march2009page11Smile and the whole world smiles with you! Give it a try, starting with your neighborhood vendor who is always happy to see you. The new Street Roots paper comes out March 20, the first day of spring, and a perfect way celebrate is to pick up your copy hot off the press. Here's a sneak peak:
 
The Murnane Wharf: Is it forgotten?

Portland author Michael Munk (The Portland Red Guide) writes
about the man behind the long-neglected Murnane Wharf near the Burnside Bridge.

Francis J. Murnane was a Portland organizer and activist with the longshoreman; the Wharf was named in his honor. But that memory risks being lost to renovations if the city falls back on its promise.
 
street roots, published in Portland, Oregon, has been Portland's flagship publication addressing homelessness and poverty since 1998. The paper is published every two weeks.

We are a nonprofit, 501(c) 3 organization and a member of the North American Street Newspaper Association (NASNA). We have two paid (part-time) staff members.

 

Where does your $1 go?

  • 75% goes to the homeless vendor who works to distribute the paper
  • 20% goes toward the cost of printing
  • 5% goes toward rent and office expenses

We receive additional support from local and regional foundations, individual donations and in-kind contributions.

 
70% of each dollar goes to the vendor
