SUMMARY:How do you reconcile a lynching? A story of justice and redemption.
DESCRIPTION:This event will focus on the legacy of Alonzo Tucker\, Oregon’s most widely documented African American victim of lynching\, and how his memory has inspired a movement for historical reconciliation.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the Release of Leonard Peltier
DESCRIPTION:Join Leonard Peltier’s son\, Chauncey Peltier\, and for a community potluck\, singing\, drumming\, flute music\, and dancing to honor Leonard Peltier’s release from Federal imprisonment. Leonard Peltier\, an American Indian activist\, was imprisoned for nearly half a century after he was convicted for the 1975 killings of two FBI agents. President Joe Biden commuted Peltier’s sentence following decades of community-led advocacy calling his imprisonment an example of the U.S. government’s mistreatment of Native Americans. The commutation is not a pardon for crimes committed\, a decision some of Peltier’s advocates welcomed since he has always maintained his innocence. Peltier\, who is now 80 and of declining health\, will transition to home confinement. The celebration is sponsored by Southern Oregon Indian Center; Takelma Cultural Center; Multicultural Association of Southern Oregon; Table Rock Foundation; and Red Earth Descendants.

SUMMARY:Election 2024: What does it mean for climate action?
DESCRIPTION:Submitted by SOCAN \nElections always have consequences. This is especially the case for our potential to address\nthe climate crisis when some candidates for office accept the science of global warming and it\nclimate change consequences while others display something between skepticism and outright\nrejection of science. From the local to the national level the outcomes from the 2024 general\nelection will indicate profoundly whether meaningful action is likely. \nThe Southern Oregon Climate Action Now November General Meeting will focus on an\nexploration of what the election results mean for climate action in the near future. Special guest\nand notable climate champion State Representative Pam Marsh will offer insight regarding what\nthe election outcome means for climate action as we approach the 2025 long session.\nAdditionally\, SOCAN co-facilitator. Alan Journet will explore what the results mean for federal\naction\, Denise Krause will discuss what results mean for the Jackson County Board of\nCommissioners and SOCAN co-facilitator Kathy Conway will do likewise for regional city\nelection results. \nThe meeting is free and open to the public and will occur from 6:00 – 7:30 on Tuesday\nNovember 26 th at the Medford Public Library\, 205 S Central Ave\, Medford.

SUMMARY:Homelessness in Our Region: Jefferson Center Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Echo Fields\, retired SOU professor of sociology\, will join the Jefferson Center for a discussion of Homelessness in our Region. The discussion will focus on key issues relating to homelessness. \nThese include: problems in gathering reliable data on the homeless population; how this information relates to stereotypes about homelessness arising from stigma\, emotion\, and punitive impulses; what needs to change in our social systems in order to implement solutions to homelessness; and what kinds of actions individuals and non-profit organizations might undertake. \nBlaming and trying to change homeless individuals is unlikely to resolve the problem\, and such approaches let “comfortable people” off the hook for the need for system changes. Changing these intersecting social systems takes time and requires collaboration among government\, non-profit organizations and citizen volunteers. \nHow do we get there? The program will be held in the Jefferson Center space\, suite 101\, in the Old Armory Building\, 208 Oak St.\, in Ashland. Light refreshments will be served. This event is free and open to the public. If you have questions\, please contact Tony Davis (tonydavis0@ gmail.com).

SUMMARY:Reshaping our Malfunctioning World – Change is in the Air
DESCRIPTION:A webinar to tackle head-on some of the troubling questions raised by the virtual impotence of the UN in the face of terrible wars\, senseless\, bloodshed and war crimes. Similarly\, with the almost complete disregard of international law by governments right across the spectrum. \nThis is an international event. Please note the very early morning time for the Pacific Time region. \nWhat we’re focusing on is: where to from here? What might be promising new approaches\, new ideas\, new initiatives – ways of reforming the UN system. \nThe webinar brings together a diverse and uniquely equipped group of intellectuals and practitioners for a lively\, thought-provoking\, even provocative conversation. \nFollowing the four presentations we will distil a strategic direction for future engagement with the focus on concrete initiatives that SHAPE\, together with other civil society organizations and perhaps some like-minded governments and international agencies\, can pursue in coming months and beyond. \nWe want to spell out a new direction\, but also point to the steps needed along the way. How do we create the necessary momentum for change? Where can we expect leadership to come from? What energies and resources can be brought to bear on such an enterprise? \nWe are delighted that Dr Grace Pandor will be a key contributor to this discussion. \nDr. Pandor is a remarkable South African educator\, academic and politician. She served as  South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation 2019-2024 and led the country’s historic genocide case of December 2023 brought against Israel in the International Court of Justice; she was an ANC MP since majority rule in 1994\, and held several ministerial responsibilities. She was responsible for a complete overhaul of the nation’s education system. \nAdditional speakers include: \nRichard Falk\, Grace Naledi Pandor\, Hans von Sponeck\, and Vijay Prashad. \nRegister Here  \n
