Dear Portland,

Join our community protest against 7 Eleven building it's third store in our neighborhood. The purposed site is two blocks away from our local St. Johns Deli and Grocery store that has been apart of our area since 1979.
We want to draw attention to what we view as a move to push out competing locally owned convenience stores. St. Johns is our home and we want our neighbors' businesses to thrive instead of seeing their doors close due to a take over from Corporate franchises.
We will take to the site where 7 Eleven hopes to build with signs and our voices. This is a non-violent protest all are welcome.

from the
  St. Johns Community
