For the month of April, we share our plate with the Braided River Campaign, a community-based organization dedicated to environmental justice for communities in the North Portland Harbor, from the Broadway Bridge to Sauvie Island. Braided River refers to the natural course of an unchanneled river, a meandering, rich ecosystem for fish and river life. It also refers to the braided interests in that watershed: clean river, fishing, river transport, jobs and industry, livable space with clean air and water.
The activists, artists and organizers continue to champion a community-driven vision of an economic paradigm that centers environmental justice.
