This important notice is from our friends at Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN)
The April SOCAN General meeting – our first in-person meeting since the COVID crisis – will feature members of the SOCAN Federal and State project team reporting on which legislative proposals are alive, which are not, and what climate conscious Oregonians can do to help those proposals that deserve our support.
After a hard-fought race for Governor in 2022, a campaign in which she highlighted support for climate action, Tina Kotek was triumphant against two candidates who both campaigned against climate action. Although the climate crisis is non-partisan, the Democratic Party as a whole embraced climate action while the opposition campaigned against it. The 2023 Legislative session in Salem reflects this dichotomy.
By late April, we’ll know which proposals have a chance for passage, and which have none; we will know which proposals are moving and could use rural Oregonian help, and which are not. The program will be held on April 25 from 6 to 7:30 pm at the Medford Public Library, 205 South Central Ave., in the large meeting room. + Google Map
