People, Power, Progress: Celebrating 40 years with MPA!

If you haven't heard, this year MPA is celebrating a BIG milestone: we’re turning 40 years old!

We've had so many memorable moments over the years, from big victories to tough setbacks and every small moment in between, and we want to take this opportunity to celebrate where we've been and look forward to where we’re going in the next 40 years. So we’re having a party and you’re invited!

Please join us on Friday, September 23 at Thompson's Point in Portland to celebrate 40 years of People, Power, and Progress with MPA. There will be music, art, food, and community as we celebrate all that we've accomplished together and get excited for our big plans for the future.

We want as many people to be able to celebrate with us and we don't want the cost of a ticket to be a barrier. Discounted tickets can be made available by request, you can click here to learn more.

There are many ways to support our celebration including ad and event sponsorship opportunities.

COVID-19 protocol: We are aware of the shifting nature of the ongoing pandemic and sensitive to the members of our community who are high risk. In addition to hosting our party in a well-ventilated location with outdoor space, we are asking people to provide proof of vaccination at the door. If you are unable to provide that, we will have rapid COVID tests and masks available. Thank you!
