Community Calendar

Oregonians are rightfully proud of our unique and beautiful state. Indeed, so committed are we to this delightful corner of the universe that many of us probably think that the health and safety of our environment is constitutionally protected. This is not the case!
The Public Trust Doctrine, which dates from ancient Roman Law, asserts that sovereigns and governments have a duty to manage natural resources (our land, water, air and ecosystems) for the ongoing benefit of the public. We currently protect our environment through laws established by the legislature, interpreted by the courts, and enforced by state agencies. State agencies then enforce the regulations. However, we enjoy no explicit constitutional guarantee to the safe and healthy environment that we would like to maintain or restore. Accordingly, the Oregon Coalition for an Environmental Rights Amendment (OCERA) argues that we should consider enshrining such a right into our state Constitution to secure a sustainable, prosperous future.
The question before us is this: Is there a reason for Oregonians to support a Constitutional Amendment to enshrine for us the right to a safe and healthy environment? Mel Martin, OCERA Coordinator will join Southern Oregon Climate Action Now on Thursday April 2nd at 5:30 pm at Troon Vineyard and Farm to explore this question and seek comments and stories from Southern Oregonians about how climate change and such an amendment might affect them.

We are a Zen practice community in the Diamond Sangha lineage founded by Robert Aitken Rōshi. We provide zazen(meditation) instruction, weekly zazen, practice talks, Dharma discussions and more.

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. The Declaration of Independence
is our fundamental ethical document. How are these documents working today?
What role do “we the people” have in understanding and dealing with them? Join
our conversations in the Jacksonville Branch Library Community Room:

Thursday, April 2 6 - 7;30 pm - The Declaration of Independence
