The event will also commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Beyond Vietnam” speech, which linked unjust social conditions with aggressive U.S. military policy.
It is up to the peace movement to remind the people of Oregon of the costs of war in Iraq, Afghanistan and here at home. To ensure that we bring the troops home now and give returning veterans the support they need.

RSVP • No Escalation in Afghanistan!
Wednesday, December 2nd 2009 5:00pm
President Obama is expected to announce that the US will be sending more troops to Afghanistan on Tuesday night, December 1st. In response, PPRC (Portland Peaceful Response Coalition) is calling for a mobilization.
We must not be silent at this time. An escalation will only mean more death -- US and Afghan – and billions of dollars wasted that should pay for badly needed services here. We must demand an end to the occupation of Afghanistan by the United States. Come stand with the Portland Peace Community, lend your voice for peace.
RSVP • The Blood of My Brother Opens at The Hollywood Theatre in Portland
Multi-Day Event
This searing documentary examines Iraqi resentment towards the heavy-handed tactics of U.S. troops, and the insurgency spawned by that very resentment. The Blood of My Brother recounts the story of a fatherless Shi'ite family whose eldest son Ra'ad is killed by U.S. troops while he is standing guard at a mosque in the Kadhimiya district of Baghdad in April 2004. Ra'ad's younger brother Ibrahim, not yet out of his teens, is immediately thrust into the role of head of household, but first he must come to terms with the death of his older brother. Ibrahim's desire for revenge is tempered by the quotidian reality of providing for his family. It is this subtle dynamic between grief and rage that director Andrew Berends so eloquently explores, while extending it out to encompass the burgeoning culture of militancy found among young Iraqi men. After focusing on Ra'ad's struggle and grief, the film makes a fascinating digression into the world of the Mehdi Army, a Shia insurgency inspired by the demagogic figure of cleric Sayid Moqtada al-Sadr. Berends' camera brings us as close to these militants as we are ever likely to get. We see them weep, sing, and dance-assault rifles raised high-in the mean streets of Sadr City and Najaf. Berends has made an important film that gets closer to the troubles in Iraq than the embedded media ever could.
