Jeanne —
We’re working on cooking up a super-exciting regional Agents of Change training for next summer—in concert with 350PDX and other Oregon forest defenders (sadly, we had to cancel this year’s Agents of Change). As part of that, we’d love for you to join us in Oregon from September 16th -18th for Deep Roots: Trainings for Forest & Climate Action, to learn and practice nonviolent direct action skills, connect with others in the forest and climate defense communities, and sleep under the stars in an old growth forest.
We know it’s a long way, but it will be worth it!
The camp will take place in the proposed Flat Country timber sale, an old growth forest set to be logged within the Willamette National Forest, near the town of McKenzie Bridge, OR. These crucial forests are located in the headwaters of the iconic McKenzie River, a drinking water source for many. Together, we’ll learn and draw from the lessons and strengths of both the climate justice and forest defense movements, with the goal of building a vibrant direct action movement to protect our communities, forests, and climate.
We’ll build relationships, learn new skills, and get connected with ongoing campaigns to protect communities, climate, and forests throughout the PNW. Trainings & workshops include organizing & participating in direct action, creating vibrant protest art, decolonization and forest defense, Know Your Rights, organizing with affinity groups, and more.
Following the camp, there will be opportunities to plug into upcoming actions and campaigns, including a kayak flotilla on the McKenzie River in opposition to the Flat Country timber sale. For more information or if you need to borrow camping gear, reach out to the Oregon coordinator of the camp. If you want to offer or look for a ride, use this group carpool.
