HAPPENINGS Retirees group will discuss tax reform at free forum Rising costs for housing and health care are among the most notable de- mands on fixed income retirees. Some two-thirds have little or no re- tirement savings and are relying on public programs to survive. With Oregon’s population 65 years and older expected to nearly double by 2030, that will place more demands on those public services. The Ore- gon Alliance for Retired Americans Education Fund is hosting a free seminar to talk about how tax re- form can possibly help bring some relief. Guest speakers are Chuck Sheketoff, executive director of the Oregon Center for Public Policy, and Daniel Morris, research director for Our Oregon. ■ Time: Thurs., Feb. 9, 9 am-noon ■ Place: Oregon Labor Center, 3645 SE 32nd Ave. Portland.

Lucy was with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., during the 1968 strike by AFSCME sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee. Honey is the author of several books about black working people’s history and King’s ties to organized labor.

James Lawson. ■ Time: Wed., Feb. 15, 6-8 p.m. ■ Place: UO White Stag Building, 70 NW Couch, Portland Faith Labor Breakfast Feb. 21 at St. Andrew Church The 15th Annual Jobs with Justice Faith Labor Breakfast will be held at 7:15 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21, at St An- drew Catholic Church, 806 NE Al- berta Ave. Cost is $15.
