SUMMARY:2021-24 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) Comments
DESCRIPTION:The 2021-24 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) is now open for public comment. \nThe MTIP is an important guiding document for the region. Prepared by Metro every four years\, it records how all federal transportation money is spent in the Portland metropolitan area. It also records state- and locally-funded projects that may significantly affect the region’s air quality. \nThe 2021-2024 MTIP is not a bold\, equitable climate action plan; it is a direct pipeline to construction of fossil fuel infrastructure. Before we protest construction of this fossil fuel infrastructure in four years\, let’s begin shaping the future now. \nLearn more and see sample comments\, or head straight to the survey to give your feedback. Deadline Monday May 18. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck out our talking points here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTake the survey here!

SUMMARY:Senior Advocates Generational Equity: A House Divided
DESCRIPTION:Every American is affected by the divisions and outrage that prevent us from making progress on urgent problems. We are finding it harder and harder to even talk with one another\, and it is damaging in many ways. During our June 10 forum\, we will help participants deliberate together about how we should approach this long-term challenge.\n\nWe recognize there are no easy answers to the problem. Should we require more accurate\, respectful discussion in the media and online\, or would that stifle free speech? Should we reform politics and government to encourage compromise\, or will that mean giving up on the changes we really need and want? Should local communities set policies in areas like health care and the environment\, or would that risk the progress we’ve made and make further progress nearly impossible? Should we crack down on money in politics\, or will people just find new ways to evade the rules?\n\nOur part of the solution to these divisions is to bring people together from diverse backgrounds to listen and learn from one another. During this event\, we’ll present three options for deliberation about difficult problems. Each option offers advantages as well as risks. And each reflects different ways of understanding what is at stake\, forcing us to think about what matters most to us.\n\nAt the close of the forum\, you can expect to have learned more about the pros and cons of the options from different viewpoints. We also hope that you will make personal connections with other participants and that some participants will use practices from the forum to host similar conversations.\n\nOur first online forum filled within 15 minutes\, register for our second here!

SUMMARY:Shared Responsibility\, Global Solidarity; A Virtual Dialogue on SDG17 and Public Private Partnerships: COVID-19 Response and Recovery in the Framework of the 2030 Agenda
DESCRIPTION:Join our webinar that aims to provide ideas about how partnerships can be catalyzed and scaled up in the COVID-19 era to advance the 2030 agenda. \nThe unfolding pandemic crisis has challenged national governments\, the international community and the business community in fundamental ways. All attention is now turned to solidarity in meeting urgent health and economic needs of people. Launching a global COVID-19 response is now an imperative and overarching focus for the United Nations\, as it is for global business. \nEffective pandemic response and recovery alongside the Decade of Delivery and Action\, relies on making “business as usual” obsolete for both the private sector and the international community. Inclusive multilateralism is needed now more than ever\, including through animating shared value partnerships across governments\, inter-governmental bodies\, business and other stakeholders. \nOrganized by UN DESA\, IOE\, USCIB’s All In 2020 Campaign and the Business Partners for Sustainable Development (BPSD)\, this virtual dialogue will provide ideas about how such partnerships can be catalyzed and scaled up to advance the 2030 Agenda and inform the future work of the HLPF. \nApril 29th\, 9:00 AM-10:30 AM \nRegister here
