Tickets $15. Tough Shit is an onstage conversation about the most challenging questions Portlanders are facing. We’ll bring together four people with very different experiences of and perspectives on the city to talk through some shit with help from the audience and a moderator. The questions will be tough, and this shit will not be resolved in one night; We expect to leave with more questions than answers, plus some renewed hope for the future. And if not, well….
This edition of Tough Shit features Lorelie Juntunen, President and CEO of the public policy research firm ECOnorthwest; Emi Day, an architect, strategist, and founder of One Day; Michael Larson, a writer, film director, and founder of Humans for Housing; and Alex Stone, a seasoned leader with extensive experience in security, law enforcement, business management, and education. The conversation will be moderated by Adam Davis of Oregon Humanities.
