Activate Portland is more than a gathering. It&rsquo;s a place to meet kindred spirits, exchange ideas, find collaborators, and turn inspiration into meaningful action. Our goal is for you to leave not just feeling energized, but connected to people and possibilities that help you make a difference right where you live. On November 7, we&rsquo;re excited to bring Cameron Whitten, Essence Satterfield, and Mark Lakeman together with our community. Each has spent years working to make Portland a more beautiful, resilient, and inclusive place. Come hear their stories, connect with fellow changemakers, share what you&rsquo;re working on, and discover what we can accomplish together. Portland&rsquo;s future isn&rsquo;t something we have to wait for. We can create it together. Join us for a day of connection with each other and over 20 organizations committed to creating a more beautiful and connected Portland! This exciting day at Tabor Space is filled with opportunities to network, attend workshops, and engage in meaningful discussions that empower our community to take action with a focus on regenerative agriculture, placemaking, social justice, mutual aid, community building, climate resilience, and land tending.
