Weird Portland United is a non-profit organization which envisions a Portland devoid of barriers where citizens feel free to take risks, find success through living to their full creative potential, and take pride in their unique way of doing things.

WPU discovers, promotes and nurtures the dreamers, creators, risk-takers that Keep Portland Weird. In the face of rapid change they protect and lead Portland’s culture so that all Portlanders, from natives to newcomers, can contribute to our city’s now famous culture of weird.

Interviewed are two board members of the organization, Sara Badiali and Aaron Cronan. Listen to their creation stories for WPU, what their roles are in advocating for eccentricity, and in what kind of memorable and unexpectd ways WPU is affecting the community.
