SUMMARY:Businesses Taking Action: SOCAN Introduces Program
DESCRIPTION:September 28th at 6:00 pm\, Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) will introduce their Businesses Taking Action program\, explain how it achieves its purpose\, and provide an opportunity for three recognized businesses to discuss what they are doing and why. \nThe group has coordinated a panel including OSU student Gabriela Safay who developed the program as a SOCAN Intern\, Constance Palaia from Motel del Rogue (http://moteldelrogue.com/)\, Anne Carter from the Medford Food Coop (https://medfordfood.coop/)\, and Erin Douglas from Banyan Botanicals (https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/). \nThe Zoom program is free and open to the public but attendees need to Register at https://bit.ly/Businesses-Taking-Action to receive the URL for the meeting. A video of the program will be available after the presentation on the SOCAN website. \nWhich businesses should we support? \nMany in the business community attempt to conduct their operations in line with their personal values. This can involve being responsible for environmental protection or maintaining a business climate of social justice both in terms of employees and customers. Unfortunately\, only too often\, such business behavior goes unrecognized and unappreciated. Through its ‘Businesses Taking Action’ project\, Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) seeks to provide businesses displaying environmental and social justice sensitivity with the recognition they deserve while also providing potential customers the opportunity to use this information when deciding which business to support.

SUMMARY:SOCAN: The Impact of Climate Change on Species of Concern.
DESCRIPTION:Species across the planet are adapted to the climate where they live. A climate shift of just a few degrees\, or inches of rainfall\, can render current locations uninhabitable to many species. The consequences will be one of adaptation to changing conditions\, range shift\, or extinction. Our native plants and animals are all at risk as climate change continues uncontrolled. \nThe Southern Oregon Climate Action Now August 2021 monthly program will be devoted to a discussion of regional species of plants and animals that are threatened by our changing climate. Offered as a ZOOM program\, the presentations will be held on Tuesday August 27th from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. \n  \nThe program is free\, but the link to registration is on the August 27th listing at https://socan.eco/events/. \nPresenters for ‘The impact of climate change on species of concern’ will be Michael Parker from the Biology Department at Southern Oregon University\, and John Villella\, from Siskiyou BioSurvey LLC\, Eagle Point. \n

SUMMARY:SOCAN Monthly Meeting: Preparing for Wildfire
DESCRIPTION:As the summers’ sweltering heat reminds us\, fire risk is here and now. Last year’s fires were devastating\, but the consequences of ongoing global warming tells us a repeat is almost inevitable. The message is that while we hope for the best we should prepare for the worst – a return of fire to our neighborhoods. While the fire may be probable\, we are not helpless. The July Southern Oregon Climate Action Now public general meeting will be devoted to a discussion of how we can better prepare for this future. \nJoseph Vaile and Alexi Lovechio will offer tips on how to prepare your family\, home and community for a wildfire emergency using KS Wild’s new Forest & Fire Toolkit. This toolkit is a ‘one stop shop’ for all the resources we need to acquaint ourselves with the forests of the Siskiyou region and how to prepare our home for a wildfire. Included are invaluable resources on how to harden your home and create defensible space\, funding opportunities for home defense\, post fire checklist and financial assistance\, and steps to plan and be ready for a wildfire emergency and evacuation. \nWe know that the Siskiyou region is experiencing warmer temperatures\, with longer periods of dry weather and drought. Increasing residential development into forestlands places more homes and communities at-risk from wildfire. There is no future free from wildfire\, but there are actions we can take to help prepare for the next one. This is an opportunity to learn what we can do. \nLink to Register \nThese meetings are free and open to the public

SUMMARY:Symposium: The New Paradigm in Politics
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of Ervin Laszlo and all our colleagues at the Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research\, we extend a special invitation to join our upcoming three-day global online symposium on “The New Paradigm in Politics”\, scheduled for Friday\, July 23\, through Sunday\, July 25\, 2021. \nThe old\, corrupt\, and dysfunctional political order on planet Earth has reached the end of the line. To avoid universal disaster\, our entire human family must now come together to establish a locally rooted\, ecologically responsible\, unlimitedly networked\, and spiritually illumined global democracy worthy of the name. This is the defining task of our time. This is the next evolutionary leap in human consciousness and action that the “New Paradigm in Politics” online symposium proposes to serve. For this symposium\, we have designed a sequence of lectures and conversations that we believe sets the stage for time timely emergence of just such a pattern. \nSign up for free

SUMMARY:Tell the Banks: No Line 3 Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:Next Friday\, June 16\, climate activists will hold brief vigils at the Ashland branches of three Wall Street banks that are financing Enbridge’s Line 3 tar sands pipeline. Participants will gather at 9 a.m. in the Ashland Plaza\, then proceed to Chase\, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. \nThis local action will be one of many actions across the nation between July 12th and 18th\, as a strategy in pressuring the mega banks to not renew financing that is expiring at the end of July. The movement is led by Indigenous leaders whose ancestral and sacred lands in northern Minnesota face desecration and destruction with the new pipeline construction. \nLine 3 will be an enlarged replacement for a dangerously deteriorated existing pipeline that brings Canadian tar sand bitumen—the dirtiest form of oil—to Gulf Coast refineries. The targeted banks are major lenders to Enbridge. Some of their loans are about to come due\, and the goal is to persuade the banks not to renew them. \nThese local actions are being planned by Peace House and South Mountain Friends Meeting (Quakers). Other organizations\, including SOCAN\, are welcome to join as sponsors.

SUMMARY:SOCAN Monthly Meeting: Climate Change Communication
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon Climate Action Now is excited to devote our monthly meeting program to a presentation by Dr. Jennifer Marlon\, Research Scientist with the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication.  Dr. Marlon will identify tactics that we might consider using as we try to discuss climate science with those less convinced than we are. \nFrom SOCAN: “When we engage with individuals on touchy issues\, it is always preferable to know where our conversation partner stands and adjust our approach accordingly.  In exploring attitudes of Americans to the conclusions of climate science\, the Yale Program has reported that Americans fall into one of six categories.  This underlines the reality that how we engage in discussions with individuals will depend on their attitudes.  Jennifer will explore how we can adjust our approach depending on the preconceptions of the person with whom we are engaging.” \nThe program is scheduled for Tuesday June 29th from 6:00 – 7:30 pm.  It will be free and accessible via ZOOM. To register and receive the URL\, visit the SOCAN calendar at https://socan.eco/events/.
