SUMMARY:ACCESS Senior Fair April 4
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 ACCESS Senior Fair will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday\, April 4\, at the Medford Armory\, 1701 S. Pacific Highway. \nThis will be a great opportunity to connect again in person while sharing needed resources with our seniors\, their families\, and each other. We have a broad selection of vendors who will offer an information-based resource fair for seniors\, their families and others who provide care and services to this population. There is no cost to attend. \nLive music will be provided by Rockafairy\, an emerging non-profit with a desire to connect more with our local senior population. Primarily this will be solo singer/songwriters with a focus on older music\, but we hope there will be one trio including a stand-up base. \nNot only will we have a bingo room with local celebrity callers from Newswatch Channel 12\, but we will also have a bingo game for attendees to increase engagement with vendors. Upon entry attendees will receive a double-sided sheet with vendor business names and a blackout bingo offering.

SUMMARY:SOCAN Monthly Meeting: Curb Food Waste for the Climate
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) will feature guest speakers and a discussion about what people can do to help curb food waste in Southern Oregon March 28 at 6:00 p.m. online. \nIn 2022\, the U.S. department of Agriculture stated: “Food loss and waste … exacerbates the climate crisis with its significant GHG footprint. Production\, transportation\, and handling of food generate significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions\, and when food ends up in landfills\, it generates methane\, [which is] an even more potent greenhouse gas.” \nA 2021 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report concluded that “each year\, U.S. food loss and waste embodies 170 million metric tons of climate pollution– equal to the annual CO2 emissions of 42 coal-fired power plants.” This doesn’t even take landfill methane into account. \nTo learn more about food waste and what we can do to address it\, join Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) at their March 28th General Meeting online from 6:00 to 7:00pm. This month’s topic is “Food Waste and the Climate Crisis: What to Know & What to Do” with featured speakers Flavia Franco of Southern Oregon Food Solutions\, Jeanette Hardison of the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition\, and Ellie Cosgrove of Rogue Valley Farm 2 School. \nThere is no charge for joining the ZOOM meeting\, but participants must register at the link on the SOCAN calendar event: socan.eco/food-waste. \nIn response to the food waste problem April 10 – 16 has been designated as ‘Food Waste Prevention Week’ nationwide. In order to raise awareness and to engage with folks about solutions. Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality is a sponsor of this campaign.

SUMMARY:World BEYOND War's Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join World BEYOND War for our 3rd annual virtual film festival! \nThis year’s “Celebrating Stories of Nonviolence” virtual film festival from March 11-25\, 2023 explores the power of nonviolent action. A unique mix of films explores this theme\, from Gandhi’s Salt March\, to ending war in Liberia\, to civil discourse and healing in Montana. Each week\, we’ll host a live Zoom discussion with key representatives from the films and special guests to answer your questions and explore the topics addressed in the films. Scroll down to learn more about each film and our special guests\, and to purchase tickets! \nHow It Works: \n\n  1 ticket gets you access to all 3 films & panel discussions.\n  1 week before each panel discussion\, you will get the screening link to watch the film on your own time leading up to the live discussion.\n  Then join us live on Zoom each Saturday in March from the 11th-25th to talk with key representatives from the films and special guests! The panel discussions will also be recorded if you can’t join us live.\n\nLearn More at World Beyond War’s Film Festival page. \nDay 1: Discussion of “A Force More Powerful” \nA Force More Powerful is a documentary series on one of the 20th century’s most important and least-known stories: how nonviolent power overcame oppression and authoritarian rule. It includes case studies of movements\, and each case is approximately 30 minutes long. We’ll watch Episode 1\, which contains 3 case studies: \n\nIn India in the 1930s\, after Gandhi had returned from South Africa\, he and his followers adopted a strategy of refusing to cooperate with British rule. Through civil disobedience and boycotts\, they successfully loosened their oppressors’ grip on power and set India on the path to freedom.\nIn the 1960s\, Gandhi’s nonviolent weapons were taken up by black college students in Nashville\, Tennessee. Disciplined and strictly nonviolent\, they successfully desegregated Nashville’s downtown lunch counters in five months\, becoming a model for the entire civil rights movement.\nIn 1985\, a young South African named Mkhuseli Jack led a movement against the legalized discrimination known as apartheid. Their campaign of nonviolent mass action\, and a powerful consumer boycott in the Eastern Cape province\, awakened whites to black grievances and fatally weakened business support for apartheid.

