Saturday February 14th, time TBA, our Civic Action Group will hold an Old Town Chinatown neighborhood clean up.

There has been a lot going on in our Old Town Chinatown Neighborhood recently including an increase in drug use and violent behavior. One way we are trying to address this is through building more community, so we are coming together for a clean up.

Your work during the cleanup would be welcome!  Please RSVP to Devin at (503) 222-5694 ext. 16, or e-mail devin @ sistersoftheroad.org.

Please join us for a discussion on Wednesday, February 25th from 12pm - 1:30pm at Multnomah County’s Central Library.

Sisters Of The Road’s Speaker Bureau members and staff will present a reading and discussion of the organization’s research which has been compiled in the book, Voices from the Street: Truths about Homelessness from Sisters Of The Road, consisting of the interviews of 515 homeless individuals residing in Portland, Oregon.  We will also discuss Sisters’ database and the potential use of data for policy makers, community groups, non-profits, universities and students.

Check out coverage of Sisters Of The Road from the Portland Observer. In the week leading up to Sisters’ Martin Luther King, Jr. Day March and Celebration, the Observer gave us a front page story entitled “Drum Majors for Justice” (referencing a famous MLK, Jr. speech made shortly before his assassination) which can be read here.
