SUMMARY:Election 2024: What does it mean for climate action?
DESCRIPTION:Submitted by SOCAN \nElections always have consequences. This is especially the case for our potential to address\nthe climate crisis when some candidates for office accept the science of global warming and it\nclimate change consequences while others display something between skepticism and outright\nrejection of science. From the local to the national level the outcomes from the 2024 general\nelection will indicate profoundly whether meaningful action is likely. \nThe Southern Oregon Climate Action Now November General Meeting will focus on an\nexploration of what the election results mean for climate action in the near future. Special guest\nand notable climate champion State Representative Pam Marsh will offer insight regarding what\nthe election outcome means for climate action as we approach the 2025 long session.\nAdditionally\, SOCAN co-facilitator. Alan Journet will explore what the results mean for federal\naction\, Denise Krause will discuss what results mean for the Jackson County Board of\nCommissioners and SOCAN co-facilitator Kathy Conway will do likewise for regional city\nelection results. \nThe meeting is free and open to the public and will occur from 6:00 – 7:30 on Tuesday\nNovember 26 th at the Medford Public Library\, 205 S Central Ave\, Medford.

SUMMARY:When Truth Becomes the Enemy: Voices from Jenin
DESCRIPTION:A Community Gathering with Mariam Barghouti\, Ashira Darwish & Rawand Arqawi \nJoin SAND for a pressing conversation amongst three remarkable women who bring crucial perspectives from Jenin’s ongoing tragedy\, in the context of escalated violence in the West Bank and the genocide in Gaza. Palestinian journalist Mariam Barghouti and Jenin resident Rwanda Arqawi share their firsthand experiences\, cutting through the fog of misinformation to reveal the human realities often obscured in Western mainstream narratives. \nAt a time when documenting truth has become increasingly dangerous\, these voices from the ground illuminate not only Israel’s violence in Jenin\, but also the danger of bearing witness to it. Israel has killed more journalists in Palestine than died in any other conflict over the past three decades. Via personal stories and professional insights\, our speakers highlight the impact of ongoing Israeli military operations\, the resilience of Palestinians in Jenin and throughout the region\, and the critical importance of preserving and sharing truth in the face of systemic erasure. \nJoin us in community for this timely discussion about the power of testimony\, the cost of silence\, and the need to amplify voices from the ground. \nThere is a suggested donation of $25 for this event. \nProceeds from this community gathering will go to training young people in Jenin on photography and film production\, as well as purchasing video equipment (cameras\, audio\, computers and lighting). \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Homelessness in Our Region: Jefferson Center Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Echo Fields\, retired SOU professor of sociology\, will join the Jefferson Center for a discussion of Homelessness in our Region. The discussion will focus on key issues relating to homelessness. \nThese include: problems in gathering reliable data on the homeless population; how this information relates to stereotypes about homelessness arising from stigma\, emotion\, and punitive impulses; what needs to change in our social systems in order to implement solutions to homelessness; and what kinds of actions individuals and non-profit organizations might undertake. \nBlaming and trying to change homeless individuals is unlikely to resolve the problem\, and such approaches let “comfortable people” off the hook for the need for system changes. Changing these intersecting social systems takes time and requires collaboration among government\, non-profit organizations and citizen volunteers. \nHow do we get there? The program will be held in the Jefferson Center space\, suite 101\, in the Old Armory Building\, 208 Oak St.\, in Ashland. Light refreshments will be served. This event is free and open to the public. If you have questions\, please contact Tony Davis (tonydavis0@ gmail.com).
