SUMMARY:Help Support Climate Teaching in Classrooms
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) is working to support K-12 educators in Southern Oregon who want to bring climate education into their classrooms. SOCAN seeks to support K-12 educators by providing science-based resources\, professional development\, and collaboration opportunities to bring science-based Climate Change Education (CCE) into classrooms across the curriculum and grade levels To do that effectively\, we need to hear directly from teachers. Take this short survey to learn more about how educators are thinking about climate change and how we can support them in meeting Oregon’s climate standards. If you’re a teacher\, we hope you’ll take a few minutes to share your perspective. Even if you’re not a teacher\, you can help by sharing this message to any educators you know. Please complete the survey now so we can use the summer months to shape supportive programming. (SOCAN) is a grassroots\, nonprofit organization of volunteers dedicated to promoting awareness and action on climate change issues in Southern Oregon. Questions? Contact Kathy Conway.

SUMMARY:How to Build a Bridge: The Road to Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:Are the growing divides in our world starting to feel overwhelming?

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.

SUMMARY:Books Not Bombs
DESCRIPTION:Following up on an earlier Massachusetts Peace Action Education Fund Conference will be gathering to explore paths to protect the federal budget supporting public schools\, and continuing to try to reach out to parents and grandparents among our Peace Action affiliates and their local allies. Register here. The threats to federal education programs have become acute. Funds for PELL grants\, title I and disability programs are at risk in the Trump/Musk Administration. The proposed termination of the Dept of Education will weaken other school programs. Though organizations representing teachers and educators\, including NEA\, AFT and AAUP\, have come together to resist the proposed cuts\,\, it remains difficult to reach parents\, who generally lack statewide organizations. Their local school district organizations rarely address the federal budget.

SUMMARY:How do you reconcile a lynching? A story of justice and redemption.
DESCRIPTION:This event will focus on the legacy of Alonzo Tucker\, Oregon’s most widely documented African American victim of lynching\, and how his memory has inspired a movement for historical reconciliation. Taylor Stewart will share about how the search for an answer to this question transformed his life and taught him the potential to find true justice for Oregon’s history of racial injustice. \n“This story is not just about reconciliation; it’s about finding a way to heal and foster hope in our communities\,” Stewart explains. “By confronting these painful narratives\, we can begin to foster understanding and pave the way for a more just future.” \nGabrielle Johnsen\, founder of Grants Pass Remembrance (from Sundown to Sunrise) and Community Engagement Director of ORP\, will join the discussion. A Q&A session will follow. \nPlease register for the event.
