​Make friends who care about stuff at Soapbox Portland, the city's most fun community space for climate action! Plant-based dinner is included.

​We're having a party for people who care about the planet. Same time, same place, every week. You're invited. Every event we put on includes dinner, facilitation, and vibes. Soapbox Project believes finances should never act as a barrier for folks to participate in our events. Please select the ticket price that best suits your financial situation or reach out for a free ticket (no questions asked) by emailing sam@soapboxproject.org. P.S. This ticket is tax-deductible and can be matched by your employer (and as a small nonprofit, we need all the help we can get).

​Request a reparative ticket here if you need one.

​Every first Tuesday of the month, Soapbox Project presents Dream Sessions, an evening of food, live music from a diverse range of local artists, conversations, and new connections.

​​This month, our theme is corporate accountability. Corporations affect all aspects of our lives. In a time when the balance of power is shifting more rapidly than most of us could have imagined, how will we shape the future, especially as it relates to corporations, climate change, and our social fabric?

• ​7-8 pm | the vibes will continue; pick up the conversation with new people and make friends

​​Please arrive by 5:30pm so you have time to eat before the programming begins.
