SUMMARY:Housing and Belonging - A Virtual Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Housing and houselessness are visible and divisive issues in local media\, in politics\, and across different communities within our state. Many community members were experiencing housing instability and economic uncertainty even during the “boom” times before the COVID-19 crisis. This conversation will explore common assumptions and perspectives about the experience of houselessness and how many make snap judgments about who ‘belongs’ in our neighborhoods. Presenters will seek to answer the questions\, How do we decide who ‘belongs’ in our community? And what actually makes us feel ‘safe’?    \nThis is a Conversation Project sponsored by Oregon Humanities. The Conversation Project brings people together to talk about their beliefs and experiences around timely and important issues and ideas.

SUMMARY:Combatting Racism on Oregon's Public Lands
DESCRIPTION:It is a known fact that racism is a problem on public lands\, and many communities do not feel safe or welcome when recreating. While efforts have been made by individual leaders and organizations to create more equitable and inclusive conditions\, the work is far from over. Luckily\, there are state-based solutions that seek to make a difference. \nJoin Oregon Wild for a discussion on what the state of Oregon is doing to address racism on public lands. Oregon Wild has hosted webinars in the past to learn about the challenges communities of color face in outdoor recreation and conservation\, but this webinar will explore solutions being implemented at the state level to address these injustices.
