Also, videos of the Direct Actions that have been happening at the Fiddler Timber Sale during March and April. This collection will include the highly inspiring All Women's Blockade. Like all PDX Indymedia Video Collective event, admission is FREE.

It's a Beautiful Pizza on SE 34th & Belmont

You never know precisely what you'll see. Pickle-making. Queer revolutionaries. Street eye views of peaceful protests that corporate news reports as riots. It's imperfect. Always free. It's people reporting their own news and their own views because they want to and because they can. Come see Videos from the Resistance and witness how beautiful that can be. (Did we mention that it's free?)