SUMMARY:Storytelling & Strategy with George Lakey March 7
DESCRIPTION:Join Peace House and Ashland’s Peace Church (UCC) March 7 in welcoming George Lakey to Ashland. George is a veteran nonviolent activist\, trainer\, and author. He will be reading and sharing stories from his new book\, “Dancing with History: a life for peace and justice.” George will be speaking at 2 p.m. at Peace House and at 7 p.m. at UCC (717 Siskiyou Blvd.) in Ashland. \nGeorge Lakey’s first arrest was for a sit-in during a civil rights campaign in 1963\, while he was studying at the University of Pennsylvania. Previously he’d been active in demonstrations with the Congress of Racial Equality. With Martin Oppenheimer he wrote A Manual for Direct Action (1964) for the civil rights movement. The daughter of Martin Luther King\, Rev. Dr. Bernice A. King\, later described that book as “literally a lifesaver for many during the height of the struggle for black freedom and dignity.” \nIn 1964 he joined the training staff for Mississippi Freedom Summer\, in which nearly a thousand students from the North went to Mississippi to lead Freedom Schools and do voter registration. After helping design an activist curriculum with civil rights leaders Bayard Rustin\, James Farmer and others\, he taught at the Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, School of Social Change\, assisting young civil rights workers from the front lines to develop further their leadership skills. \nAfter taking advanced studies in sociology at Penn\, Lakey wrote a series of articles and books on the theory and strategy of nonviolent struggle. He taught at Haverford College and the University of Pennsylvania. In 1990 he co-founded Training for Change. He has led over 1500 workshops on five continents\, including work with the African National Congress and in the civil rights movements of Zimbabwe\, Taiwan\, and Myanmar. \nHe has also been an activist in other social movements in the U.S.: anti-Vietnam war\, gay liberation\, Men Against Patriarchy\, Jobs with Peace (a labor coalition)\, and climate justice. \n“Peace Educator of the Year\, 2010” \nIn 2006 Swarthmore College invited him to become Eugene M. Lang Visiting Professor for Issues in Social Change\, where he created an on-line database of over 1000 cases of nonviolent campaigns in nearly 200 countries\, including dozens of campaigns from the classic period of the U.S. civil rights movement\, 1955-68. Swarthmore will be using his memoir as a course-assigned book. \nHe has lectured at Harvard\, Stanford\, Oxford\, Thailand’s Thommasat University\, and many other colleges and universities\, including as a popular speaker for the annual day remembering Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.

SUMMARY:KS Wild: First Friday Art Show with Dot Fisher-Smith
DESCRIPTION:Join KS Wild and Rogue Riverkeeper Friday to view “Mountains and Waters Walking on Canvas” an art installation by Dot Fisher-Smith. \nDot has been hiking\, biking and backpacking among mountains\, forests and rivers for more than 75 years. She has been walking with KS Wild from its beginning. \nThe distillation of her long walk on the Earth and her love of the Wild shows up magically on weathered canvas from her meditation yurt above the Payne Cliffs\, where she lived for 14 years (1986-2000) before moving to town to use her bicycle (rather than her car) for transportation. \nShe is at home in the wide natural world wherever she finds herself. She invites you to find yourself taking a stroll with her through magical land and space-scapes at the KS Wild and Rogue Riverkeeper office. \nDot will be donating 25% of all sales proceeds to KS Wild and Rogue Riverkeeper’s mission.

SUMMARY:Putting Communities First in Oregon's News & Civic Information Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Last October\, the Agora Journalism Center mapped Oregon’s local news and released a study titled “Assessing Oregon’s Local News & Information Ecosystem: Connecting news\, information\, and civic health.” Our findings are deeply concerning. The loss of trusted news sources should be troubling as information gaps are where misinformation breeds\, and accountability goes to die. But we see hope. \n\n\n\n\nAs University researchers\, we’re convening journalists and community members to better understand how people engage with trusted information during considerable changes in the media ecosystem. What issues are most important? What tools and sources do people use for reliable news and information? What challenges do people face in getting information that helps them make decisions and take action in their local communities? \nWhile we’ll review some table-setting baseline information on the health of our state’s media system\, most of our time together will be in conversation on how to better fill our community’s information needs and re-imagine what truly engaging\, informative\, and inclusive local news would look like. \nWe’re hosting two community conversations and hope you can attend one of them: \n\nFriday\, March 3\, from 4 to 6 pm\nSaturday\, March 4\, from 10 am to 12 noon\n\nRefreshments will be served.

We’ll start each event with a short presentation on that day’s topic\, followed by a live Q&A with those watching. \nHave any questions or ideas for future conversations? Drop us a line\, and we hope to see you virtually during our next livestream! \nMissed our prior Let’s Talk About Hanford conversations? Check them out on YouTube.

SUMMARY:Protect Peehee Mu'huh: Resisting Dirty Mining for “Clean Energy”
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to this free event with People of Red Mountain! \nAs demand for electric cars and renewable energy increases\, so has the pressure from governments and corporations to exploit Indigenous lands and waterways for lithium– a critical component in producing new batteries. \nA coalition of Indigenous groups\, tribes\, and environmental organizations are fighting to protect Thacker Pass from the largest proposed open pit lithium mine in the U.S.\, on Paiute-Shoshone land in northern Nevada. Exploratory drilling for lithium is also underway at other sites in Nevada and just over the state line in southeast Oregon. \nThis panel will show that the ongoing degradation of land\, water\, and Indigenous sovereignty is a false solution to our climate crisis. Presented by People of Red Mountain and moderated by Ka’ila Farrell-Smith. \nThis event is being offered freely to the community as part of SOU’s upcoming Climate Justice Conference. You can learn more about the conference at https://sou.edu/…/climate-justice…/conference-program/

SUMMARY:Climate Justice Conference
DESCRIPTION:Be Part of the Change: February 24-25\, 2023 \nFrom SOU’s Sustainability Center \nThe goal of the conference is to accelerate the pace with which a racial equity lens is integrated into regional climate change mitigation\, adaptation\, and resilience efforts.
