Willamette U, Divest Now! I just signed this petition -- will you?
Dear Friends,
I just signed the campaign: Divest Willamette University From Fossil Fuels.
I just signed the campaign: Divest Willamette University From Fossil Fuels.
The First University in the West should be among the First to Divest from Fossil Fuels!
It would mean the world if you could also add your name to this fossil fuel divestment campaign.
The divestment movement is catching on like wildfire, and with good reason:

The divestment movement is catching on like wildfire, and with good reason:
If it is wrong to wreck the climate, then it is wrong to profit from that wreckage, and to invest in a thing is to encourage more of it.
We believe that educational and religious institutions, city and state governments, and other institutions that serve the public good must divest from fossil fuels.
Every name that is added builds momentum around the divestment effort and makes it more likely for us to win. Will you join me by taking action on this campaign?

An Important Film on 1/17 as Corporate Orcs Descend on D.C.
One week from tonight:
Tuesday, January 17, 2017
at 7 PM
for
"We The People 2.0"
In spite of the legendary belief that the United States Constitution established a government of, by and for the people, it is the people themselves who have long been struggling to straighten the crooked bough of American law.
We
the People 2.0 confronts its viewers with the ravages of environmental
damages that corporations have done across America. Alongside
documenting grassroots activism, including the kayak flotillas that
protested Shell Oil in Seattle, the film focuses on legal challenges
presented to corporations by granting rights to ecosystems. Talking
heads include the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, a
nonprofit that helps small towns draft laws against fracking, factory
farming, and water privatization.
Our documentaries are followed by guest speakers and an audience discussion.
See below for more information.
And thank you for your support.

Strong Towns in Salem (Redux) on KMUZ's "The Forum" This Week
Please share with any who may have missed Chuck's presentations, and also those who caught it but would like to hear them again.
The Forum: Friday Dec 16 at 1pm and Sunday Dec 18 at 8am:
88.5 or 100.7 FM and streaming at kmuz.org

Strong towns are more than tall buildings. A city planner who came from "Minnesota Nice" to tell Oregonians that we're pretty nice, too, says to have a healthy town full of healthy people, it takes a mix of business and recreational space, transportation and investment, jobs and upkeep...and a successful neighborhood may be the one you never suspected.
Chuck Marohn is the organizer of Strong Towns, a movement that helps people figure out how to prosper and thrive. He tells how to study the heart of a city and why spending money on upkeep is the way to stay strong, on this week's Forum on KMUZ.
I wanted to let you know that the Chuck Mahron presentation on Strong Towns that he did last October will play on KMUZ's The Forum this Friday at 1pm and repeat Sunday at 8am. And will be podcast. Here's a link to the The Forum's FB page: https://www.facebook.com/KMUZForum/

Mark your Calendar: See "Where to Invade Next" as it was meant to be seen (In community)
Tuesday, 20 December, 7 p.m.
At the beautifully restored, comfortable -- almost luxurious -- Grand Theatre
191 High St NE, at the corner of Court and High St.
Probably Moore's best film because it is focused on solutions, often those first conceived in the United States, only to be ignored here and implemented elsewhere.
After-film speakers include Laurie Trieger of "Family Forward Oregon" and some dude who is pretty much a windbag from what I hear.
America’s favorite political provocateur, Michael Moore, is back with his new film, WHERE TO INVADE NEXT.
Honored by festivals and critics groups alike, WHERE TO INVADE NEXT is an expansive, hilarious, and subversive comedy in which the Academy Award®-winning director confronts the most pressing issues facing America today and finds solutions in the most unlikely places.
The creator of FAHRENHEIT 9/11 and BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE has returned with an epic movie that’s unlike anything he has done before—an eye-opening call to arms to capture the American Dream and restore it in, of all places, America.
To see the trailer: http://wheretoinvadenext.com/
Guest Speakers:
Laurie Trieger, Family Forward Oregon, Regional Outreach Director
Laurie is working with Family Forward Oregon to support a movement for family-friendly policies across Oregon; including paid sick time, affordable childcare, pay equity and retirement security for women, and paid family and medical leave. Laurie grew up in Philadelphia and enjoyed living on the Oregon coast for nearly three years before settling in Eugene in 1987. She has been involved with a variety of initiatives and organizations focused on poverty reduction, food policy, child wellness and healthy communities; including working in a women’s health clinic, serving as an advocate for a regional food bank, founding a public health nonprofit organization, and working in community economic development. She is a parent of two adult children, grandparent of twin boys, and a former foster parent. Before all this, Laurie worked for many years in the restaurant and retail sectors.
