Call to Demand Justice!
 
 
 
 We mourn the life of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man
killed by Minneapolis police on Monday.
 
 
 
Please take the action of making a call to express your outrage at the killing of George Floyd, and demand that justice be done -- those officers have been fired, and now they need to be charged. 
 
Please call 612-324-4499 right now. This is a special hotline that we built just for this case.
 
When you call, you will hear my voice (Shaun King). I'll coach you through the whole thing. And we will connect you to all of the people and offices that can arrest the men who murdered Big Floyd, as George was called.
 
Save that number. Lock it in. Then share it everywhere. Post it in your IG story and tag me and @grassrootslaw. Film yourself making the calls and tag us. 
 
We stand in solidarity with the Black liberation movement in the work to put an end to white supremacy and its systems of brutal oppression. 
 
It's time to get justice for Big Floyd. 
 


 
CALC has produced a new web page:

Thanks to the hundreds who have signed our petition to Gov. Brown we're more than a third of the way to our goal of 800 signatures! If you haven't signed it yet, please  take a moment TODAY ! Let's let Gov. Brown know:join with the people to ensure that Oregon will not back down on climate change justice !

In these difficult times we stop to reflect on the significance of the seven principles of Kwanzaa derived from the traditions in Ancient Africa, seeing to the well being of the family unit is prominent, and extending to a sense of duty and purpose to all of society. Stewardship and balance are mandatory as we work to keep our communities positively engaged in unity and purpose. During this time, and just past Earth Day, let us remember our debt to Mother Earth and each other!

Businesses and individuals who can donate resources or other forms of support can visit this page. Monetary donations to offset the purchase of goods and services can also be made on this page.




  Ongoing Services
and Prevention Efforts


The HIV Alliance provides an extensive web page with their services and efforts  
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic:

 
In response to COVID-19, the following is a list
of actions the NAACP hopes local leaders are already
working on, or begin to work on immediately.
 
 
For City of Eugene and Springfield: 
  • Place moratoriums on home evictions.
  • Present emergency preparedness plan that clearly outlines how historically under served communities' needs will be addressed. Make plan available in Spanish.
  • Designate resiliency hubs where vulnerable communities can collect BASIC household items that the city can provide in the midst of empty grocery stores and sold out items.
  • Urge the state to implement an immediate moratorium on evictions, foreclosures and rent collections.
     
For EWEB, SUB and Northwest Natural Gas: 
  • Postpone collection of all utility bills for at least two months.
  • Cancel all scheduled shutoffs and shutoffs already in place.
     
For Medical Centers: 
  • Ensure that the legal status of individuals being tested for COVID-19 are not requested or disclosed.
  • Create PSA'S in Spanish that make it clear that legal status will not be requested during the testing of COVID-19.
  • Create PSA's that make the relation of Public Charge, OHP and other programs clear in relation to COVID-19 testing.

For School Districts:

Designate community partners, NGO's, and places of worship where families can pick up lunches for children during the times that they will not be in school.

For LTD:

Cancel collection of fares for the foreseeable future as economic pressures are intensifying on communities who are most dependent on public transit.

For Law Enforcement:
  • In order to prioritize resources for emergency responses, law enforcement should consider immediate release of people charged with non-violent offenses awaiting trial.
  • Devise a clear emergency procedure for potential outbreaks.



During this time our organization keeps working with clients by phone and
video conferencing.




We support with Oregon Health Plan (OHP) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) enrollment through the telephone and we also provide Telehealth services for mental health and drug and alcohol treatment. We continue to work hard to support our Latinx community that has been disproportionately affected by this crisis, we are raising funds to help with rent assistance. In addition, we are advocating for Latinx families to receive the support they need.
 
We acknowledge the importance for our clients to receive reliable information regarding COVID-19 in their native language. Hence, we are translating and sharing this information on our Facebook page and through a text alert system and a whatsapp alert system.  

 





Hate and Bias Hotline Opens
 

Whether it happened to you or to someone else, we can all help track hate and
bias incidents. The Non-Emergency Hotline is 1-844-924-BIAS(2427). 
 
Reports may be made online as well:


A hate and bias incident is any hostile expression that may be motivated by another person's race, color, disability, religion, national origin, sexual orientation or gender identity.

Hate and bias acts can be verbal, physical, or visual. This language and behavior often contributes to, or creates, an unsafe or unwelcoming environment. The act does not have to be a statutory crime.

Examples of an act of hate or bias include:
  • Name calling; using a racial, ethnic or other slur to identify someone; or using degrading language.
  • Creating racist or derogatory graffiti or images/drawings.
  • Imitating someone with a disability, or imitating someone's cultural norm or practice.

Oregon's Native Bees
Are In Steep Decline!




Native bees, such as bumblebees and solitary bees that provide essential pollination for agricultural crops and native plants, are in trouble. Many species are at risk of extinction. As pollinator populations decline, the lower production of healthy fruits and vegetables is placing the entire natural system in peril.


What can you do?

