*Why should you attend? *
This Town Hall happens right when Congress needs to vote on funding of this
war. This is a crystal clear moment where elected officials do not get to hide
behind language - they either vote yes, no, or miss the vote.

We care how they vote, not what they say. Our congress folks have done
everything possible to avoid this conversation with us, but the people have

Equality" is hearing public testimony in Bend this Thursday from 4pm to 7pm in

behalf of equal rights for gender and sexual minorities in Oregon.  Please help

Talking Points and Details are below.

Emphasizing that Bend has actually led the state on these issues of fairness by
passing an
anti-discrimination law two years ago--one that has had only a positive
effect for the community--good for business, good for the community, no
negative impact on churches, dire predictions of opposition have not
come true etc.

Hello All!

As you know, Human Dignity Coalition has been working to insure that Deschutes
County is accessible for all people regardless of physical ability, age, or
stage of life (remember that us moms with strollers use ramps too!)



We have a new Accessibility Manager in Bend and that is good news! But we still
want to see the City insure that she has the reigns, reach and resources to
make true change happen!

Bridge (not Columbia as stated earlier this week.) Sorry about any confusion.
Also I've included a few more details for the event, read on... and see you
tomorrow! Peace, Jenni

In preparation for this weekend, don't forget to bring these items:

  * Something to float the river in.  Alder Creek is loaning us a bunch of Life
    Jackets, so we'll cover that. There's a shuttle service that will help
    folks back to McKay Park unless you have a canoe.  It runs until 6:00 pm
    and then we'll likely have a friend do a final round for stragglers.
  * A blanket or chair to rest your bootie in.  And perhaps a lovely colorful
    sun umbrella?
  * We're looking at 90 degree temps for Saturday, so bring LOTS of water to
    drink and sunblock!

(Central Oregon Basic Rights Action Team.)  This is a great opportunity to get
involved. For more info, contact Bruce directly, his info is at the bottom of
the page. Peace, Jenni

Thursday, June 1 at 6:30 PM in the Brooks Room at the Bend Public library (on
Wall just South of Downtown.).

We will be discussing two actions for the next few weeks and then talk about
how to relate the great plan we made at the March workshop into something
doable in chewable chunks in the next few months to advance our movement.

The two things are (1) a Booth at the Bend Pride Picnic June 24 (where Basic
Rights Oregon is one of the sponsors) and (2) a letter campaign to Chuck
Burley.

for Monday's City Council work session on affordable housing--and the City
Council decided to fast-track proposed ordinances that would provide
protections to mobile home residents faced with park closures and evictions.
THE CITY COUNCIL WILL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND POSSIBLY A FIRST READING OF AN
ORDINANCE AT 7 PM, WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, AT BEND CITY HALL. We know that the
mobile home park owners and their allies in the real estate/development
industry will try to delay and stop the City Council from moving forward to
protect mobile home residents. They will be out in force at the Council
meeting. We need to out-number them with massive people power in support of a
righteous struggle for affordable housing in our community. With your help, we
can win this fight! Please come to the meeting, show your solidarity, and speak
out in support of mobile home residents who have organized TUFF, Tenants United
for Fairness. TUFF organizers--Nate and KT Lund, Barbara Rebenstorf, Fernando
Gapasin--are JwJ members and community activists who have worked for equal

affordable housing.  It starts at 5pm, not at 6 as the previous email
stated.

The TUFF (Tenantes United For Fairness) need a strong show of support for the
new affordable housing initiatives that will be put on the table. Be there to
support the idea that everyone deserves a decent place to live at an affordable
cost.

Thanks! Jenni
