SUMMARY:Rally! Take Back Congress’s Constitutional Authority to Declare War
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, June 21\, after 9 days of war between Israel and Iran\, President Trump bombed three nuclear sites in Iran\, effectively entering the US as a party to the war. \nTrump’s strikes violated international law and destroyed the fragile trust that had been built between the U.S. and Iran — and made diplomacy harder\, not easier. As with the Iraq War\, these strikes are based on faulty intelligence and fear-mongering. Trump started this war — now Congress must stop it before more lives are lost. \nAmericans don’t want this war. Lawmakers have a choice to make: will they side with the people they represent\, or align with a warmongering minority intent on dragging us into disaster? \nThat is why Peace House is calling on Representative Cliff Bentz to uphold the Constitution and support House Concurrent Resolution 38. The resolution condemns President Trump’s violation of the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Act of 1973\, and requires that any hostilities with Iran be explicitly authorized by a declaration of war. \nWe’ll gather at Vogel Plaza\, then we’ll proceed to field office of U.S. Representative Cliff Bentz at 14 N. Central Ave.\, Medford\, around 10:15 a.m. \nBring signs! No War With Iran\, No Illegal Wars\, Yes to HCR 38

SUMMARY:A Public Art Unveiling honoring Lorraine Hansberry and Black Lives
DESCRIPTION:A landmark cultural moment in Ashland: the unveiling of one of the city’s first Playwright’s Plaques\, honoring legendary playwright Lorraine Hansberry and commemorating Black lives lost to racial injustice — including local youth Aidan Ellison\, is timed just after Juneteenth. \nThis public ceremony marks a significant step in Ashland’s effort to uplift voices of social justice and Black artistry through lasting\, visible art.

Initiated by community members and supported by local institutions\, the project aims to honor playwrights and significant cultural figures. Each plaque features a quote from the honoree\, serving as a lasting tribute to their contributions to the arts and society. Ashland News \nAbout the Public Arts Advisory Committee:\nThe Public Arts Advisory Committee (PAAC) is a volunteer group appointed by the Ashland City Council to advise on matters related to public art in Ashland. The committee works to enhance the city’s cultural landscape through the promotion and support of public art initiatives.

SUMMARY:No Kings Rally
DESCRIPTION:Donald Trump is planning a military parade in Washington\, D.C. for his birthday on June 14. This display of might is intended to intimidate opponents and solidify his image as a strongman on our dime—we won’t stand by while that happens. Instead of allowing this military parade to be the center of gravity\, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption. \nThird Act is proud to partner with Indivisible\, Public Citizen\, Social Security Works\, and other groups in this effort. This country doesn’t belong to a king — and we’re not letting him throw himself a taxpayer-funded parade while slashing our rights and programs our families depend on. Sign up at NO KINGS to take the pledge to show up on June 14 and be the first to get updates\, tools\, and ways to take action. \nOur role is to bring the power and wisdom of elders to this movement\, making sure our voices are heard loud and clear to protect our democracy and our rights. We aim to promote and mobilize attendance at these events across the country. \nIf you want to get inspired for June 14\, check out this “No Kings then or now” call on May 9\, 4 – 5:30 pm ET with historian Heather Cox Richardson\, MA Attorney General Andrea Campbell\, and Congressman Jamie Raskin. \nA core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. \nMeet Indivisible for the NEXT BIG RALLY along McAndrews Road in Medford. Our goal is to double our numbers from April 5\, having a line of protesters stretching from Biddle Road to Crater Lake Avenue.

SUMMARY:Music & Song: ‘Be a Light’ for Peace\, Justice\, the Earth
DESCRIPTION:The Rogue Valley Peace Choir — now celebrating its 22nd year — is presenting a concert entitled Be a Light. The choir — directed by Rob Griswell-Lowry and accompanied by Mikiko Petrucelli — is a community\, secular choir dedicated to building peace\, equality\, social justice\, and stewardship of our planet through song. The concert’s Be a Light theme is inspired by one of the songs in the choir’s repertoire that encourages people not to “hide in the dark\,” but to be a light in a world full of hate\, to be peace in a time full of war\, and to make a difference where change is needed. Other songs in the repertoire express the choir’s passion for recognizing the connection to everyone in our community and beyond; for supporting social justice\, diversity and self acceptance; and for treading lightly on our Mother Earth. While the concerts are free\, donations of any amount are welcome\, with a suggested donation of $15 for adults; no one will be turned away. Donations support the choir’s ability to perform for free at schools\, senior homes\, and community events throughout the year. See more about the choir and its staff.

SUMMARY:Music & Song: ‘Be a Light’ for Peace\, Justice\, the Earth
DESCRIPTION:The Rogue Valley Peace Choir — now celebrating its 22nd year — is presenting a concert entitled Be a Light. The choir — directed by Rob Griswell-Lowry and accompanied by Mikiko Petrucelli — is a community\, secular choir dedicated to building peace\, equality\, social justice\, and stewardship of our planet through song. The concert’s Be a Light theme is inspired by one of the songs in the choir’s repertoire that encourages people not to “hide in the dark\,” but to be a light in a world full of hate\, to be peace in a time full of war\, and to make a difference where change is needed. Other songs in the repertoire express the choir’s passion for recognizing the connection to everyone in our community and beyond; for supporting social justice\, diversity and self acceptance; and for treading lightly on our Mother Earth. While the concerts are free\, donations of any amount are welcome\, with a suggested donation of $15 for adults; no one will be turned away. Donations support the choir’s ability to perform for free at schools\, senior homes\, and community events throughout the year. See more about the choir and its staff. The concert will be repeat at 3 p.m. Sunday\, May 18\, at First United Methodist Church\, 175 N. Main St.\, Ashland.

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. Taylor Stewart will share about how the search for an answer to this question transformed his life and taught him the potential to find true justice for Oregon’s history of racial injustice. \n“This story is not just about reconciliation; it’s about finding a way to heal and foster hope in our communities\,” Stewart explains. “By confronting these painful narratives\, we can begin to foster understanding and pave the way for a more just future.” \nGabrielle Johnsen\, founder of Grants Pass Remembrance (from Sundown to Sunrise) and Community Engagement Director of ORP\, will join the discussion. A Q&A session will follow. \nPlease register for the event.