1. Do not apply neonics to your yard.
2. Grow bee-friendly flowers
3. Take a pledge to protect pollinators
4. Urge local food growers, nurseries and garden centers to support OPPA (Oregon Pollinator
    Protection Alliance)

Eugene Climate Action Plan

We received a message this week from the City of Eugene about next steps for revising the Climate Action Plan, using recommendations submitted via the community survey. They received about 300 recommendations and comments, and we know that many of those came from 350 activists! We see a lot of great content in there - if these recommendations are added in and committed to, the CAP will be greatly strengthened.   
 
If you would like to learn how the staff are planning to evaluate the survey comments, please see this document that shows the input in detail, and this message from Chelsea Clinton that explains some about how the Ad Hoc group will be involved.

Transit Team

Check out this video about Lane Transit District's recent climate mitigation efforts. 
 
"The real take-away is that ride hailing is not the answer to lowering our emissions and is actually going in the wrong direction.  Supporting biking/walking and transit first (when public health allows) is obvious.  Then when dealing with ride hailing, encouraging pooled ride hailing and encouraging transition to electric vehicles among ride hailing drivers/companies would be steps in the right direction."   Kelly Hoell, Lane Transit District, Sustainability Program Manager

Here is the Union of Concerned Scientists' report , "Ride -Hailing's Climate Risks."

 Ballot Initiative to Reform
the Redistricting Process




A coalition named People Not Politicians is beginning to collect signatures for a ballot initiative [IP57] titled "Legislative and Congressional Redistricting Reform Initiative."

Here's the intro from their web page:

"The process for drawing congressional and legislative district boundaries has, for too long, been controlled by politicians. Letting politicians manipulate voting maps is like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse. Politicians in power shouldn't be allowed to draw voting maps that benefit themselves and their party. But that's exactly how they do it now.

"People Not Politicians is proposing a ballot measure to reform that process and create a fairer, more transparent system. At its simplest, this initiative would create an independent citizen redistricting commission comprised of Oregonians."

Oregon is not the worst state for gerrymandering, but it does occur here. More severe problems in other states have been exacerbated by the Supreme Court's decision to leave the gerrymandering question up to each state. There are organizations advocating and organizing campaigns to establish these independent redistricting commissions in all states that haven't done so already. Let's add Oregon to that list of states. By doing so, we will be adding more pressure on those states refusing to draw fair districts, and we will prevent redistricting problems here.

You can read more about it, volunteer, donate, and sign the petition at:

  Immunity Passports:

Pandemic Privilege or Biological Discrimination?


Thursday, June 25, 4 p.m. PST

Register for the Zoom event   

-- or --

Watch on our Facebook page 


As governments around the world seek paths toward reopening their economies and away from the "social distancing" restrictions that have been imposed in order to control the spread of COVID-19, immunity passports have been proposed as one solution. The idea is to issue documents certifying that an individual has been infected, has developed antibodies, and has purportedly acquired immunity to COVID-19. Individuals who possess such "immunity passports" would be permitted to return to work, school, and daily life.

Françoise Baylis and Natalie Kofler will discuss and answer questions about the many ethical, practical, and scientific challenges posed by immunity passports and other types of state-sanctioned health checks.

A free CPR smartphone app called PulsePoint is now available for the Eugene Springfield Fire service area.

The PulsePoint app alerts subscribers who have indicated they are CPR-trained to a sudden cardiac arrest event. The alert is triggered by the 9-1-1 dispatch center at the same time that our firefighter paramedics are dispatched. The app uses advanced GPS technology to notify subscribers within a quarter mile of a cardiac arrest event. "CPR trained" can be defined as knowing how to administer Hands-Only CPR (no rescue breaths).

The app also directs subscribers to the location of the closest public access automated external defibrillator (AED). The app is only activated for cardiac arrest events in public places (not a private home).

Community Safety In Eugene

Over the past 5 years, Eugene's population has grown and so have our public safety needs. While many creative programs have been applied to this problem to maximize resources and meet community needs, the growing demand continues to outpace capacity causing critical gaps in community safety and services.

"Our community safety system is stressed," said City Manager Jon Ruiz. "Adding a separate, dedicated revenue source will enable us to respond to more calls in less time, and have the capacity to deter crime, hold chronic offenders accountable and help those who are willing to find a better path."

Hate and Bias Report 

The annual Hate and Bias Report is now available for 2018.

Hate & Bias Prevention
and Response Toolkit and Training



The City of Eugene is committed to working to make Eugene a welcoming and safe community for everyone. To achieve this, we must create an environment in which hatred and bigotry are not acceptable as they directly undermine the Eugene we all want to live in. Everyone has a stake in creating a community where every person feels welcome, valued and respected. Hate and bias have major impacts on victims, families, and communities at large.

The Human Rights and Neighborhood Involvement (HRNI) office has created a tool to help address hate/bias by learning to recognize the impact on our community and how to respond to incidents.

If you believe you are witness to or subject to a hate/bias incident, please call or report it to HRNI at 541-682-5177; if you believe you are a witness to, or a victim of, a hate crime please call 911 or 541-682-5111 if non-emergency.

The Eugene Toxics Right-to-Know Program was created and is governed by Section 54 of the Eugene City Charter. It requires that businesses meeting certain criteria report their hazardous substance use to the City, that the City make that information public, and that hazardous substance users pay fees as necessary to operate the program.

For more information on the Eugene Toxics Right-to-Know Program, contact Program Manager Jo Eppli at 541-682-7118.
