We're joined by Portland, Oregon organizers to talk about the revolutionary politics there over the last 25 years and related writings by Don Hamerquist of the Sojourner Truth Organization and Three Way Fight. Among other things we cover the IWW-initiated Burgerville Union, the battle of Longview, Occupy, massive black blocs following the 2020 George Floyd Uprising, state repression, and the mysterious George Sakai.
