SUMMARY:Feb 4 Rogue Basin Water Action Community Event
DESCRIPTION:2023 Kick-off Event
 Saturday\, February 4\, 2023 at 9 AM to Noon at the Medford Public Library’s Large Meeting Room\nat 205 S. Central Avenue. \nThe event is free and open to everyone. \nThe Water Action Community flows from the ideas brought forth during SOPA’s Rogue Valley Water Solutions Summit last fall. Water League\, which engages the public Water stewardship\, is collaborating with SOPA to support the next steps that individuals and action groups can take to make a difference in the Rogue Basin. \nMore than 200 people\, including Indigenous wisdom keepers\, panelists from across the state of Oregon\, and citizens concerned for the efficient and beneficial use of the Rogue Valley’s water met over the course of the 6-part Water Solutions Summit series. \nFour action teams (cohorts) emerged from the summit that are critical to the health and well-being of our valley’s water. The format for February 4 will include an examination of “What is” and “What could be.” \nThe action-driven cohorts will explore: \nRights of Nature\, Indigenous Perspectives\, and the Public Trust Doctrine\nFunding\, Legislation\, Water Rights\, and Water Law\nEquity for Aquifers\, Agriculture\, Wetlands and Waterways\nWater Equity for Domestic\, Industrial\, and Commercial Uses \nDuring the Water Action Community – 2023 Launch on February 4\, folks can sign up for one or more cohorts they’d like to join and then enter a breakout session during which each team will meet to: \n\nPlan its regular meeting schedule\,\nBegin formulating its mission and\nBrainstorm a few goals  to achieve to pursue that mission.\n\nWe seek: \n\n Greater community ties based on our relationship with water and a better understanding of the Rights of Nature;\nUnderstanding and adoption of traditional ecological knowledge\, and to support water sovereignty for Indigenous Peoples;\nBetter communication between the community and their decision makers;\nActions that result in greater beneficial uses of water and actions that increase water quality;\nEquity for water users who have experienced injustice;\nProtections for water sources such as groundwater\, aquifers\, headwaters\, surface waters\, wetlands\, springs\, lakes\, and ponds by use of the Public Trust Doctrine\, changes in rules and statutes\, implementation of conservation best practices\, and enforcement of existing water laws;\nTo identify the public interest in all its diversity as it pertains to water with an eye to the public and environmental health\, welfare\, and safety.\n\nWater League will provide the overall support and organization for the four teams all year long and will be available to attend all team meetings to keep a central hub connection\, hear needs and suggestions\, and report on related actions of other teams.

SUMMARY:Is Israel an Apartheid State?
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will look at the topic and the following: \nDoes Israel’s treatment of Palestinians constitute a form of apartheid–the systematic segregation and discrimination of a population on the basis of race\, first put into place in South Africa? Such is the claim of the UN\, Amnesty International\, B’Tselem\, Human Rights Watch\, and journalists from a range of media. The International Criminal Court has labeled apartheid “a crime against humanity.” Two short documentary films explore the separate and distinct laws\, physical infrastructure\, civil systems and military enforcement applied to Palestinians in Israel and in the occupied territories. If this is apartheid\, what is the authority of the UN and the ICC to adjudicate Israel’s violation of international law? Israel’s newly elected right-wing government promises more extreme forms of discrimination\, exclusion\, and violence directed at Palestinian citizens of Israel and in the occupied territories. \nWatch the film for free at your convenience | Join the Q&A Discussion with an expert panel. \nSaleh Hijazi: Former Deputy Regional Direct – MENA at Amnesty International\nMichael Lynk: Author\, Associate Professor of Law at Western University\, former UNHCR Special Rapporteur for Palestinian Territories\nEdwin Arrison: Anglican Priest\, Development Officer – Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation\nJonathan Kuttab (moderator):  Attorney\, author\, Exec.

