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. Centering of BIPOC experiences and adopting a racial equity lens for planning and decision making is urgently needed. By convening individuals and organizations from racial justice and social equity arenas with those working toward climate change resilience\, this conference hopes to build a more equitable future where BIPOC and historically marginalized communities are less disproportionately impacted by a changing climate. \nThis two-day conference will feature case study presentations\, panel discussions\, workshops\, and keynote speakers from Southern Oregon and beyond\, around these three themes: \n\nClimate justice activism\, action\, and learning\nAdopting a racial equity lens – for individuals\, for groups\, and for action\nLearning lessons about equity and resilience from the 2020 fires\n\nThis conference is open to anyone interested in learning about climate and social justice! Attendees are expected to be a mixture of interested community members\, high school and college students\, teachers\, and faculty from the region\, and employees and volunteers with government agencies\, businesses\, and community organizations. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Gareth Higgins: How Not to Be Afraid
DESCRIPTION:Join Peace House and the Hearth for an evening of storytelling and conversation with Irish writer Gareth Higgins\, author of How Not to Be Afraid. \nThe world seems terrifying. Whether your fear is about violence\, shame\, illness\, money\, meaning\, or the collapse of certainty\, you are not alone. Yet the power of the fear we feel depends on the story we tell about fear. Fight\, flee\, or freeze: are these are only options? \nGrowing up near the troubled city of Belfast\, Gareth Higgins was schooled in suspicion\, mistrust\, and paranoia. Would someone be lurking behind the door? Was there a bomb under that car? Yet fear feeds on the stories we tell ourselves\, Higgins claims\, and in the pages of How Not to Be Afraid\, he delves into the mechanisms of fear\, as well as the quiet\, immense strength of individuals and communities that refuse to let it reign. \nGrounded in personal experience and expert reflection on violence\, conflict transformation\, and trauma recovery\, Higgins traces vulnerability as strength to address seven common fears that plague each of us at some point in our lives. By examining such topics as the fear of being alone\, the fear of not having enough\, and the fear of violence and death\, he invites readers into habits of hope rooted in Celtic spirituality and the mysteries of love. \nIn the rich spiritual\, activist\, and literary tradition of Walter Wink and Kathleen Norris\, Higgins points us toward tenderness\, empathy\, and gentle encounter with each other and with our deepest and most relentless fears. He shows us how we can replace our narratives of fear and cynicism with better stories. Peace is the way to itself\, he reveals\, and when we choose this path\, our lives will never be the same. \nGareth Higgins was born in Belfast in 1975\, grew up during the northern Ireland Troubles\, and now lives in the US. He writes and speaks about the power of storytelling to shape our lives and world\, peace and making justice\, and how to take life seriously without believing your own propaganda. He is the co-founder of The Porch Community\, the Wild Goose\, New Story and Movies & Meaning festivals\, and leads retreats in Ireland and the US. He is passionate about helping people discover the meaning of our own lives\, and to learn from each other about how stories help us live better. www.garethhiggins.net \n  \nHosted by Mark Yaconelli. Sponsored by The Hearth\, Peace House\, and First Presbyterian Church of Ashland

SUMMARY:Who Wrote That? Artificial Intelligence Discussion February 19
DESCRIPTION:The Jefferson Center will present a discussion of ChatGPT and similar Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that use language in amazingly human ways led by Jefferson Center member Dr. Tony Davis. \nSunday\, February 19\, 2023\, 4-6 pm. Co-Hosted by Science Works at 1500 East Main St. in Ashland. \nDr. Davis will facilitate a conversation about the effects and implications of these AI systems\, focusing on education and critical thinking. The session will begin by showing some of ChatGPT’s capabilities in action. Then discussion will turn to broader issues. Is this the end of student essays? To what extent can their use be detected and regulated? What kinds of skills become less relevant when students use this technology in their written work? Are fears about losing crucial cognitive abilities justified? \nAI systems offer wide-ranging\, plausible\, coherent\, and nearly instant responses to all kinds of queries and instructions. Ask ChatGPT for suggestions about attracting customers to a new café\, and it provides a list of very sensible ones. Ask it to write a sonnet in French about dogs hunting squirrels and it pops one out. But such systems also prompt some deep and potentially disturbing questions. How much can we trust what they say? Which applications are fair\, transparent\, and ethical? How do our ideas about trust\, authorship\, authoritative sources\, and deception adjust to this way of producing written – and\, for that matter\, spoken – material? And in the end\, how much do we care? \nAs we rapidly enter an age of machines with uncanny abilities – superhuman game-playing skills\, deep-fake videos\, autonomous vehicles\, and drug design – systems that use human language fluently challenge us at a visceral and fundamental level. How do the prospects of writing by machine compare with other circumstances when we’ve had to deal with automation and technological change\, such as smartphones\, calculators\, the printing press\, or the invention of writing itself? \nDr. Tony Davis received his Ph.D. in linguistics from Stanford and his career since then has focused primarily on computational linguistics and knowledge representation including audio/video search and retrieval and computer-assisted medical coding. He taught courses on computational linguistics and information retrieval at Georgetown University for 15 years. \nThe Jefferson Center is a Rogue Valley non-profit focused on critical thinking using secular humanist values to understand and engage with issues important to our community. See https:thejeffcenter.org for more details on this and future events.

