​Make friends who care about stuff at Soapbox Portland, the city's most fun community space for climate action!

​We're having a party for people who care about the planet. Same time, same place, every week. You're invited.

​​Small businesses are struggling across the country to stay open with behemoth companies underpricing them to gain market share. With speedy delivery, there's a cost for the local economy and the environment.

​Alex Gamboa Grand from Way of Being is here to tell us about it! She'll educate us on what it's like to be a local business owner, the sort of decisions she makes when building her brand, and how consumers can play a part in strengthening our local economy here in Portland. You'll leave this event with an understanding of what you can do in the short- and long-term (and next week at our ACT night, you can put this into practice)!

​Our plan

• ​5-6PM: Chomp & chat. Grab a plant-based meal (dinner is included) and a new friend

• ​6-7PM: Q&A and discussion co-hosted with Alex Gamboa Grand; questions provided by YOU! This will be educational, interactive, and fun.

• ​7-8PM: Peer learning & more mingling