SUMMARY:Presentation: Medical Response Teams in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Since shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine earlier this year\, the Tigard-based humanitarian relief agency Medical Teams International (MTI) has been on the ground responding to the crisis. As Russia’s aggression continues to cause mass migration\, loss of life\, and destruction\, Medical Teams International continues to provide needed supplies and medical care to refugees crossing into Moldova and to the injured and ill within Ukraine. As Martha Newsome\, President & CEO of MTI recently said\, “the world continues to watch in disbelief and with great sadness\, Ukrainians are struggling to survive amidst the chaos of war.” \nThe situation has seen\, and will continue to see\, increasing volatility — reportedly more than five million refugees have crossed into Ukraine’s neighboring countries of Poland\, Hungary\, Romania\, Moldova\, and other countries since February 2022. With many towns and villages almost completely wiped out\, hotels and homes in western Ukraine bursting at the seams with displaced families seeking safety\, how have on-the-ground workers and volunteers responded to deliver urgent medical and psychological care to refugees? And what is the short- and long-term outlook from those on the frontlines? \nThis presentation will feature Medical Teams International’s Patty Hutton\, Response Specialist\, supporting emergency response in Ukraine\, and Joe DiCarlo\, MTI’s Global Ambassador and member of WorldOregon’s Board of Advisors\, for a look at the current situation and outlook on the crisis in Ukraine. \nAbout the Speakers \nPatty Hutton is currently a Response Specialist at Medical Teams International\, focused on supporting the Ukraine response.  Since 2010\, Patty has served across several response contexts with various international NGOs\, including Iraq\, Haiti (the 2010 earthquake\, Hurricanes Isaac and Matthew)\, Philippines\, South Sudan\, Bangladesh\, Darfur\, Somaliland\, Lebanon\, Greece\, Sudan\, Ethiopia\, and most recently Ukraine. She received her master’s degree in Public Policy from Pepperdine University\, and she also received her PhD in March of this year\, in Organizational Leadership—with her dissertation topic focusing on Humanitarian Fatigue in humanitarian aid leaders. Patty has also spent time working on a presidential campaign and has also spent some time outside of the aid world working with an environmental justice organization. \nJoe DiCarlo is Medical Teams International’s Global Ambassador. When Hurricane Mitch barreled through Central America in 1998\, Joe mobilized a team of medical professionals to help suffering families recover. This was his first assignment – responding to the second-deadliest hurricane in recorded history. Over the course of his 20 years at Medical Teams International\, Joe’s led dozens of disaster responses. Seeing the suffering on a mother’s face is what drives him to help Medical Teams International implement programs that provide for the whole person. He currently serves as Medical Teams’ Global Ambassador\, where he builds faith partnerships both domestically and internationally and provides duty of care services for the staff. \nRSVP Here

SUMMARY:Ruth Ozeki in Conversation with the Hearing Voices Network
DESCRIPTION:The Voices Behind The Book of Form and Emptiness:  \nThursday\, September 29th\, 2022. 6pm-7:30pm (Eastern) \nThe Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki tells the story of a young voice hearer named Benny Oh. The novel is narrated by one of Benny’s voices\, a book that tells the story of Benny’s life. Although Benny experiences mainstream psychiatric care including psychiatric hospitalization\, it is not the medical model that helps Benny make sense of his life. \nLike many voice hearers\, Benny makes meaning out of his experiences through developing relationships with fellow psychiatric survivors and voice hearers\, and through finding ways to relate positively to his own voices. The Book of Form and Emptiness\, which won the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2022\, is a remarkable example of how the core principles and understandings of the Hearing Voices Network approach are reaching new audiences around the world. \nOn Thursday\, September 29th at 6PM Eastern\, join us for a lively conversation with Ruth Ozeki and the Hearing Voices Network USA about the power of our voices and the stories we inhabit. Panelists include: Ruth Ozeki\, Author; Jeannie Bass\, Director of Peer Services and HVN-USA Board member; Claire Bien\, Author\, HVN-USA Board member\, and president\, ISPS-US; Derek Pyle\, Writer and HVN support group facilitator. With thanks to Remy Blasko. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:A Tale of Two Countries: Honduras & Nicaragua Face the Shock Doctrine
