SUMMARY:How to be an Antiracist
DESCRIPTION:When the first Black president headed into the White House\, Americans were imagining their nation as colorblind and went so far as to call it post-racial. With the arrival of Donald Trump\, many people are awakening and seeing racial reality for the first time. With opened minds\, people are actively trying to understand racism. In this deeply personal and empowering lecture\, Kendi shifts the discussion from how not to be racist\, to how to be an antiracist. He shares his own racist ideas and how he overcame them. He provides direction to people and institutions who want more than just band-aid programs\, but actual antiracist action that builds an antiracist America. \nIbram X. Kendi is Professor of History and International Relations and the Founding Director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University. He is a frequent public speaker who speaks with great expertise and compassion about the findings of his book and how they can fit into the national conversation on racial and social justice. \nKendi has received research fellowships\, grants\, and visiting appointments from a variety of universities\, foundations\, professional associations\, and libraries\, including the American Historical Association\, Library of Congress\, National Academy of Education\, Spencer Foundation\, Lyndon B. Johnson Library & Museum\, Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis\, Brown University\, Princeton University\, Duke University\, University of Chicago\, and UCLA. Most recently\, he was named a 2019 Guggenheim Fellow for his work. \nThe Racial Equity Speaker series consists of events throughout the year with speakers highlighting national and regional racial equity issues. \nThank you to our partners\, Casey Family Programs\, Grantmakers of Oregon and Southwest Washington\, and Portland Community College Foundation.

SUMMARY:Mutualism\, deception\, and self-defense: the complex dance of coevolution in insects and plants
DESCRIPTION:Celeste Searles Mazzacano\, PhD \nLearn about some of the fascinating and intricate ways in which plants and insects have evolved to affect each other’s traits and behaviors\, including defensive arms races\, attraction to sweet rewards\, and trickery and death traps. \nCeleste Searles Mazzacano is the Owner and Principal Scientist at CASM Environmental LLC\, where her work focuses on insects\, freshwater mussels\, and other invertebrates.

SUMMARY:Nature for All Campaign Launch
DESCRIPTION:This November\, voters throughout our region will have the opportunity to continue protecting rivers and wetlands\, habitat and open space\, as well as to invest in parks\, by renewing the Nature for All bond. Please join us as we launch the campaign to pass this exciting and important measure on Thursday\, Sept. 19\, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Cully Park in Northeast Portland. \nThe Nature for All campaign launch will center community\, diversity\, and families across the region with interactive activities\, healthy snacks\, and speakers representing our communities. Our mission is to gather friends\, neighbors\, community partners\, and other stakeholders to celebrate the efforts to create Measure 26-203 — and to look ahead to winning the campaign come November. \nWe also need volunteers the day of the launch to greet people and do a bit of crowd canvassing with the goal of recruiting campaign volunteers. If you’re interested\, please sign up here. \nThe Nature for All campaign has a critical opportunity to put community first to build lasting relationships that span beyond Election Day. We recognize that it’s not just about winning\, it’s about the impact of meaningful conversations with voters about why access to parks and green spaces contributes to the quality of life we’ve come to cherish across our region. Measure 26-203 was informed by communities of color to deliberately make key investments that ensure historically underserved areas have access to parks and conservation areas. \nOur coalition is made up of dozens of organizations\, including 1000 Friends of Oregon\, Verde\, AFSCME 3580\, The Nature Conservancy\, East County Rising\, Depave and The Trust for Public Land. To join these incredible organizations and businesses in the effort to pass the Nature for All bond\, endorse today!

SUMMARY:Climate Strike Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Earlier this year\, Greta Thunberg and 46 other youth activists issued a call to everyone around the globe to join them in a massive climate strike on September 20th. The Climate Strike will kick-off a week of mass\, escalated actions between Sept 20-28. \nSchool strikers are calling on everyone ― young people\, parents\, workers\, and all concerned people ― to join a massive climate strike on September 20th to demand an end to the age of fossil fuels. \nOur house is on fire — let’s act like it. We demand climate justice for everyone. \nThis week is our chance to show the politicians and fossil fuel billionaires that the real power lies with the people. This week is your chance to join the climate justice movement\, and put a stop to business as usual. \nIn every state and every city people are stepping out their normal routines for a day or a week by taking action locally\, whether that means sitting in at city halls\, shutting down fossil fuel infrastructure\, or marching to the governor’s office. It’s going to take all of us to change everything and there’s no better time to join us. \nThe week kicks off with the massive Sept 20th Global Climate Strike\, followed by a week of actions\, trainings\, events\, orientations\, art builds\, and more.
