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: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: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. Carol Devine who serves as the Minister of Green Chalice for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the Interim Director of Blessed Tomorrow. \nREGISTER FOR EVENT HERE \nEvent Co-Sponsors: Blessed Tomorrow\, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon\, Interfaith Power & Light\, Multnomah Athletic Club\, Oregon-Idaho Conference of the United Methodist Church\, Planet Church of First United Methodist Church of Portland\, and West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District. \nSpecial thanks to 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.

SUMMARY:Black Resistance: Examples of African Rebellion
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.

SUMMARY:Ukraine Crisis: NATO and The US Global War Drive
DESCRIPTION:Abroad coalition of peace organizations will host an open meeting on how to respond to the Current Crisis in Ukraine and war threats on Russia. What can do about it? \nPlease join this important online meeting and discussion with leaders from the antiwar movement including (in alphabetical order): \nLeela Anand – ANSWER coalition \nAjamu Baraka – Black Alliance for Peace \nMedea Benjamin – CodePink \nSara Flounders – International Action Center \nMargaret Flowers – Popular Resistance \nBruce Gagnon – Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space \nJoe Jamison – US Peace Council \nMargaret Kimberley – Black Agenda Report \nJeff Mackler – United National Antiwar Coalition \nNancy Price – Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (US) \nSusan Schnall – Veterans For Peace \nDavid Swanson – World Beyond War \nJoe Lombardo will chair. Ajamu Baraka will give an opening statement \nPlease click here to register for the meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ 10cVDLQuQR6T3WPeAkJwtw \nOnly a few short months after the chaotic US defeat in Afghanistan\, the US is pushing a war with Russia\, a major nuclear power. US officials insist that the Russians will invade Ukraine. Russia has repeatedly denied this. \nIn recent days the US and some of their allies have closed their embassies and asked their nationals to leave Ukraine. [The US and allies moved their embassies to Lvov in western Ukraine where Nazis predominate.] \nThe Ukrainian military has a force of 150\,000 troops\, that are U.S. trained and armed with modern US weapons\, near the Russian border and the independent regions in Donbass. These independent regions have taken a stand in opposition to the right-wing\, coup government in Kiev\, since 2014. The Ukrainian military has started heavy shelling of the independent areas of Donbass\, which have returned the fire. \nEvery U.S. war in our lifetime has been based on false information\, repeated relentlessly by the corporate media. There is deep apprehension that the US and the Ukrainian government are preparing a “false flag” incident that could lead to a major conflict. \nThe US has tens of thousands of troops in Europe\, it is putting troops on high alert and sending more. They are not only arming the Ukrainian military\, but they are expanding NATO bases and sending additional arms and missiles to other NATO countries in the region. \nIt is important that the U.S. antiwar movement come together to oppose these dangerous war moves. Please join us this evening!

SUMMARY:Sexual and Relationship Violence. Time for Change.
DESCRIPTION:The Jefferson Center presents “Sexual and Relationship Violence:  Time for Change.” on February 13. \n\n\nWhy aren’t sexual violence and relationship violence gone from our society? Susan Moen will review risks\, social norms\, and stereotypes that encourage sexual violence. She will outline programs and strategies for prevention of harm. Register for the Zoom conversation by clicking the link here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcld-uppzkvE9UV2PX7obDKQt9Hn6P…(link is external)\nFor decades\, prevention work focused on teaching women (always women) to change their behaviors in order to lessen their risk of assault: “how not to get raped\,” “personal safety\,” and “risk reduction.” Recently\, there has been a move toward changing social norms and stereotypes that allow or even encourage sexual violence. What does prevention work look like in the Rogue Valley? What are the goals and strategies of these programs? What do we know now about causes as well as impacts? What can we do personally and as a community? Where is resistance to change? Did COVID change anything? \nAbout the Presenter: Susan Moen is the Executive Director and co-founder of the local non-profit Jackson County SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) which provides direct services to survivors of sexual violence and brings sexual violence prevention classes into K-12 schools\, businesses and community groups. Susan has worked in the field of sexual violence response for over 30 years. \nRegister at https://www.thejeffcenter.org/salon-current-events