DESCRIPTION:Join Alliance for Global Justice for a 75-minute comparison of economic policies and public health systems in Honduras and Nicaragua\, as both countries confront the challenges of global capitalism. How do these nations manage to resist a foreign-controlled extractive economic model – or aggressive attempts to force them “open for business”? How have they confronted the Covid pandemic\, with what results? \nRegister Here  \nSpeakers:\nJennifer Atlee coordinates the Friendship Office of the Americas\, which fosters solidarity among the peoples of Nicaragua\, Honduras\, and the United States. Its Honduras Accompaniment Project works alongside the Honduran nonviolent social movement. She lived in Central America for several decades and wrote a book\, Red Thread; A Spiritual Journal of Accompaniment\, Trauma and Healing\, chronicling her experiences in the contra war zones of Nicaragua. \nDr. James J. Phillips is the author of Honduras in Dangerous Times: Resistance and Resilience (2015) and the recently published Extracting Honduras: Resource Exploitation\, Displacement\, and Forced Migration\, a book that details the frenzied US extraction of Honduran natural resources – leading to massive community displacement\, dependency\, and poverty – in turn encouraging corruption\, violence\, gang recruitment\, drug trafficking\, and systematic repression of popular protest and resistance. He has also written about Nicaragua where he lived for several years during the contra war and has visited many times since. \nJohn Perry has lived and worked in Masaya\, Nicaragua\, for the past 19 years. He has been writing about Honduras since the 2009 coup and currently focuses on the contradictions in US policy toward Central America\, especially Nicaragua. He has been published in a number of journals including The Nation\, London Review of Books\, Counterpunch\, Council on Hemispheric Affairs (COHA)\, and Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR). His webinar presentation will compare public health investments and responses to Covid by Honduras and Nicaragua\, and the resulting health outcomes. \nThis event is part of a monthly webinar series on Nicaragua.

SUMMARY:Trans Storytelling Circle: Grants Pass
DESCRIPTION:Trans* Storytelling Circles\nConnect with other rural trans folks and celebrate trans lives in Southern Oregon!\n\n*Anyone who identifies as part of the trans community and lives or has lived in Southern Oregon is welcome! \nDescription: Trans* community\, let’s get together! The LGBTQ+ Listening Project is hosting a series of story circles to build relationships among trans* folks who live or have lived in southern OR and create more of a sense of community and connection. Given the high level of anti-trans activity happening nationwide\, we want to make space that is nourishing and celebratory. \nWhat is a story circle? A story circle is a group of people sitting in a circle and telling personal stories\, led by a facilitator. We all have stories worth telling and hearing. This is a space to meet each other and celebrate our stories! The themes of the circles will be home\, community\, safety\, transformation and celebration. \n*We are using trans* as a shorthand but this space is inclusive of Two Spirit\, genderqueer\, nonbinary\, etc.\, while recognizing these are separate identities & not all gender diverse people identify as trans. We welcome folks who would benefit from participating in this space. \nWhile we are grateful for community support\, this is not a space for allies/listeners/supportive cisgender community members. Our hope is that these circles will lead to future storytelling projects where we share our stories with our communities in ways that are liberatory and supportive to us. If you would like to collaborate on this\, reach out! \nCOVID-19 Safety: In accordance with state and local guidelines\, we are planning for this to be a mask-optional space. We will be indoors and there will be room to spread out and maintain 6′ distance if that is preferable. Please do let us know if you need something different in order to participate. <3 \nRegister at: BIT.LY/SOTRANSCIRCLES \nYou do not need to register in order to participate\, but if you would like to sign up we would appreciate it.\nEmail eliot@rogueactioncenter.org if you have any questions!
