The Quadraphonnes will play new arrangements of protest songs at the Bread and Roses: Poetry for the 99% event. The other featured band will be Psychic Poppies. Food and beverages available.
Join us for a celebration of music and poetry that represents the people! Bring your own spoken word poetry, or music and sign up for the open mic at the door. This event is for the workers, neighbors, organizers and artists and for anyone pushing back against exploitation, fascism, and systems that ask us to stay small and silent. Portland knows. We take care of each other and we don’t stay silent!
