A newly formed Facebook group is organizing a protest and boycott against BP – which now holds the title as “World’s Most Infamous Corporation.”
The event is Saturday, June 12, at Holladay Park on the south side of Lloyd Center in Portland. Things are scheduled to kick off at 10:00am.
The group is called Progressive Oregon. I don’t know much about them beyond what I see on the Facebook page, but I recognize some of the people posting messages. It’ll be interesting to watch them as they organize around various issues and start showing some muscle.
It’s connected to a Worldwide BP Protest Day that’s also coming together via Facebook.
Were doing it again in Portland on July 10th, 2010. Time and place not yet determined.
