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.

SUMMARY:Nature Play at Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION: \nWHAT: Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge is in the planning stage of creating a Nature Play Area at the Refuge. We’ve identified a site and are now to the point of imagining what the style of play could look like and what features will support that style. \nThis drop-in event will feature conceptual drawings\, displays about different types of nature play features\, tours of the nature play site (until it becomes too dark to do so)\, and refreshments. \nWHY: Tualatin River NWR endeavors to be an asset to the community and support a variety of nature-based activities. Safe\, off-trail\, free-play in nature has long been critical to the healthy development of children\, yet these opportunities are a dwindling resource. The Refuge has been a great place for families to learn about nature through programs and events for over two decades. Through this project\, we want to build on that connection through the joys of play. \nWHEN: Thursday November 7th\, from 3:30pm to 7:00pm \nWHERE: The Refuge Visitor Center’s Riparian Room (the community room to the right of the front desk). We will lead periodic tours to the Nature Play site that you will have the option to join. Water resistant footwear is recommended. \nWHO: Anyone with an interest in how the Refuge\, through free play in nature\, can be an asset to your personal child development goals or the goals of your organization. \nIf you have experience with children’s health\, mental and physical development\, play for all abilities\, or the design and construction of Nature Play Areas\, we would love to hear from you. \nIf you simply enjoy Nature Play and want to share the types of features you and your children love (even features that help you\, as a parent or guardian\, relax and let your children play freely)\, we want to hear from you\, too. \nCAN’T MAKE IT BUT ARE INTERESTED?\nSend an e-mail with your thoughts to tualatinriver@fws.gov

This social event is meant to be a chance to connect with others and to learn about the work of GlobalPDX members. This month we are delighted to highlight Jonathan Jennings\, Executive Director of Health in Harmony! Jonathan spent 10 years with Doctors Without Borders managing humanitarian programs in several African countries and in 2013 became the Deputy Executive Director of Doctors Without Borders Canada. Jonathan became increasingly dissatisfied with international aid programs focused only on helping people without addressing the root causes of climate breakdown and ecological collapse. Recognizing that human and environmental health are fundamentally intertwined\, he followed his vision for change\, becoming Executive Director of Health In Harmony in 2017.

SUMMARY:Ghost Net Landscape by Emily Miller
DESCRIPTION:“Ghost Net Landscape” by Emily Miller opens October 7th at the Kathrin Cawein Gallery.  The collaborative exhibit will feature Emily Miller’s finished sculptures created from plastic marine debris (“ghost net”) as well as over 1\,000 pounds of unprocessed fishing rope and net.  \nFor four weeks\, Emily will be working in the gallery alongside visitors\, processing the materials and creating finished sculptures. Artists and visitors of any artistic ability are encouraged to visit the space\, experiment with the material\, and create their own pieces. At the end of the exhibit\, visitors are encouraged to take materials home — continuing the idea of sustainable use of reclaimed materials. \nThe sculptures\, or baskets\, begin as fishing rope washed ashore on the beaches of Maine\, Oregon\, and Kauai. Cleaned\, unraveled\, and restitched\, the colorful rope becomes a collection of unique baskets accented with local stones and other treasures.  \nThe Kathrin Cawein Gallery is located in Scott Hall at Pacific University\, 2043 College Way\, Forest Grove\, Oregon. The gallery is open Monday-Friday\, from 1-5 PM\, through October 31st. An opening reception will be held Monday\, October 7th from 4-6 PM; the closing reception will be held Tuesday\, October 29th from 4-6 PM. \nIn partnership with Washington County Open Studios\, the gallery is also open Saturday\, October 19th and Sunday\, October 20th from 11-5 PM.  \nJoin Artist Emily Miller to make a visible difference in marine conservation\, transforming dangerous marine waste into objects of value.   \nThe Ghost Net Landscape exhibit will be a collaborative gallery space in partnership with CALC\, Eden Acres\, Pacific University\, SOLVE Oregon\, Oregon State Parks\, Surfrider Kauai\, Port of Grays Harbor\, and Ocean Gold Seafood. The exhibit is funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council.
