Free Class: Understanding the Constitution

Posted on by

Professor John Davidson from the UO will be leading, however it is less of a lecture and more of an interactive discussion.

This weekly class will be held with John Davidson from the UO. The intention is to break the Constitution down so that average citizen can understand what it means and what it means in their lives. Thinking about how a governing document might serve the People better, what mistakes and victories throughout history got us to where we are now, what our rights are to change laws and legislation, and how we might go about making our ideas for change a reality? Any and all ideas for discussion around this topic are welcome. We expect a variety of teachers and community members to be leading these weekly classes as they continue. Open to the public. If you would like to submit ideas for future classes, please post to the forum at: http://occupyeugenemedia.org/discussion/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=551

POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER AND POOR TRAVEL CONDITIONS!!!!

Where: Reality Kitchen, 245 Van Buren, Eugene.

When: Sunday, January 15, 1 – 3 pm.

In collaboration with Good Grief America and Reality Kitchen, Occupy Eugene Neighborhood Actions will be having a teach-in and discussion on the foreclosure crisis and what it means for residents of Eugene, OR.

The presentation will be provided by Nancie Koerber of Good Grief America, who has been helping families in Oregon for several years.

Eugene residents will learn how the banks make more money foreclosing rather than working with people and how they can keep their homes.

The event includes 80 minutes of interactive teach-in on the foreclosure crisis and how it is siphoning our economy and the strategic actions to stop and hold Wall Street accountable.

The next 20 minutes will be in breakout sessions on issues participants want to work on in their community, and the last 20 minutes will be reports from the groups and calls to action.
