How would We The People design and implement a plan which cuts Portland’s car use by 80% within 20 years?

With: Paul Cienfuegos

The emerging scientific consensus is that the U.S. needs to cut its greenhouse gases by 70-90% within 10 to 20 years, or the world faces unbelievable climatic disruption. Car culture is one of the leading contributors. In this workshop, we will practice acting and thinking like We The People, as we collectively imagine how Portland’s transportation systems will have to be fundamentally transformed. How will we end dependence on private cars? What will we replace car culture with, and how will it be funded? We’ll develop a 5, 10, and 15-year timeline to get us where we need to go. Are We The People? We’ll find out!

When: Friday, June 4th from 2 - 4pm Where: St. David's Church of Wales at 2800 SE Harrison St. Portland, Oregon. Cost: $10 - 20
