SUMMARY:Christians Against Genocide: Open Mass Organizing Call

Last month\, this initiative\, Mennonite Action\, mobilized hundreds of its new members to Washington DC: 135 were arrested in the Capitol Building while singing hymns and sitting-in for a ceasefire in Gaza. \nWatch the beautiful video of the Jan. 16th action in the Capitol\, and register for Christians Against Genocide’s February 15th organizing call at 8:00pm ET.

SUMMARY:Awakening to Humanity’s Sacred Mission
DESCRIPTION:An International Symposium and Call to Action\nFebruary 9-11\, 18\, 2024 \nREGISTER NOW \nThis uniquely inspired online global event is primarily dedicated to hosting the vision of Ervin Laszlo and his powerful call to “Awakening Humanity’s Sacred Mission.” The international Symposium is a collaboration produced by UNITY EARTH in deep partnership with the Source of Synergy Foundation\, Laszlo Institute\, The Holomovement\, Unify\, Light on Light\, SINE Network\, Humanity’s Team\, Good of the Whole and other global organizations. \nThis event stands out due to its unprecedented global collaboration and its core focus on deep engagement. It serves as a worldwide rallying point for Humanity’s Sacred Mission\, emphasizing actionable steps and mass mobilization in transformative movements for the greater good. \n“Awakening to Humanity’s Sacred Mission” is based on the proposition that humanity has a sacred mission\, and that seeking and advancing this shared sacred mission is of urgent and vital interest. The religions and spiritual traditions speak of this mission of humanity\, and claim that we have a sacred or divine obligation to pursue it. \nThe Symposium seeks to uncover key aspects of the sacred mission of humanity\, and to highlight its meaning for our life and future. This global event will also be offering a variety of powerful action invitations to the audience to join together in awakening our shared sacred mission. \nPursuing a sacred mission gives people meaning in life\, helping to overcome pessimism\, inertia and depression. Those who awaken to their sacred mission then become a part of a great wave of consciousness “upshifting” humanity toward our next level of consciousness. \nThe dates February 9-11 are across the Lunar New Year 2024 which will be the beginning of the Year of the Dragon. \nThe Symposium will have two sessions each day for three days (February 9-11)\, to cover all time zones. Both sessions on any single day will cover the same daily theme with a variety of speakers. There is also a Harvest Day with two sessions a week later on February 18th to follow up and follow through for the audience and speakers. \nAttendees/participants are invited to participate in one session each day including the harvest day in order to complete attendance at the Symposium. They are not expected to attend both sessions on any given day but may if they so choose. \nSession 1 times 10 am EDT – 1pm EDT / 4pm CET – 7 CET\nSession 2 times 6pm EDT – 9 pm EDT / 10am AEDT – 1pm AEDT

This is a gathering of seasoned professionals addressing the challenges along with caring people who feel compassion for their fellow community members to network and become better informed about the issues. \nGet inspired and learn from these presenters from the national\, state and local levels about the causes of homelessness\, from a lack of affordable housing\, income disparities\, health issues\, domestic violence\, and racial inequalities. \nMany people hold stereotypes of what they think homelessness is\, but it’s a complex issue that is multifaceted and requires study to truly understand and to learn ways to diligently apply solutions. People of all backgrounds across the country are struggling with housing costs that have far outpaced wage growth. Many homeless families and individuals remain unseen. \nMoreover\, certain populations are at greater risk of homelessness. They have fewer opportunities to access safe\, affordable housing and health care and face more barriers to fulfilling these basic needs once they lose them. \nDID YOU KNOW? THE HOMELESSNESS CRISIS IS FUNDAMENTALLY A HOUSING CRISIS \nProduced by: Architects of the New Paradigm Conference Series\, OHRA; Opportunities for Housing\, Resources and Assistance\, and RVML Community Resource Center. \nTicket price includes plated lunch. \nFULL DETAILS AND PRESENTER BIOS HERE \nPlease email for more information: registration@anpconference.com

SUMMARY:Four Week Online Course: Unwelcomed – Oregon’s History of Exclusion
DESCRIPTION:Ashland Together\, in collaboration with Peace House and BASE is proud to present “Unwelcomed: Understanding Oregon’s History Exclusion.” This 4-week online course is led by Portland State University Professor Kristin Teigen. \nProfessor Teigen will take us through the deliberate steps taken to construct Oregon\, first as a territory and later as a state\, to exclude non-white people. \nWoven into each week\, we will discuss Southern Oregon’s specific history with regard to race. \nRegister Here \nWeek 1: Exclusions\, Genocide\, Segregation\, and Deportation \nBeginning with the construct of race\, we then embark on a journey through Oregon’s complex and often troubling history. Who was in Oregon before it became a state? What led to its founding? Dive deep into the origins of hate groups like the KKK and investigate discriminatory policies such as the Chinese Exclusion Act. Understand how Oregon’s history is marred by acts of deportation\, exclusion\, and even genocide. \nWeek 2: Displacement and the Arrival of Immigrants \nMoving from the origin of Oregon\, we will travel into the early 20th century to examine the creation of segregation and systems of displacement\, the arrival of immigrant groups\, and we will set the stage for the transformation of World War II. \nWeek 3: World War II and Its Aftermath \nThe third week takes us to a critical period: World War II and its enduring impact on Oregon. Explore the devastating effects of Japanese internment camps\, Latinx deportations\, the creation of Vanport and more\, and the practice of redlining\, all of which continue to shape Oregon’s communities today.\nWeek 4: The “Golden Age” and Modern Day \nThe 1950’s\, the supposed Golden Age of the U.S. brought dramatic transformations\, particularly with Indigenous communities\, displacements within Black communities\, the aftermath of internment and continued deportations. Moving into modern-day Oregon\, we will look at how the past has created the realities of our day-to-day lives and the continuing struggle for justice. \nCourse Details: \nWhen: Every Thursday beginning February 1st\nTime: 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm PT\nPlatform: Zoom (link will be provided on the day of each class)\nCost: $90\nCapacity: Limited to 35 participants \nThis course emphasizes active participation\, open dialogue\, and is designed to be a safe space for all attendees. \nPlease write to ashlandtogether@gmail.com for information regarding full or partial scholarships. \nUnwelcomed: Understanding the Racist History of Oregon is sponsored by our partners: Peace House\, BASE–Black Alliance and Social Empowerment\, and Rogue Valley Unitatian Universalist Fellowship. 50% of all proceeds will be donated to BASE \nInstructor: Kristin Teigen\, MA\, M.Ed. is an educator at Portland State University\, where she teaches the history of BIPOC communities in Oregon and issues of women’s homelessness. She’s also an anti-oppression activist\, working in feminist\, queer\, environmental justice and people of color movements\, and a trained anti-oppression facilitator

SUMMARY:FREE Two-Hour Webinar: The Seeds of a White Utopia

How did a rebellion in the 1600’s and the Missouri Compromise of 1820 set the stage for Oregon as ‘whites only’ territory\, and later\, a state? From land grabs to redlining to genocide\, countless moments of our history would influence people in Oregon for generations to come. \nRegister and find out more about this event on Ashland Together’s Event Page.  \nInstructor: Kristin Teigen\, Portland State University
