Hitler On Portland Fluoride Vote

Title: Hitler On Portland Fluoride Vote
Runtime: 4:09
Description: Adolf weighs in on the public's vote on Measure 26-151 to fluoridate the water. B Media's position on fluoride: B Media's core beliefs are rooted in the power and necessity of transformative, community-led change. As a result, we fundamentally disagree with Measure 26 --151 requiring the fluoridation of Portland's public water system because it 1) was mandated by city council without intentional space for democratic discussion 2) creates adverse externalities in the environment , and 3) is a superficial "cure" to Portland's oral health problem. The fluoridation of Portland's water system sets a dangerous precedent for unilateral decision making without public consent, for the continued and irreversible manipulation of natural resources by man, and for skewing and avoiding the real cure for oral health problems --universal free health care. Our bottom line: Cavities roots are in capitalism and corn syrup. Treat the poverty system, not the water system.

Day 3 La Grande and Ontario

Title: Day 3 La Grande and Ontario
Runtime: 1:22
Description: Our first event of the day was a rally at Congressman Walden's office with our allies at Oregon Rural Action. We arrived in full force with colorful banners and chants of "Walden, escucha,estamos en la lucha!" A small group met with Walden's congressional aide, asking for a statement denouncing the arson at Trinity Episcopal, and sharing stories about our mission for immigration reform. Dozens of local community members joined us for a brief march and rally with press coverage outside of the Congressman's office. We then headed to Ontario, where we united with 250 local community members at the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. With the Trinity Episcopal arson still on our mind, our Ontario hosts joined us for a group photo with 3 signs saying "ONE WITH TRINITY." We joined forces to march around a central park in town, and heard stories from local families, as well as bus riders driving home the need for immigration reform and drivers' license restoration. With an all-volunteer crew, our hosts in Ontario pulled together this huge event, feeding 300 people with handmade tortillas, pasta and rice. Our nightly reflection today again revolved around the arson at Trinity Episcopal Church in Bend. We are proud of the statement released today to the press from the March for ONE Oregon. We have been left with a heightened sense both of the seriousness of our mission, and the need to have airtight security. Our internal committee structure among bus riders has worked well to keep a sense of collaboration, support, and organization while on the bus, though we reaffirm the importance of our vigilance and discipline in keeping our riders and host communities safe. We closed with a statement from Ramon Ramirez, President of PCUN Farmworkers Union: "The Trinity Episcopal Church is now all of our church. That church of the symbol of peace and of bridge building for us and our movement. All of us have to be thinking about how to raise up this church. Not only physically where the damage is easiest to repair, but by carrying the church on our hearts from here forward."

Get smart about ALEC #F29

Title: Get smart about ALEC #F29
Runtime: 1:38
Description: On February 29th, Occupy Portland calls for a national day of non-violent direct action to reclaim our voices and challenge our society?s obsession with profit and greed by shutting down the corporations. We are rejecting a society that does not allow us control of our future. We will reclaim our ability to shape our world in a democratic, cooperative, just and sustainable direction. We call on people to target corporations that are part of the American Legislative Exchange Council which is a prime example of the way corporations buy off legislators and craft legislation that serves the interests of corporations and not people. They used it to create the anti-labor legislation in Wisconsin and the racist bill SB 1070 in Arizona among so many others. They use ALEC to spread pro big business laws around the country.

Criminales Todos

Title: Criminales Todos
Runtime: 11:32
Description: The interviews were filmed in part for CRIMINALES TODOS, a travelling community art exhibit aiming to inspire an ongoing dialogue and examination of the social, political and cultural issues related to the criminalization of communities of color. From post-Civil War vagrancy laws targeting newly freed African Americans in the South, to police rounding up Japanese Americans and sending them to internment camps during WWII, to SB1070 targeting Latinos in Arizona; the history of police targeting communities of color has deep roots in American history. In times of increased police surveillance, tightened border control and the implementation of anti-immigrant and racist laws across the country, we encourage artists to engage in a conversation about the devastating repercussions of policing and the militarization in our local communities.
