Members of CPUSA are dedicated to helping advance the day-to-day struggles of the working class and all people on the road to a socialist USA. In Portland we organized around healthcare, housing, peace, anti-ICE, rising utility costs, labor organizing, policing, and more!
On Saturday we held our annual Club Convention to review the work of the past year, plan our upcoming year, and elect leadership.

The Portland Club holds monthly book clubs - many of them go over books on this list. We also have an internal statewide study group. Keep an eye out for those - and join the Communist Party to put theory into practice!

The Oregon District has compiled our suggested reading list! This goes from introducing the concepts to people completely new to Marxism Leninism to more advanced study for those that are well versed. We also included non-book media to enjoy.
INTRODUCTION
- Blackshirts and Reds, Parenti
- Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, Engels
- State and Revolution, Lenin
- Elementary Principles of Philosophy, Georges Politzer
- Road to Socialism USA, Communist Party USA
- The Long Transition towards Socialism, Torkil Lauesen
We will be enjoying some classic science fiction and discussing themes of colonialism, capitalism, and survival in an increasingly fascist world. You do not have to have read the book in order to attend. The discussion will be productive regardless. We hope to see you there!
Come discuss The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury through a communist lense on Saturday, February 21st, from 2 to 3:30 PM. This event will take place at the Holgate Public Library in large community room 1B.
We'll have numerous Party members, tenant organizers, discussion group leads, art builds, and other tables set up to discuss ongoing projects - or you can bring something you want to brainstorm and get started in your community!
No strict agenda, feel free to drop in/out.
On Sunday the 15th from 12-4PM we are hosting the first COW - Community Organizing Workshop at 122 NW Couch St! There will be art builds, discussions around tenant organizing, neighborhood organizing, education, anti-ICE work, and much more.
The crowd was non-threatening and was only trying to make their voices heard. Protestors outraged about ICE murders and violence saw firsthand that no one is safe from the domestic terror. The escalation from ICE is unacceptable and yesterday's events only strengthen our resolve
Yesterday our Club joined over a thousand peaceful protesters made up of parents, union members and leaders, children, and other peaceful protestors.
ICE responded violently by tear gassing the crowd, which included children, elderly, and the disabled.

We've joined campaigns against rising militarization via Fleet Week, gathered signatures to lower a PGE rate hike, engaged in Rapid Response and ICE watch programs, and are currently primarily working on Health Care For All, anti-ICE organizing, and anti-war organizing.
We passed out flyers and built consciousness & community as Portland came together over the weekend to express our grief at this murder and our rage against the perpetrators. Solidarity forever. People and planet before profits.
On January 7th ICE agents in Minneapolis brutally murdered Renee Nicole Good, and two more people were shot right here in Portland the day after. These acts of violence were despicable and predictable as ICE is allowed free reign to enact violence on anybody they see fit.
We condemn ICE, we condemn this fascist MAGA government, and we stand in solidarity with all those who are impacted by ICE and who are involved in the struggle against ICE. This weekend our members attended several vigils and rallies in solidarity with Renee Nicole Good.
