Now we can build on that momentum. \nNext Steps\n1. Register for the November 16th gathering\n2. Forward this email to others who should join \nALL.TOGETHER.NOW.\nFrom Hyper-Individualism to Radical Collaboration \nOur Ashland region faces shared challenges–housing shortages\, budget constraints\, economic uncertainty\, climate threats\, educational pressures\, political divides\, etc. \nFor several months\, a group of community leaders has been meeting to explore how we can face these challenges head-on while building connection and resilience throughout Southern Oregon. \nThe October 6th event with Professor powell represented the first public step in this multi-year\, multi-generational\, multi-cultural\, collaboration to strengthen our community.  We’re starting with Ashland during our first year\, out ultimate hope is to branch out to our neighbors in Talent and Phoenix\, ensuring we can create concrete and lasting solutions together. \nALL.TOGETHER.NOW.’s growing list of community partners: \nAshland Climate Collaborative\, Ashland School District\,\nAshland Together\, Ashland.news\, Black Southern Oregon Alliance\,\nCity of Ashland\, Common Ground Conversations\, Ford Family Foundation\,\nGordon Elwood Foundation\, Oregon Community Foundation\,\nOregon Shakespeare Festival\, Rogue Community Health\,\nSouthern Oregon Success\, Southern Oregon University\,\nUnited Way of Jackson County \nThe institutional home for All.Together.Now. is Southern Oregon Success.

SUMMARY:How Do You Reconcile a Lynching? A Story of Justice and Redemption
DESCRIPTION:The event will focus on the life and legacy of Alonzo Tucker\, Oregon’s most documented African American lynching victim\, and the efforts to seek justice and reconciliation. Stewart will share insights on confronting historical injustices and fostering community healing. \n“This story is not just about reconciliation; it’s about finding a way to heal and foster hope in our communities\,” Stewart explains. “By confronting these painful narratives\, we can begin to foster understanding and pave the way for a more just future.” \nGabi Johnsen\, founder of Grants Pass Remembrance Project (GPRP) and Community Engagement Director of ORP\, will join the discussion. A Q&A session will follow. The Ashland Sunrise Project invites community members\, educators\, and advocates to take part in this conversation on historical justice in Oregon. \nRegister Below \nTaylor Stewart is the Founder and Executive Director of the Oregon Remembrance Project (ORP). He is a lifelong Portlander and graduated from UP in 2018 with a degree in Communication and a Master’s in Social Work from PSU in 2021. Stewart started ORP in 2018 to help communities unearth stories of injustice and engage in the necessary truth telling and repair required to reconcile instances of historical harm. His work connects historical racism to its present-day legacies in order to inspire contemporary racial justice action. In what started as simply a way to memorialize an African American lynching victim named Alonzo Tucker\, Stewart has grown to see the power of reconciliation to rectify further instances of historical injustice. \nGabrielle Johnsen is the Community Engagement Director with Oregon Remembrance Project and a core caretaker of Grants Pass Remembrance (the Sunrise Project in her community of Grants Pass).  She has collaborated with Taylor Stewart since 2020 in the development of the Sunrise Project.  This work embodies much of what she cares about – racial reconciliation\, learning and growing together with neighbors\, and supporting opportunities to see and hear the “others” in our lives and communities!\n  \n\n\n\nDirections and parking \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFROM NORTHBOUND 1-5: \nTake exit 14 and turn left onto Ashland Street/Hwy 66.\nContinue on Ashland Street to Siskiyou Blvd (where all traffic must turn right).\nTake the first left onto Indiana Street.\nThere are free one hour parking spaces behind the Museum.

SUMMARY:Building Post-Election Common Ground
DESCRIPTION:The Ashland Sunrise Project (ASP) announces “Building Post-Election Common Ground\,” the fourth presentation in its speaker series. This event will take place on November 12\, 2024\, from 6:30 – 8:00 pm at Carpenter Hall\, 44 S. Pioneer\, Ashland. \n“Building Post-Election Common Ground” is a conversation between Mike and Emily Green co-founders of Common Ground Conversations on Race (CGC)\, \, Taylor Stewart\, founder of the Oregon Remembrance Project\, and host Tara Houston\, Community and Engagement Manager\, Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF). \nThe post-election narrative in this nation\, regardless of who wins\, will be of key importance. Political messaging and media play a significant role in the influence of perspectives nationwide. \nIn this talk\, Mike & Emily Green will introduce paradigm-shifting new knowledge and understanding of racial dynamics in American society today through an informed lens of historical context. \nAre there issues that can build a common ground of understanding? Yes! But note the nuance. Developing an understanding among people who disagree doesn’t mean they will find agreement. Our focus is to establish a common ground of knowledge and understanding\, not necessarily agreement. \n“Developing an understanding among people who disagree doesn’t mean they will find agreement.” Mike Green \nThe evening’s conversation will highlight how we can build a common ground of understanding. \nMike Green is a nationally known cultural economist\, author\, speaker\, and radio host. Emily Green has a background in social work\, specializing in wraparound services for families in distress. Mike and Emily are married co-founders of Common Ground Conversations on Race in America (CGC)\, which provides a trademarked “Conversations Journey” process that has a four-year record of success with institutional and organizational clients\, such as: municipalities\, police departments\, K-12 school districts and higher education\, county library systems\, community organizations and evangelical churches. \n  \nASP is a truth and reconciliation coalition addressing our community’s history as a Sundown Town. Reconciliation includes remembrance: understanding the harm that was caused; repair: putting an end to harm as it continues today; and redemption: creating good from a story of harm. \nAshland Sunrise Project\, a part of Oregon Remembrance Project (ORP)\, aims to help former sundown towns develop new identities as “sunrise communities\,” the opposite of a sundown town. Sunrise communities are places in which everyone can feel safe\, respected\, and can call home. \nAshland Sunrise Project is an Ashland Together Initiative in partnership with the Oregon Remembrance Project. We thank the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for venue support of this event. This program was made possible in part by a grant from Oregon Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities. \nAny views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this event\, do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities \n
