Portland Parent Union's Social Justice Art Gathering (Painting)

 The Theme this year is Educate Students, Stop Arrests!   Join us as DSC members and allies hold events and actions across the country. From October 19th to 27th, DSC members in more than 20 states will host events as part of their 10th Annual National Week of Action Against School Pushout. Under the banner of ‘Educate Students, Stop Arrests.’ local and community-based organizations will hold rallies, teach-ins, community forums, unveil murals, lead marches and more; taking a stand against punitive, zero-tolerance discipline policies and calling for the end of the regular presence of police officers in schools.

Portland Parent Union and Parents Across America PPU and PAA will be holding a Sip and Paint Party. The cost is $25.00 adults $10.00 (Children 10 and under).  We will provide the canvas, aprons, gloves, the art, and all paint supplies. If you book 10 or more from your group/Org. and (paid at once) $5.00 per person discount will kick in. Fee would be $20.00.

Food and Beverages will be served by the host Parents Across America.

We do not charge for our events. The Fees Are reserved for the art supplies and compensating the art facilitator.  You will go home with a great piece of art (on canvas). We hope will remind you each time you view to Push Back on the system for creating an environment of Push Out of black and brown students.

The T-Shirts we hand out every year and Food and Beverage are always free.

This year we will paint sitting in a circle to express our thoughts and ideas on canvas. This year a visual statement instead of a verbal one. Please join us. The Painting Class will be facilitated by PW's Creative You. Paris Warren

For those who are not participating in the art circle. There will be a talking circle section Which we call a "Trust Building Circle". It is a continuation of what we are engaged in for the last three years.

We will also engage in a community paint. One big piece of canvas where everyone will add to the message why Counselors not Cops in Schools.
