SUMMARY:Be the Change: A Musical Invitation
DESCRIPTION:The Rogue Valley Peace Choir has inspired audiences to standing ovations this season with powerful messages of peace\, social justice\, and care-taking the Earth. \nNow\, it promises singing\, dancing\, and wildly engaging percussive flourishes during the final concerts of the the choir’s 23rd season. With these performances — passionately directed by Rob Griswell-Lowry and skillfully accompanied by Dr. Mikiko Petrucelli — the nearly 100-member choir also invites the community to “be the change we want to see in the world.” \nEarly arrival at both venues is recommended as seats are expected to fill quickly. A suggested donation of $20 is gratefully accepted\, but not required. \nThe concerts’ theme comes from the title of the song Be the Change. The song’s lyrics revolve around the idea that we can’t look outside ourselves for change\, but must embody the changes we want to see in the world. The song quotes the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.\, who said\, “Darkness does not drive out the darkness\, only light can do that. Hatred does not drive out the hatred\, only love can do that.” \n“As a choir\,” says Griswell-Lowry\, “we sing truths like these to remind ourselves\, and all who hear our songs\, that the responsibility for creating a world worth living in belongs to all of us. \n“We’ve all heard that the pen is mightier than the sword\,” he adds\, “As singers in our choral community\, we also know that the power of the pen — of words and ideas — is amplified and enhanced by the music that makes songs. When the Peace Choir shares its songs with our community\, we not only share our hope for a better world\, we help listeners find — or rediscover — their own hope.” \nSongs for the choir’s repertoire are chosen by choir members themselves to express these themes in heart-felt and thoughtful ways. Choir members continue to be a part of the growing movement that recognizes how pro-actively and collectively we can make a difference on many fronts: we can shed light on injustice\, we can support an end to wars\, and we can take care of our Earth and each other when we work together.

SUMMARY:Good Trouble Day in Ashland
DESCRIPTION:Ashlanders are joining Good Trouble Lives On\, a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America\, the power lies with the people. See more about Good Trouble Day nationally. \nFrom voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest\, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. But we know the truth: in America\, the power lies with the people\, and we’re rising to prove it. \nThis is more than a protest; it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead\, and a new front in the struggle for freedom. \nPlease note: A core principle behind our Good Trouble Lives On actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. \nSee more about the Ashland event.

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: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:How to Build a Bridge: The Road to Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:Are the growing divides in our world starting to feel overwhelming? The first step\, and one that each one of us can do\, is to “depolarize within.” \nWe need to look for the walls of separation and hostility inside ourselves and learn how we can start dissolving them. With that as a starting point\, we become bearers of reconciliation in our own homes\, within our existing family structures\, in our workplaces\, and beyond. Come find out some ways\, as individuals\, we can get there. \nThis FREE presentation starts at 11:30 (Feel free to attend the service on Reconciliation at 10\, or for snacks at 11:15) \nPresenter: Marla Estes\, Founder\, Building Bridgers\, working to bridge the political divide since 2017 \nGet more information.

SUMMARY:Protest Avelo Airlines: Sign the Petition
DESCRIPTION:ORD2 Indivisible is planning a protest at Rogue County International Airport\, Medford\, to tell Avelo Airlines: “Stop helping ICE deport our neighbors.” There will be demonstrations at every airport Avelo serves to call for a passenger boycott until Avelo breaks with ICE. \nAvelo\, a budget carrier\, recently announced a contract to begin operating deportation flights for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement starting May 12. Avelo flies between Medford and Burbank\, Calif.\, every Monday and Friday. \nThe location will be Biddle Road near the entrance and exit to the airport. Participants in the demonstration can find free parking along O’Hare Boulevard\, which tees into Biddle opposite the airport entrance\, or pay a small amount for short-term parking at the airport. \nORD2’s Community Protection Team (CPT)\, which is organizing this action\, will have a large banner to display\, but participants are encouraged to make and bring signs communicating our solidarity with our undocumented sisters and brothers and our displeasure at Avelo’s complicity with the Trump roundups. \nAs an aid to sorting out the logistics\, please let CPT co-leader Herb Rothschild know if you’re planning to come. And everyone can put pressure on Avelo by signing the national “We won’t fly” petition.