SUMMARY:Feb 4 Rogue Basin Water Action Community Event
DESCRIPTION:2023 Kick-off Event
 Saturday\, February 4\, 2023 at 9 AM to Noon at the Medford Public Library’s Large Meeting Room\nat 205 S. Central Avenue. \nThe event is free and open to everyone. \nThe Water Action Community flows from the ideas brought forth during SOPA’s Rogue Valley Water Solutions Summit last fall. Water League\, which engages the public Water stewardship\, is collaborating with SOPA to support the next steps that individuals and action groups can take to make a difference in the Rogue Basin. \nMore than 200 people\, including Indigenous wisdom keepers\, panelists from across the state of Oregon\, and citizens concerned for the efficient and beneficial use of the Rogue Valley’s water met over the course of the 6-part Water Solutions Summit series. \nFour action teams (cohorts) emerged from the summit that are critical to the health and well-being of our valley’s water. The format for February 4 will include an examination of “What is” and “What could be.” \nThe action-driven cohorts will explore: \nRights of Nature\, Indigenous Perspectives\, and the Public Trust Doctrine\nFunding\, Legislation\, Water Rights\, and Water Law\nEquity for Aquifers\, Agriculture\, Wetlands and Waterways\nWater Equity for Domestic\, Industrial\, and Commercial Uses \nDuring the Water Action Community – 2023 Launch on February 4\, folks can sign up for one or more cohorts they’d like to join and then enter a breakout session during which each team will meet to: \n\nPlan its regular meeting schedule\,\nBegin formulating its mission and\nBrainstorm a few goals  to achieve to pursue that mission.\n\nWe seek: \n\n Greater community ties based on our relationship with water and a better understanding of the Rights of Nature;\nUnderstanding and adoption of traditional ecological knowledge\, and to support water sovereignty for Indigenous Peoples;\nBetter communication between the community and their decision makers;\nActions that result in greater beneficial uses of water and actions that increase water quality;\nEquity for water users who have experienced injustice;\nProtections for water sources such as groundwater\, aquifers\, headwaters\, surface waters\, wetlands\, springs\, lakes\, and ponds by use of the Public Trust Doctrine\, changes in rules and statutes\, implementation of conservation best practices\, and enforcement of existing water laws;\nTo identify the public interest in all its diversity as it pertains to water with an eye to the public and environmental health\, welfare\, and safety.\n\nWater League will provide the overall support and organization for the four teams all year long and will be available to attend all team meetings to keep a central hub connection\, hear needs and suggestions\, and report on related actions of other teams.

SUMMARY:Webinar: U.S. Refiners Buy Gold From Human Rights Abusers
DESCRIPTION:From Solidarity Collective: \nU.S.-based transnational mining company Aura Minerals destroyed a 200-year-old community cemetery belonging to the Indigenous Mayan Chortí community of Azacualpa in Honduras. The ongoing expansion of the San Andres gold mine now threatens to forcibly displace the community of Azacualpa\, contaminate vital water sources for nearby communities\, and criminalize Indigenous leaders. Despite well-documented human rights violations\, U.S.-based refineries continue to buy gold from this mining project. \nOn Wednesday\, February 1 at 3:30 PST\, join us to hear directly from the Azacualpa mining resistance and to learn about actions you can take to participate in the struggle against destructive extractive projects in Honduras. \nRegister in advance here.

SUMMARY:SOCAN: Discussion with Sen. Merkley on Climate
DESCRIPTION:From Southern Oregon Climate Action Now: \nDespite holding a bare minimum of control in both chambers\, during the last Congress Democrats managed to pass the Inflation Reduction Act\, the most ambitious legislation targeting the climate crisis ever signed into law. However\, as we enter a two-year period with Republican climate deniers in charge of the House\, we now face the question of how we can continue and expand upon this climate action at the federal level. Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley will join an upcoming discussion to highlight continued opportunities for federal action\, particularly from the executive branch\, including implementing the legislation passed last Congress. \nAt our January monthly public general meeting\, on Tuesday January 31 st at 6:00pm\, Southern Oregon Climate Action Now will host Oregon Senator Merkley to discuss: Expanding U.S. Climate Ambition in 2023. \nThere is no charge for joining the ZOOM meeting\, but participants should register at the link on the SOCAN calendar event: https://socan.eco/events/.

SUMMARY:Is Israel an Apartheid State?
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will look at the topic and the following: \nDoes Israel’s treatment of Palestinians constitute a form of apartheid–the systematic segregation and discrimination of a population on the basis of race\, first put into place in South Africa? Such is the claim of the UN\, Amnesty International\, B’Tselem\, Human Rights Watch\, and journalists from a range of media. The International Criminal Court has labeled apartheid “a crime against humanity.” Two short documentary films explore the separate and distinct laws\, physical infrastructure\, civil systems and military enforcement applied to Palestinians in Israel and in the occupied territories. If this is apartheid\, what is the authority of the UN and the ICC to adjudicate Israel’s violation of international law? Israel’s newly elected right-wing government promises more extreme forms of discrimination\, exclusion\, and violence directed at Palestinian citizens of Israel and in the occupied territories. \nWatch the film for free at your convenience | Join the Q&A Discussion with an expert panel. \nSaleh Hijazi: Former Deputy Regional Direct – MENA at Amnesty International\nMichael Lynk: Author\, Associate Professor of Law at Western University\, former UNHCR Special Rapporteur for Palestinian Territories\nEdwin Arrison: Anglican Priest\, Development Officer – Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation\nJonathan Kuttab (moderator):  Attorney\, author\, Exec.
