Are you listening to the news of the world right now and wondering, "What can I do?!" We've got just the thing for you. KS Wild hosts monthly Activist Nights where we bring you a fresh topic every month to learn about what's happening on your public lands and offer quick, easy, actionable opportunities to stand up for the places that make our area so special and beautiful.

For this month's KS Wild Activist Night, we are digging into the 2001 Roadless Rule. What is it, how did it come to be, why is it important to protect our wildlands, and what's under threat with the proposal to revoke it.

Join us at the KS Wild office from 6-7pm on Thursday, August 27th for a virtual trip into some of our most beloved wildlands that fall under an "Inventoried Roadless Area" protection and learn how you can help stand up with us to protect them.

These Activist Nights are FREE and open to folks of all ages who wish to learn more about ways they can step up into action for their rights and the places they care about most. Sign up for this month's Activist Night below to receive information about our monthly topic and about what to bring.

Why Are Oregon Schools FAILING?

Oregon ranks at the bottom nationally for K–12 academic success. We also have some of the lowest attendance and graduation rates. Salem politicians say they’re going to hold schools accountable. But that’s of little use if we don’t fix the root cause of failure.

Join us at the Medford Library for an information-rich exchange about how we rebuild Oregon K–12 Education to succeed.

Join Lori Grable for a Beginning Yoga class! This class is open to anyone who is interested in trying out yoga for the first time or wants a refresher yoga class after a layoff. Come with comfortable clothes, a yoga mat and water bottle. New students can arrive at 10:15.

Instructor Bio: Lori began her yoga journey in 2000 as a student at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center. She was drawn to the practice because it helped her to reconnect with her most authentic self while making her stronger and more open, physically and mentally. Her passion for yoga grew stronger as she traveled around the United States during the summer of 2003, practicing at many studios along the way. After settling in Pittsburgh, PA, she completed her teacher training and began teaching in 2006.

Today, Lori is an E-RYT 500 and teaches Vinyasa-based classes. She is influenced by the philosophy and alignment principles of Anusara Yoga. As a triathlete, Lori has an interest in yoga for athletes and has taught many workshops on the topic. She has a passion for the outdoors and has taught yoga in parks, vineyards, and backyards. Lori appreciates the healing and restorative qualities of yoga and has also worked with students who are recovering from illness, rehabilitating injuries, pregnant, or elderly.
