Join us and community partners for a community forum featuring Mike German of the Brennan Center for Justice and a local panel speaking on FBI spying and Portland's local efforts to keep the police from dedicating full-time officers to the Task Force. The presentation will be followed by an audience Q&A. Mr. German formerly worked for the FBI and quit after trying to blow the whistle on "deficiencies in FBI counter-terrorism operations."
