged in disruptive civil disobedience, blocking SE Hawthorne Street. The Grannies supported from the sidewalk.
