In 2012, Strike Debt arose from a coalition of Occupy groups looking to build popular resistance to all forms of debt imposed by the banks. As individuals, families, and communities, most of us are drowning in debt to Wall Street for the basic things we need to live, like housing, education and healthcare, keeping us isolated, ashamed, and afraid. We want an economy where our debts are to each other, not to the 1%.
Strike Debt harnessed this momentum by hosting debtors’ assemblies — large gatherings where debtors come and learn about the debt system, share their debt testimonies, and participate in conversation around ideas for community action!
Join us as community members discuss, address, and envision a world without debt!
Hosted by Strike Debt Portland and We Are Rockwood. Founded February 2013 by four friends in the Rockwood community, We Are Rockwood is a grassroots, Rockwood resident member-driven group developing a solid, collective voice of all Rockwood neighbors to achieve their most basic needs.
