Village Building Convergence Volunteers Needed!

Hi Everyone!

City Repair's Ninth Village Building Convergence is coming up on June 5th to the 14th! It is a huge event in which volunteers from all over the states and the rest of the world come together to create beautiful community spaces throughout the Portland area. This work includes intersection paintings and beautification, building communal cob structures, community gardens, communal saunas and depaving. At night we all come together to listen to eat local and organic food, listen to speakers like Starhawk and Toby Hemmingway, and then dance to funky groovy music like Jujuba and Alpaca!
