SUMMARY:SAGE Panel on our Current Political Climate and Political Discourse
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel featuring Jack Miller\, a political science professor at Portland State University\, and Rebecca Tweed\, a top political strategist with over a decade of experience on state and local campaigns. Together they will examine the current political climate and discuss ways of promoting a healthy political discourse. They will seek to explain how political polarization breeds distrust\, disengagement\, and a retreat into opposing political echo chambers\, and they will explore ideas for changing the way we practice and talk about politics from across the political divide. \nFrom their different vantage points\, Miller and Tweed will elaborate on their ideas about reducing polarization and moving our communities in a direction of a healthy interaction and engagement. They share a commitment to helping Americans with different ideologies learn to work together on common concerns and shared goals\, even as they may disagree about what solutions to employ. The event concludes with audience questions and a brief discussion about how political divisiveness affects us personally\, how we may have more in common than we think\, and what each of us can do to promote a healthier political discourse.

SUMMARY:Climate Change\, Culture Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Ever since the Industrial Revolution in 1760\, the carbon dioxide level has increased dramatically in an unprecedented fashion. From global temperature rise and warming oceans to shrinking ice sheets and sea level rising\, we see how Earth is changing itself to accommodate for the increasing destruction of the environment (cite). However\, from the beginning of time\, our ancestors have been very kind to Earth resulting in a variety of indigenous sustainability practices. Join us for an open discussion about climate change and how it affects our home and people as well as share ways in which your communities have sustained Earth. \nWe strive to make our events inclusive and accessible. In order to ensure that reasonable accommodations are provided in time\, please make your requests as soon as possible to piaaa@pdx.edu or (503) 725-9390. \nLocation: Pacific Islander\, Asian and Asian American Student Center (SMSU 235)

SUMMARY:Permaculture Design for Climate Resilience with Andrew Millison
DESCRIPTION:As the climate shifts around the globe\, it is increasingly important for the permaculture designer to understand global trends and incorporate sound design to mitigate negative impacts. This talk focuses on looking at scientific projections of future scenarios from the lens of several climate classification systems\, learning about analogue (similar) climates\, and determining the major design essentials for resilience to future (and present) changes. \nBy analyzing the agro-ecologies of other global locales that match our region’s climate change projections\, we are more well-equipped to assess and implement local strategies for food system adaptation and resilience. \nAbout the Presenter: \n\nAndrew Millison has been studying\, teaching and practicing Permaculture since he took his first design course in 1996. He started teaching Permaculture at the college level in 2001\, and has been an instructor at OSU in the Horticulture Department since 2009. He embedded himself within Oregon State University\, and created the first Permaculture Massive Open Online Course with over 40\,000 students. Working at a major state university\, he has worked to promote the acceptance of permaculture into a mainstream academic institution.

SUMMARY:Columbia's Tim Boyle on Free Trade and Global Engagement at the Old Church
DESCRIPTION:Directly and indirectly\, Oregonians depend on free and fair trade. Whether it is Oregon farmers exporting their goods\, workers on the docks loading and unloading imported or exported cars and other products\, or innovators in the apparel and footwear industries creating the next hit for global markets\, Oregonians benefit from global engagement. \nFrom restrictions on international travel and legal immigration to tax reform to pulling back from international trade agreements\, how have the uncertainty created by recent policies effected the rules of global engagement and the ability to create economic opportunity?  What can we do to inspire a deeper investment in education at all levels so that Oregonians are prepared to understand and engage in the global economy? And how might we reinvigorate the idea that economic growth and quality of life are the direct beneficiaries of global engagement and free trade– a notion that is too often lost in political debates on all sides of the political aisle?

For two decades\, the series has put you in the room with the global leaders\, visionaries\, and inspiring voices that are changing our world. And this year is no different\, presenting an array of the people\, the big ideas\, and the issues framing our role on the world stage. \nFORMER UN AMBASSADOR & PULITZER PRIZE WINNER\nWhat can one person do? At a crossroads of debate about our role on the global stage and polarizing politics at home\, Samantha Power explores this urgent question—delving into a call for a clearer eye\, a kinder heart\, and a more open and civil hand in our politics and daily lives. \nBiography \nFormer U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power is a leading voice internationally for principled American engagement in the world.

As the 28th U.S. Ambassador to the UN\, Power became the public face of U.S. opposition to Russian aggression in Ukraine and Syria\, negotiated the toughest sanctions in a generation against North Korea\, lobbied to secure the release of political prisoners\, and helped mobilize global action against ISIL (ISIS). From 2009 to 2013\, she served on the National Security Council as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights. Called “a powerful crusader for U.S. foreign policy as well as human rights and democracy” by Forbes\, Ambassador Power was named one of Foreign Policy’s “Top 100 Global Thinkers.” \nBefore joining the U.S. government\, Ambassador Power was the founding executive director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School\, a columnist for Time\, and a National Magazine Award-winning contributor to the Atlantic\, the New Yorker\, and the New York Review of Books. \nSERIES TICKETS\nSeries tickets are now on sale.

