This Is What Democracy Looks Like: A Teach-In on Participatory Democracy
Participation in our democracy shouldn’t start and end with voting. We must engage in deeper processes to ensure that those closest to the problems are centered in creating the solutions. One way to do this is through participatory democracy. Join us for a teach-in to learn more about what democracy can and should look like.

Oregon Cancel-the-Rent Digital Town Hall
(Asamblea Virtual – Cancelando la Renta en Oregón)
Join us to hear about why tenant leaders across Oregon are demanding a cancellation of rents and mortgages across the state due to the pandemic. Those who face eviction now are those who were already the most vulnerable: Black, Indigenous, Asian, Latinx, immigrant, refugee, houseless and low-income folks. Hear from policy experts, on-the-ground organizers, and tenant leaders on how we can prevent a wave of evictions. As the end of the eviction moratorium on June 30 inches nearer, this webinar will walk us through why bold action in this crisis can't wait.

Centering Grassroots Visions to Reimagine Public Safety: Lessons from Austin and Oakland
In response to demands for transformation, several cities formed “Reimagining Public Safety Task Forces,” including Austin, Texas, and Oakland, California. The establishment and success of these task forces were directly and necessarily tied to the visionary work of local coalitions that — over many years — laid the groundwork for tangible, groundbreaking impact. This webinar will highlight the perspectives of task force members/facilitators and local coalition members from Austin and Oakland to present lessons learned and share opportunities to support the implementation of critical recommendations that truly reimagine public safety.
