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

SUMMARY:Online forum on the Jackson County Deflection Program Sept 26
DESCRIPTION:A comprehensive treatment-centered approach \nIn November 2020\, Oregon voters passed Ballot Measure 110. \nIt decriminalized use or possession of small amounts of specific drugs that included heroin\,\nmethamphetamine\, oxycodone and others. Measure 110 had problems due to lack of resources\nand other issues. \nIn response to public backlash\, Measure 110 was amended by Oregon House Bill 4002 in 2024.\nHB 4002 repealed the drug decriminalization portion of Measure 110\, however\, it included a\nnumber of provisions to better address the state’s addiction crisis\, including “deflection”\nprograms. \nJackson County has opted to create a deflection program. \nAs our Representative Pam Marsh has stated\, the Deflection Program “will provide individuals\nwho are found with possession with multiple pathways to connect with treatment and avoid\nlong term legal consequences\, including jail or a criminal record.” \nThe deflection program is currently being created and will go into effect October 7\, 2024.\nTo find out what to expect\, we invite you to an online public forum joining legislators\, health\nproviders and law enforcement officials (see attachment). Bring your questions!

SUMMARY:Event: Wonder by the Wayside: Indigenous\, Edible\, and Medicinal Plants of Southern Oregon by Roland Smith
DESCRIPTION:Wonder by the Wayside: Indigenous\, Edible\, and Medicinal Plants of Southern Oregon by Roland Smith \nFREE ADMISSION – 1757 Ashland St.\, Ashland\, OR. One mile west of I-5 Exit 14 \nIn age of technology and industry\, most of us have lost our connection with nature we see it as scenery\, a picture a\, post just the background to our busy lives. Sure\, we all do things to try to reconnect like walk in the park go for hikes \,take a nice long drive observing the Flora and the Fauna. But do any of us really know what magic and wonder grows alongside of us?! \nThere’s a certain curiosity that arises in all of us. Something of the soul I believe wanting to reconnect. The aim of this lecture is to hopefully invoke wonder and curiosity that resides all of us. \nExploring some of the native plants and herbs in southern Oregon\,I came to the realization anyone with a smartphone can go out\, explore for themselves\, and get enthralled with the magic by our wayside. Reconnecting the soul and the body to Mother Nature \nI personally forage and work with the medicinal properties of most of these plants. I would love to share the opportunity to ignite that spark for others by sharing this information and empowering others with knowledge. \nRoland Smith\, educator & owner at the Witch and the Alchemist Apothecary in Ashland\, OR. The apothecary is all about connecting to spirit\, connecting to nature\, connecting to oneself\, remembering again what it’s like to see magic in the world we live in\, to believe that beyond the state in which we view life is something far more miraculous. To provide the means by which wellness & enlightenment can prosper.

SUMMARY:Northwest Forest Plan Amendment Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance to host webinar on Northwest Forest Plan Amendment. \nOn August 30th\, the US Forest Service will release the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed changes to the Northwest Forest Plan. For 30 years\, the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) has guided forest management across the PNW on federal lands. This will be the first amendment to the NWFP in 30 years\, and presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to establish better protections for mature and old growth forests\, meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities and a fighting chance at mitigating the climate crisis. \nAmong the key issues the Forest Service needs to address in the updated Forest Plan are tribal inclusion & fire stewardship and the protection of mature & old growth forests. To ensure the NWFP amendment enables a more just & sustainable future for our forests & communities rather than repeating the mistakes and injustices of the past\, our communities need to speak out & comment on the proposed changes. \nJoin PNFCA Tuesday\, September 10th at noon for a deep dive into these topics and what’s at stake in the NWFP\, and to get resources & information to submit effective public comments. Speakers include Meredith Jacobson\, University of Oregon PhD candidate & member of the FireGen Collaborative\, and Madeline Cowen\, Grassroots Organizer with Cascadia Wildlands. \nThe stakes of the NWFP Amendment are huge–for our last remaining mature & old growth forests\, for the livability of our climate\, for threatened & endangered species\, and improper fire-risk reduction management for forests and communities. \nRegister Here

Hideko’s life story\, told in her book One Sunny Day\, is one of courage and perseverance and serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing threat of nuclear warfare.

It’s a universal tale of resilience\, hope and creating peace in the world. It acknowledges the challenges of loss\, choices\, and the rewards of joining together to rebuild a better life. It can also serve as a healing and empowering story for any young child facing devastation and loss\, or a way for friends and classmates to gain deeper empathy for what others may have experienced. It is now available in English\, Japanese\, Chinese\, and Ukrainian\, with a Russian translation ready to publish. \nIn 2007\, Hideko founded One Sunny Day Initiatives (OSDI)\, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization\, to educate the public about the consequences of the use of nuclear weapons and to plant seeds of peace\, hope and reconciliation among people of the world.

The poems aim to live closer to one’s life.

SUMMARY:Julie Mathison talks about the pros and cons of traditional and indie publishing
DESCRIPTION:Monday July 29th  7:00 to 8:00 pm\n\n\nAward-winning indie author Julie Mathison came to independent publishing after years of pursuing the traditional dream\, securing a top agent\, making the rounds to the “Big Five” of New York publishing houses ~ and ultimately relinquishing that dream for the path less traveled. In an age that increasingly celebrates minority voices\, she has become passionate about the kind of diversity pioneered by small\, micro\, and author presses\, one based on artistic identity ~ a diversity of content\, voice\, and sensibility. This talk will be an exploration of lessons learned from the journey through both worlds. It will examine the pros and cons of the traditional and indie publishing paradigms and will probe how the marketplace shapes our shared literary canon. The author will invite questions\, anecdotes\, and participation from the audience\, writers and readers alike.
