SUMMARY:Deconstructing Whiteness: Pioneers as Celebrated Figures
DESCRIPTION:For their April Zoom meeting\, Deconstructing Whiteness will focus on the topic Pioneers as Celebrated Figures: What are the Stories We Tell Ourselves? \nFrom Deconstructing Whiteness: \n“As we contemplate sayings such as “the last American frontier”\, “pioneers had it rough and persevered”\, “pioneers made something of this land\, they foraged\, and shaped it from nothing”\, “the founders of the U.S. were great men”\, “how the american west was won”\, “let’s play cowboys and indians”\, “last person on the totem pole”\, etc……let’s look at deconstructing these white colonists’ phrases. \nWhen we think about Euro-American settlers/colonizers and the way they have been romanticized for future generations\, we ponder this for at least two reasons: \n1) Why past and current white generations did and still continue this practice to this day\, and\n2) What keeps us believing in the white-centered\, brainwashed stories? \nWhat stories have we told ourselves\, as a people\, that live in us as “truth?” With some research\, we find they [stories as truth] are not based in fact. What in our white supremacy assumptions have we inherited from WAY back\, and live with us today? \nPrep Materials for April 2022: \n\nAndrew Jackson – (Through colonizer history)\nAmerican History Told Through Native Lens – NPR\nWe Shall Remain – There are 5 about 30-75min episodes – PBS – (These are not free unless you have a subscription through PBS or pay through Amazon prime)\nEssential Understandings of Native Americans in Oregon – Oregon Department of Education and the Nine Tribes of Oregon\n\nThese prep materials are optional\, but we encourage you to look at them with the intent of planting the seed of curiosity and self-education\, not as a “prerequisite” for attending. We start each of our sessions with a mutually created foundation. \nRSVP Here

SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Revolution Generation
DESCRIPTION:Stopping the emissions and then reversing the effects of excess greenhouse gasses is the existential crisis of our times. Massive\, transformative action is needed and must happen by the end of the decade. The Millennial Generation has grown up with the technology\, social tools\, and cooperative training to lead this fundamental change. The Revolution Generation is a kinetic\, perceptive documentary of a generation that examines why they are who they are. \nThis film is for all generations. It explores the “80-year cycle” of human history and shows the unique roll that Millennials will play as they shape the society for the rest of the century as we deal with a changing climate change\, social injustices\, geopolitical struggles\, and rapidly changing technology. \nNarrated by Michelle Rodriguez. Featuring interviews with Neil Howe\, Cici Battle\, Renaldo Pearson\, Roza Calderon\, David Burstein\, Christine Hassler\, Adam Smiley Poswalsky\, Ana Kasparian\, Tamara Draught\, Alexi Panos\, Tulsi Gabbard \nThe number of Millennials in the United States — those born between approximately 1978 and 2000 — is near 80 million people. They’re the most diverse generation in America\, with 56 percent of them registered as politically Independent … and every single one of them will be needed if the planet is to avoid climate catastrophe. In THE REVOLUTION GENERATION\, filmmakers Josh Tickell and Rebecca Tickell (whose previous films Fuel\, Pump\, and Kiss the Ground have examined oil\, capitalism\, and a regenerative way forward for the earth) spotlight a generation that has been mischaracterized\, mislabeled\, and mistakenly mocked. Through interviews and highlighting a theory by authors/generational demographists Neil Howe and William Strauss that history can be viewed as a series of 80-year cycles — and within that\, into four “seasons” that bring with them profound societal changes — the film shows the impact of the WWII Generation\, Baby Boomers\, and Gen X. But Millennials occupy a special spot: They’re creators of social tech and native digital users\, are anti-corporate crusaders\, are more empathetic that any previous group … and they now have to secure voting rights\, equality\, and the safety of the planet itself. Can they do it? A kinetic\, perceptive documentary of a generation and why they are who they are\, THE REVOLUTION GENERATION is also\, as Josh Trickell says\, “A how-to manual for saving the earth.” \nPlease join us for a screening and subsequent discussion on Wednesday\, April 27 at 6:00 PM PDT. \nRegistration required: bit.ly/SOCAN-Rev-Gen

