Episode 170 — The Right in the Pacific Northwest Is Organizing: Join Us at the Oregon Event w/Leif

Show notes

At only 19 years old, Leif helped transform a nearly empty online group into a real-world community. What began with three men meeting in Oregon has grown into one of the Pacific Northwest’s most promising annual gatherings—bringing together more than 100 people interested in building friendships, businesses, families and lasting institutions.

In Episode 170 of The Backlash, Leif joins David J. Reilly to preview this year’s Oregon Event, taking place during the first weekend of October and featuring speakers including Jared Taylor, Peter Brimelow and The Distributist.

They discuss the collapse of Portland, the declining energy of Antifa, the failures of the Oregon Republican establishment and the importance of getting offline to form meaningful local networks. Leif also explains how connections made through the event have already produced new businesses, employment opportunities and potential candidates for local office.

Real change will not come from another viral post or another “most important election of our lifetime.” It begins when people meet face-to-face, shake hands and start building for the next generation.
