Free Legal Sercices and Expungement Clinic
A criminal record creates barriers to housing and employment, perpetuating a cycle of poverty for people in recovery involved with the criminal justice system. Unfortunately, clearing one’s record can be expensive, costing in excess of $3,000. That’s why we are thrilled to partner with Clear Clinic to offer this monthly free legal services and expungement clinic, where all services are offered free of charge.

Community Reading Series
In partnership with Tin House, The Alano Club Community Reading Series is a monthly open-mic for writers of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and hybrid genres, generously hosted by Portland’s premier queer-owned and operated bookstore, Bishop & Wilde. This structured yet unscripted gathering is an occasion to share works in-progress and experience the rich overlap of Portland’s literary and recovery communities. While readers are not required to self-identify as being in recovery, we will maintain a sober-friendly environment for all sessions. We encourage readers of all experience levels to sign up for a guaranteed reading slot of 10 minutes or less, though two slots per session are reserved for first-time readers!
Sound Bath
Join the Alano Club and PUSH Movement the second Saturday of each month for a free sound bath led by Anahata Beatspeaker!

The Break
The Break is a monthly virtual gathering of writers and artists lead by Kaveh Akbar, celebrating amongness, collaboration, and interdisciplinary creative experimentation. Though many of the activities and discussions orbit or are inflected by recovery themes (Akbar has been in active recovery for eight years), participants are not required to self-identify as being in recovery to participate. Over the quarantine, The Break has had several guest instructors as well, with graphic novelist Erin Williams leading recovery-based drawing activities, memoirist Leslie Jamison leading essay writing, and poet Angel Nafis playing poetry games with the group. Regular attendees often share major life and creative developments, and the group continues to grow both in headcount and in pedagogical conceit!
Kaveh Akbar is a poet, writer, teacher and the poetry editor for The Nation. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, New York Times, Paris Review, Poetry, Best American Poetry, and elsewhere. His New York Times bestselling debut novel, Martyr! was published by Knopf in 2024; he is also the author of the poetry collections Pilgrim Bell (Graywolf, 2021), Calling a Wolf a Wolf (Alice James, 2017), and Portrait of the Alcoholic (Sibling Rivalry, 2016). Kaveh was born in Tehran, Iran, and teaches at Purdue University and in the low-residency MFA programs at Randolph and Warren Wilson Colleges.