SUMMARY:SOCAN: Funding Healthy Soils in Oregon
DESCRIPTION:All gardeners and farmers want healthy soil.  One of the best ways to achieve this is through practices that improve soil organic matter.  Regrettably\, we have been degrading our soils for too long and need to adjust our behavior. Fortunately\, doing so may lead to a win-win outcome: healthy soil and crops\, and we may reduce greenhouse gases from the atmosphere – leading to a healthier planet for all life. Because we all tend to be more comfortable doing what we currently do than making a change to unknown territory\, encouraging improved techniques is not always easy and requires incentives. \nThe catch is finding funds to incentivize this change in behavior.  Because of financial resources made available through the United States Department of Agriculture Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities opportunity\, there may be a solution.  Oregon’s Department of Agriculture (ODA) is developing an application for funds from this pool to support farmers who want to enhance their soil health and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. \nAt our next SOCAN Monthly General Meeting on April 26th\, Dr. Mike Badzmierowski\, Soil Health Specialist with ODA will explain the effort underway and discuss how it might work. There is no charge for joining the meeting which will run from 6:00 – 7:00 via ZOOM\, but participants must register.  Farmers interested in learning more should consider attending this program. \nPresentation by Mike Badzmierowski\, Ph.D.\, Oregon Department of Agriculture\, Soil Health Specialist \nRegistration Required: https://bit.ly/SOCAN-April

SUMMARY:Betty LaDuke Art Show Fire\, Fury\, and Resistance
DESCRIPTION:From March 29 through May 20 Grants Pass Art Museum will host the Betty LaDuke Art Show Fire\, Fury\, and Resistance: Totem Witnesses and Turtle Wisdom. \nWe are about to be treated to an enormous show featuring the work of our dear friend Betty Betty LaDuke at the Grants Pass Museum of Art. Amazingly\, the thirty-eight pieces largely represent what she did while in virtual isolation during the past two years of COVID shutdown. \n“Fire\, Fury and Resilience” reflects her sensitivity to the s social issues of our times\, the Almeda Fire\, Immigration issues\, social distancing during COVID and long-standing issues of social justice are all brilliantly reflected in her textured three-dimensional pieces using strident purples and turquoise\, for instance\, in just the right places to create her own version of totems that are visually tribal and compelling. \nBetty’s work includes some pieces from a new series of twelve turtles that she was inspired to create after a recent trip to see her daughter\, Winona LaDuke\, in Minnesota. She described the way enormous turtles kept appearing along the highway they were driving on. In order not to hurt or scare the turtles\, Winona would get out and put a stick in front of them. They would snap at the stick and grip it\, not letting go. This made it possible for Winona to drag the turtles off the road as they appeared. Turtles have been iconic images for Betty over years the years as they appear in folk cultures in Africa\, South America\, Native American motifs over generations. \nBetty says that she is enjoying creating the turtle totems because they are a relief from all the more intense expressions of what she has felt through the last two years. She assures us that more turtles are yet to come\, but so far each enormous turtle medallion provides a colorful\, circular and magical design. We look forward to seeing Betty’s still-burgeoning artistry\, which is a marvel and a gift and puts the Rogue Valley on the map nationally and internationally.

SUMMARY:Lotus Institute: Heart Sutra Workshop

SUMMARY:Restoring Nature: What People of Faith Can Do to Heal the Earth
DESCRIPTION:Douglas Tallamy’s books have awakened thousands to the problem of wildlife decline and the solution that resides in habitat restoration. This is a solution of which you and your faith community can be a part. The solution can be as close as your backyard or the property surrounding your place of worship. In this webinar\, Tallamy will outline the crisis faced and what we can do in response. The green teams and green thumbs of faith communities will learn not only about cultivating native plants in the landscapes around them\, but also what can be done to create a transformative movement full of actions ordinary people everywhere can take. \nTo care for God’s creation\, we can start by simply stepping outside the doors of where we gather for worship to make the most of our sacred places. In this webinar\, Tallamy will raise our awareness and equip us to make a difference in our world. \nThis webinar is co-hosted by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt who serves as the Minister of Environmental Justice for the United Church of Christ and the Rev.

