Public Finance Workshop: Oregon's Revenue System
Please join us for a special civic engagement event exploring public finance and Oregon's revenue system. This event is hosted by Y.G.B. Portland and will feature Oregon House District 36 Representative Akasha Lawrence Spence and Oregon’s Legislative Revenue Officer Chris Allanach. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of Oregon's legislative process and budget, offering the opportunity to ask your burning questions and hear from other constituents.
This event is free and open to the public and will be streamed live at the PCS Links on Youtube, Facebook, and Twitch.
Serving House District 36, Portland’s West Side, in the Oregon House of Representatives, Akasha Lawrence Spence aims to help you navigate the legislative process. It is her goal to ensure that every constituent knows how their legislature works and is engaged in the measures affecting their daily lives. Her office hosts digital information sessions, workshops, and town halls to this end, and loves to hear from the public about any suggestions on how to get us all there.
She encourages everyone to stop by her office at the Capitol in Salem when you visit during any legislative session. Meeting with constituents, hearing personal stories, and listening to people advocate for the needs of fellow community members is one of the most rewarding parts of the job according to Akasha.
Current & Upcoming
Piano Bar with Courtney Freed and David Saffert
Join us for this monthly event with local songstress Courtney Freed and Portland-based pianist David Saffert as they host a good old-fashioned PIANO BAR.
NASSIM
From Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour (creator of the Off-Broadway smash hit White Rabbit, Red Rabbit) comes an audacious new theatrical experiment, presented in collaboration with Boom Arts. Each night, a new, unrehearsed local performer joins the playwright on stage, while the script waits, unseen, in a sealed box... Touchingly autobiographical yet powerfully universal, NASSIM is a striking theatrical demonstration of how language can both divide and unite us.
Coriolanus
Shakespeare’s tragedy about the war hero Coriolanus and the fight between the elite and the deprived masses will be fueled by a dynamic female and non-binary ensemble with a muscular, movement-focused staging.
First Annual 503 Day
Portland's first annual 503 Day. Discounts on tickets, drink specials, and more!
