Who owns Lane County’s forests, and how have they changed over time? How does forest management, on both public and private land, benefit and impact Lane County residents? Can we sustain the forest, and all its many benefits?
The forest is central to our regional identity, ecology, and economy. Competing public and private interests have driven growth, decline, and political division for decades. In a series of five discussions, join public interest forester Roy Keene, and ArchitectureWeek editor-in-chief Kevin Matthews as they explore the past, present, and future of our forests with a depth and openness rarely seen.

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

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.

Saturday night at 8:30 New Year’s Eve come one come all and meet up in Free Speech Plaza for an “opposites” march. They will be carrying silly signs saying, “Greed is good” or “Save the Economy; Shop til you Drop” or “the Family that Shops Together Stays Together” or whatever.
Periodically, these 1%ers will shout out their Resolutions for the New Year “As CEO I promise to double my salary this year and increase stock earnings by 50%. In order to do this, I promise to cut all employee salaries by 30% and stop carrying emmployee health care”. The march will hit the downtown hot spots before marchers go off to revel with the 99%ers.
