Share this video with friends and invite them to RSVP! imaginefreedomopening.eventbrite.com*for a Non-Alcohol version, leave out the mezcal and top off with extra sparkling water*Mumia mezcal, nectarine puree, meyer lemon juice, agave Yield: 1 servingSoundtrack: JU$T (featuring Pharell Williams & Zach de la Rocha) by Run the Jewels from RTJ4 I made this simple, delicious cocktail using ingredients found in my home—Meyer lemon from our backyard tree, lemon verbena from our herb garden, and nectarines from a farmers’ market. If you don’t have some ingredients, just substitute (e.g., peaches or other stone fruits to make a puree; a Eureka lemon instead of Meyer; simple syrup instead of agave. I would tell you to use tequila if you don’t have mezcal, but I think this drink requires the latter. The smokiness of mezcal plays beautifully off of the fresh and sweet flavor of the nectarine juice and the bright, floral flavor of the Meyer lemon juice. Omitting the mezcal and topping the drink off with sparkling water makes this a fun cocktail.1/2 ounce agave nectar1 1/2 oz. mezcal3/4 ounce freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice3/4 ounce nectarine puree*sparkling water (optional)3-inch sprig of lemon balmCombine the agave, mezcal, lemon juice, nectarine puree, and a few cubes of ice in a cocktail shaker.

The action grew the showing of solidarity at Oregon State Penitentiary on April 24, and is a part of a nationwide movement demanding the mass release of incarcerated people and the dismantling of the Prison Industrial Complex under the banner of #FreeThemAll.The caravan of cars honked their horns, banged on pots and pans and yelled in solidarity with the people locked up in the Multnomah County Detention Center. The caravan then hushed in unison as Alyssa Pariah (Jobs with Justice, Portland DSA, Don't Shoot Portland) delivered a scathing analysis of the prison industrial complex, and the cultural capacity for the neglect of people who are incarcerated during times of crisis. The crowd participated in 30 seconds of silence to observe the brutality of incarceration and the neglect of people in prisons, jails, and detention centers and ended the action by chanting Free Them All in unison.Find out demands here: www.carenotcops.org/covid19Get involved with Care Not Cops and the #FreeThemAll coalition here: www.carenotcops.org/mainFollow us on social media for real time updates and political education at...CNC Instagram: instagram.com/carenotcopspdxCNC Facebook: facebook.com/carenotcopsCRPDX Instagram: instagram.com/criticalresistancepdxCRPDX Facebook: facebook.com/CriticalResistancePortland