SUMMARY:Gallery opening: "16 Cranes--Life & Survival in the Portland Harbor"
DESCRIPTION:December 1st Thursday opening of “16 Cranes\,” an  exhibit of landscape photographs of the Portland Harbor\, the last 10 miles of the Willamette River\, also known as Portland’s superfund site. Photographs were taken with these question in mind: “How does an industrial corridor get rehabilitated to ecological health while it remains an active shipping channel? How do the conflicts between our economy and our environment get resolved in an ecologically sustainable way?”                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The title comes from the number of industrial cranes counted from Swan Island to the Columbia River (actual numbers may vary). \n

SUMMARY:Metro Bond Nature for All Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Greater Portland residents said yes to clean water\, healthy fish and wildlife habitat\, and nature close to home by investing $475 million in their regional park system. Results show Metro’s parks and nature bond measure passing with 67 percent of the vote\, making it possible to buy and restore land\, improve Metro parks\, build trails and support community projects across Clackamas\, Multnomah and Washington counties. \nThrough this bond measure\, Metro is taking bold steps to make sure all people benefit from investments in nature – especially people of color\, Indigenous people\, people with disabilities and others who have often been ignored or harmed by public investments. This is an historic moment for advancing equity in greater Portland. \nProgress is possible thanks to partners and community members like you. Hundreds of people contributed time\, energy and ideas to shape the next two decades of investments in the region’s parks and nature system. \nWe hope you can join us from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday\, Dec. 4 to celebrate the accomplishments – and relationships – that we are building together. Please RSVP here to let us know you’ll join Metro and The Intertwine Alliance for this special evening of food\, drinks and fun. \nOf course\, today is just the beginning of the next chapter in greater Portland’s commitment to healthy lands and healthy people. Over the coming months\, we’ll reach out about ways to get involved in selecting projects and bringing the new bond measure to life. \nIn each of the last two years\, we’ve asked voters whether they support the investments that make our region livable and affordable. This election is further evidence that the work we’ve done for decades at Metro is supported and understood by our region. \nWe are proud of Metro’s track record improving greater Portland through investments that affect people’s everyday lives\, from parks\, trails and natural areas to affordable housing. We hope you’ll also join the conversation about investing in safe\, reliable transportation.

SUMMARY:Virtual 17 Rooms-U Global Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The SUNY COIL Center is hosting a global online discussion of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) during International Education Week.  We invite participation in any language and encourage contributions from all over the world. Participants can join the conversation on either platform at any time. \nWe are offering two platforms for the discussions.  Slow Twitter chats will unfold over the course of each day\, allowing participants to join when they like\, while also allowing immediate responses and synchronous discussions.  Padlet is an online collaboration tool in the form of a discussion board\, where participants can post reflections\, questions\, videos and photos\, and respond to other posts in threaded comments. Twitter requires an account\, but Padlet can be accessed as a guest. \nStudents\, staff\, and professors can pick one or more of the SDGs to discuss. There are separate channels for discussion of each SDG. Each day we will post a question for reflection and comment. Questions will move from defining the issues\, to taking stock of existing approaches in different parts of the world\, to idea generation\, to commitment to action. \nThis is a great way to engage students\, staff\, and faculty with their peers around the world on issues that impact all of us. This online event is free and open to the public\, and we encourage you to share this opportunity with your colleagues and networks. The event website has information about the event\, how to join\, and how to learn more about the SDGs\, which you can find at http://bit.ly/17roomsu. We have created materials you can use to promote participation here: http://bit.ly/17roomsudocs.

SUMMARY:Exploring Power and Privilege
DESCRIPTION:Justice\, Equity\, Diversity & Inclusion is an important focus of our climate justice work at 350PDX. \nExploring our relationships to power and privilege is key to being able to foster broad partnerships and coalitions\, which allows us to build the movement of movements we need in order to win a bold Green New Deal. \nAs individuals and groups\, we experience varying levels of privilege and power. Recognizing our relationship to institutionalized oppression can bring feelings of defensiveness\, guilt\, shame\, rage\, terror\, and grief\, among other emotions. \nJoin 350PDX and Oregon Humanities in this conversation project\, “Exploring Power and Privilege with Courage\, Creativity\, and Compassion.” \nRSVP here to attend! \nWhat will we be discussing? \nHow can we craft transformative pathways for these feelings to unfold in ways that deepen our collective healing\, rather than taking away from it? What transformations can we unlock when we choose courage\, creativity\, and compassion? What do we\, as individuals and communities\, need in order to heal and thrive in a beautiful and broken world? \nFacilitator Ridhi D’Cruz invites us to metabolize our participation in systems of oppression with vulnerability\, forgiveness and empathy. This conversation may include hands-on activities. \nWho is facilitating this conversation? \nRidhi D’Cruz is a placemaking consultant\, sociocultural anthropologist\, and permaculture educator living in Portland. They work to foster place-based empowerment within diverse communities\, including people facing housing insecurity and governmental agencies\, by drawing on diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, cultural sustainability\, social permaculture\, and placemaking and asset-based community development. They also enthusiastically participate in life affirming practices involving urban wildcrafting\, plant medicine\, natural building\, and participatory technology. Ridhi is currently a co-executive director of City Repair Project\, a grassroots placemaking nonprofit organizations in Portland. \nWatch this video to hear Ridhi speak about this conversation project! \nAccessibility \nThe Fellowship Hall at Central Lutheran Church (1820 NE 21st Avenue) is ADA accessible with both gender neutral and gendered bathrooms available. We will have an ASL interpretation onsite. Childcare will also be provided. Please reach out to Anissa at anissa@350pdx.org if additional accommodations and accessibility options are required for you to participate fully in this event.
