SUMMARY:Our money supports fossil fuels: let’s divest together
DESCRIPTION:Because of policies in the state treasury\, our money is being used to support fossil fuel extraction and distribution. We think it’s time to end this investment strategy. \nAccording to the Oregon State Treasury statement\, its balance as of the end of 2022 was $134 billion. This includes monies paid into the Public Employees Retirement System and held in trust by Treasury for state agencies and entities. Overseeing the investment and allocation of State of Oregon trust funds is the Oregon Investment Council\, composed of four members appointed by the governor with the Treasurer and Director of the Public Employees Retirement System serving as a function of their offices. \nThose managing state funds have a fiduciary responsibility to manage them in a manner that best serves those to whom the money belongs. This means those paying into PERS and the citizens of the state. Since\, by their electoral decisions\, Oregonians have indicated a desire to address the global climate crisis\, this means also that the investment of state (our) funds should not serve to promote the climate crisis by supporting fossil fuel corporations. \nDuring the last two Oregon Legislative Sessions\, Divest Oregon has sought to require the Treasury to be more transparent in its investment practices and targets\, and to commit to divesting from fossil fuels. Despite recognition that investing in fossil fuel corporations is potentially a risky financial tactic\, Treasury has resisted this effort and has successfully defeated legislation that would have moved the state forward in the direction of divestment and greater transparency. \nThe best response so far from the Treasury exhibits no urgency and simply supports the transition of funds to a net-zero carbon emission portfolio by no later than 2050\, a date by which we know humanity needs to have achieved net zero emissions of greenhouse gases already. \nThe Southern Oregon Climate Action Now monthly general meeting\, held  Tuesday\, June 27\, will focus on the efforts of Divest Oregon to bring the Treasury more in line with the wishes of the majority of Oregon citizens. The program will feature Rory Cowal from Divest Oregon\, who will discuss the reasons for divestment\, the efforts of Divest Oregon to achieve it\, what the next steps will be subsequent to the failure of HB2601 during the 2023 session\, and what we can do individually to invest conscientiously. \nThe program run from 6 to 7 p.m. via ZOOM. There is no charge for joining the ZOOM meeting\, but participants must register at the link on the SOCAN calendar event: https://socan.eco/event/divest-together/.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk About Viewpoint Diversity: What It Is\, Why We Need It\, and What Gets in the Way by Marla Estes
DESCRIPTION:Diversity is a word we hear a lot these days. And rightly so. But … not so much “ViewPoint Diversity” (VPD.) \nVPD allows us to comprehend the other side’s viewpoint in such a way that it informs and impacts the way we see the whole issue. This is useful at the workplace\, in couples\, in families and in politics. \nVPD allows us to zoom out and get the biggest view we can — so that we can make optimal decisions and take effective action that will sustainably work in the long run. \nWe are often convinced we’re perceiving the world accurately through our personal experience and the information (accurate or not) to which we’ve exposed ourselves. VPD can illuminate our blinds spots. Given that there is not one of us who can understand everything about anything\, VPD is crucial. NOTE: We will not be discussing specific political issues. \nFacilitator Marla Estes\, M.A. has a background in Psychology. Since 2007\, she has taught workshops using film as a way to gain a better understanding of ourselves and others. She created Building Bridgers to address the political polarization in our country. Since 2017\, she has been giving presentations\, movie nights\, book groups\, workshops\, and classes. Her focus is on education and helping people to develop insights and skills in approaching difficult conversations. \nPresenter’s Website: https://www.BuildingBridgers.com
