So Much Together: Unpacking Our Past: History as a Catalyst for Change
Oregon has a particularly unique history of racial injustice that in some ways mirrors and in other ways is distinct from the larger history of racial oppression that exists in our nation as a whole. As Oregonians, we’ve inherited these histories, and their legacies connect to present-day injustices. But what does it look like to confront them, as individuals and communities? And beyond that, how might we come together to shape those histories being written today?
12:30 to 3:30 p.m., Historic Alberta House, Portland

So Much Together: Getting to the Root of It: Growing Movements from the Ground Up

So Much Together: As Often as the Bold: Fear, Community, Movement, and Change
Fear is central to our human experience, a powerful force that extends beyond our individual lives into political and cultural realms. In an uncertain world, the opportunities for fear to take root and spread are infinite. In this So Much Together workshop, we take a non-judgmental approach to fear, viewing it not as our enemy—but as a catalyst for self-discovery and transformation.
12:30 to 3:30 p.m., Historic Alberta House, Portland
