Greetings IWW members,
This is a call for union members to help out an IWW shop in Portland, OR, the Red & Black Cafe. Last evening, someone threw a brick through one of the cafe windows with a hate message attached. Our fellow workers at the cafe, which is collectively owned and operated (and an IWW closed shop) need financial assistance in order to get the window replaced as soon as possible.
Please visit the cafe website at http://www.redandblackcafe.com/, where you can make a PayPal donation. Donations by check can be mailed to the cafe at 400 SE 12th Ave., Portland, OR 97214.
This union shop, which is a long time gathering point for the IWW in Portland, has been subjected to several acts of vandalism this year from unknown individuals. The cafe is a gathering space for unionists, anti-capitalists, and the radical community at large in the Portland area. We could use your help!
In solidarity,
Ryan G.
Portland IWW / IWW General Executive Board / Red&Black Cafe worker

Hi, Ryan I was a member of the Portland GMB when I lived out there and I know the Red & Black well. I'm now in the Asheville, NC GMB. I'm broke for about 6 more hours, but I'll send a paypal donation tomorrow. Mark x317284
