Our deep apologies on the late notice - we thought we had invited you last week but had technical difficulties!!  Next Thursday, November 9 you are invited to a Breakfast for the Soul focusing on the police and our community.  Shauna Curphey, Staff Attorney from the Northwest Constitutional Rights Center (NCRC) and Alejandro Queral, Executive Director of NCRC will join us and tell us about the ground-breaking community listening sessions on racial profiling that took place earlier this year as well as the work they are doing with Sisters’ customers and others to know their rights in interactions with police officers and other law enforcement officials. Copwatch’s Dan Handelman will also speak about the recent death of James Chasse, a mentally ill man who died during a police arrest, with an emphasis on what we can do to as citizens and activists.



The Breakfast will be at Sisters at 133 NW Sixth Ave., runs from 7:30 am to 9 am, and is free to all.  (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or by calling (503) 222-5694, ext. 19.

Pardner, the Hoedown and Auction was more fun than a greased piglet race and netted $107,000 for Sisters’ good work!  Thank you so much to everyone who helped out and came and enjoyed.  Click here to read more and take a gander at some wonderful pictures.  We’ll be as happy as a duck on junebug to see you next year at the Hoedown!
