Excited is an understatement for how ready we are to celebrate with our community in just 6 hours and 15 minutes! (Yes, we’re counting down!)

The food has been ordered, the drinks are ready to pour, and our outfits are steamed and pressed! The RSVPs have been flying in and we are slowly approaching capacity. Thanks again for registering ahead of time - it has been incredibly helpful to us. If you haven’t yet, please register today! Our RSVP form will close in a few hours. We will have a limited capacity to process payment at the door - cash and Venmo are our only forms of accepted payment - and cost of admission will be higher. We also want to take a moment to thank our sponsors: Hotel Vance, Amazon, and Comcast for all of their support in making this showcase a reality! Our sponsors are instrumental in our success and we are forever grateful.

Of course, none of this could even be possible with our biggest supporters of all - YOU! Our OMPA community is really the best and we can’t wait to spend some time together tomorrow.

Want some plans for this weekend?
Head over to PAMCUT for an amazing documentary!

Our very own Nisha Burton, film extraordinaire, is premiering her documentary this Saturday. Over the Kitchen Table which reveals the untold story of how her mother Norma Burton was involved in building the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence from grassroots organizing in the 1970s-80s – facing death threats, bombs, and violent opposition while creating a blueprint for resistance movements that remains urgently relevant today. In an era of systematic rollbacks of hard-won rights, Burton’s film demonstrates how small groups of determined people meeting around kitchen tables can create lasting institutional change. The screening will also include Portland filmmaker Courtney Ross’s short film Again and Again, a portrait of the tireless work of a domestic violence advocate and the people she serves. Following both films there will be a panel discussion with Norma Burton along with Nisha, producers of both films, and representatives from the Domestic Violence Resource Center and Bradley Angle.