SUMMARY:Virtual Film Festival Militarism And Water\, Survival And Resistance
DESCRIPTION:WATER & WAR: A Virtual Film Festival Exploring The Intersections Of Militarism And Water\, Survival And Resistance \nTuesday\, March 15\, 2022 to Tuesday\, March 22\, 2022 \nJoin World Beyond War for our 2nd annual virtual film festival! \nWith the escalating conflict over Ukraine\, our work to call for the abolition of war seems ever more pertinent. In trying times like these\, it feels especially important for us to come together in solidarity\, unifying our collective call for demilitarization and nonviolence. Our “Water & War” film festival from March 15-22 will provide that opportunity for international networking and discussion\, as we watch and learn about the human and environmental impact of war and militarism worldwide\, and the stories of those who are standing up to resist it. \nThis year’s “Water & War” festival from March 15-22\, 2022 explores the intersection of militarism & water\, survival & resistance\, in the lead-up to World Water Day on March 22. A unique mix of films explores this theme\, from PFAS pollution on a military base in Michigan and the infamous Red Hill fuel leak in Hawai’i poisoning groundwater\, to Syrian war refugees fleeing violent conflict by boat to Europe and the story of the assassination of Honduran Indigenous water activist Berta Cáceres. \nEach screening will be followed by a special panel discussion with key representatives from the films. \nGET FESTIVAL TICKETS HERE \nDay 1 of the festival on Tuesday\, March 15 at 7:00pm Eastern Daylight Time launches with a discussion of the sweeping water contamination caused by U.S. military bases worldwide with screenings of No Defense & The Empire Files’ A Battle for Water in Hawai’i. The post-film discussion will include Craig Minor\, Tony Spaniola\, Mikey Inouye\, and other special guests TBA. \n  \nDay 2 on Saturday\, March 19 at 3:00pm Eastern Daylight Time features a screening of the film The Crossing\, with director George Kurian. A rare\, firsthand account of one of the most dangerous journeys of our time\, this timely\, nail-biting documentary follows the grueling plight of a group of Syrian refugees as they cross the Mediterranean Sea and travel across Europe. The panel discussion will feature director George Kurian and Niamh Ní Bhriain\, coordinator of the Transnational Institute’s War and Pacification Programme. \nDay 3 – World Water Day\, Tuesday\, March 22 at 7:00pm-9:00pm EDT (GMT-04:00) \nThe festival finale features Berta Didn’t Die\, She Multiplied!\, a celebration of the life and legacy of Honduran Indigenous\, feminist\, and environmental activist Berta Cáceres. The film tells the story of the Honduran military coup\, the assassination of Berta\, and the victory in the Indigenous struggle to protect the Gualcarque River. The insidious agents of the local oligarchy\, the World Bank\, and North American corporations continue to kill but that will not stop the social movements. From Flint to Standing Rock to Honduras\, the water is sacred and the power is in the people. \nThis screening is co-sponsored by Mutual Aid Media and Peace Brigades International. \nMORE INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION HERE

SUMMARY:Stand With Ukraine Rally
DESCRIPTION:Oregon District 2 Indivisible\, the Rogue Valley Chapter of Veterans for Peace and Peace House invite you to attend a rally to Stand With Ukraine on Wednesday\, March 2\, at Vogel Plaza in Medford. \nParticipants are asked to wear blue and yellow in honor of Ukraine’s flag\, and to bring signs\, sunflowers\, and donations to benefit Doctors Without Borders\, which is providing aid to people injured and displaced by the conflict. \nWhy Gather?\n\n– Putin’s attack on Ukraine is an act of war that has inspired a worldwide response. It is important to show that the people of Southern Oregon support the independence of Ukraine and condemn the invasion of an independent nation.\n– This is an international crisis and should not be a partisan issue.\n– We are not happy with statements by Trump and GOP leaders who have praised Putin and tried to distract their followers’ attention by blaming the current administration.\n– We are particularly unhappy with our congressman\, Rep. Cliff Bentz\, who – a week after the attack – has remained silent on this issue. We will use this rally to ask him to make a public statement. \nThe groups invite everyone to come out and show their support for peace and the people of Ukraine on this evening. \nBackground: \nORD2 Indivisible is a grassroots organization devoted to keeping our members of Congress and other elected officials accountable. It is based on the Indivisible Guide\, with the goal of preserving a free press\, voting rights\, civil rights\, environmental protections\, health care\, and the protection of our nation’s most vulnerable citizens. It is based on the values of inclusion\, tolerance and fairness in its fight for democracy. \nVeterans for Peace\, Rogue Valley Chapter 156 is part of a global organization of military veterans and allies whose collective efforts are to build a culture of peace by using their experiences and lifting their voices. They inform the public of the true causes of war and the enormous costs of wars\, with an obligation to heal the wounds of wars. The network has over 140 chapters worldwide whose work includes: educating the public\, advocating for a dismantling of the war economy\, providing services that assist veterans and victims of war\, and most significantly\, working to end all wars.

DESCRIPTION:Melaneyes Media presents a free\, online presentation celebrating Black History Month\, which is a great time to look at the rich history of Black resistance.\n\n\nDuring the times of slavery\, enslaved African did not surrender to oppression or just engage in passive resistance against slaveholders—they planned and participated in armed revolts. Between the 17th and 19th centuries\, enslaved Africans and African Americans in the United States and the world staged hundreds of revolts. \nHistorically\, this month is an prime time for African Americans to remember and honor the freedom fighters and martyrs of the Black freedom struggle. \n“From slave rebellions to Black Lives Matter\, the key to liberation lies in our history.” – Cierra Chenier \n\n\nAbout the Event Host\n\nMelaneyes Media is an independent film company based in San Antonio\, TX. We are committed to providing knowledge-based Black cultural films\, projects and products relevant to the African Diaspora.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this Online Event Here
