Commons Convergence May 7, 2011

 

SE Uplift invites you to join us at the Commons Convergence, a free event for learning, networking, and celebrating the commons! Please share this with your networks, list servs, social media and other communications outreach tools. The Commons Convergence is made up of community groups, non-profits and neighbors like you!  

 

Our local work is part of a national movement to claim our commons—things that belong to all of us and are the basis of our collective well being. Join us for an inspiring afternoon with local and national advocates, dreamers and doers who are re-imagining and bringing to life a just and sustainable world.

When: Saturday, May 7, 1 – 4 p.m., Doors open at 12:30 p.m

Where: St. David's Church, 2800 SE Harrison in Portland
