Call out for LNG help

Hello PDX LNG Working Group :

We are very excited about the LNG bill that is being drafted for the 2009 legislative session and now we need your support!

I will provide below a brief description of the bill and am attaching the current bill summary for you all to look over if you like.

In order to gain support from legislators and representatives we are hoping to supply them with a long list of Oregon residents who support the passage of this bill. Please consider endorsing this bill -- it's simple, just add your name to a growing list of supporters and we will take care of the rest! I am hoping to have this list together by November 10th so please respond promptly.

If you would like to add your name to a list of folks throughout Oregon who are supporting government representatives in passing this bill, please reply to oliviariver@gmail.com and include the following information:

Your Name
Your home address (not mailing)
Your occupation

I am hoping to gather upwards of 200 names for this effort and would greatly appreciate y'all taking the time to respond.

In the near future I will be following up this effort by organizing folks to contact their current (and elected) representatives and legislators -- keep your eye out for that request in mid November. At that time I will provide contact information and talking points for conversations with legislators who can make a difference by supporting the passage of this bill.

Current title and description of LNG bill:

Ensuring Public Benefits in Liquid Natural Gas Permitting

This bill is not an outright ban of LNG in Oregon, but it requires certain considerations and protections be assured in the siting of LNG infrastructure. The bill clarifies and strengthens the authority of state agencies in the LNG siting process.

Three key requirements laid out in the current draft include:
1) State of Oregon must prove a need for the specific LNG terminal prior to granting the right to any natural resources that exist in the public trust (ie water rights, land leases or dredge/fill in wetlands)

2)Protects natural resource values from degradation due to operation of terminals
(ie water quality and health of fisheries)

3)Protects communities by prohibiting siting of LNG terminals where high-sensitivity structures exist within the federally recognized fire-zone (ie schools, hospitals, elder care facilities)

I greatly appreciate all of your support in this effort and all that you do to fight LNG and related pipelines in Oregon and Southern Washington!

Please reply soon with your endorsement of this very important legislation -- let's keep the Pacific NW free of LNG!


Feel free to contact me with questions.

Movie night at the Green House Collective

Hi lovelys,

Thanks to all who came to share in our vision last week. We wanted to let you in the past we had not been meeting on the last Thursday of each month, but beginning next week this is not the case. Next Thursday begins our first Open Mic Night at the GHC. Like all events this is substance free as well.

This week at the GHC we will be showing "A Force More Powerful." Here is what the website has to say about the film:

A Force More Powerful explores how popular movements battled entrenched regimes and military forces with weapons very different from guns and bullets. Strikes, boycotts, and other actions were used as aggressive measures to battle opponents and win concessions. Petitions, parades, walkouts and demonstrations roused public support for the resisters. Forms of non-cooperation including civil disobedience helped subvert the operations of government, and direct intervention in the form of sit-ins, nonviolent sabotage, and blockades have frustrated many rulers' efforts to suppress people.

The historical results were massive: tyrants toppled, governments overthrown, occupying armies impeded, and political systems that withheld human rights shattered. Entire societies were transformed, suddenly or gradually, by nonviolent resistance that destroyed opponents' ability to control events. These events and the ideas underlying nonviolent action are the focus of this three-hour documentary production.

The series begins in 1907 with a young Mohandas Gandhi, the most influential leader in the history of nonviolent resistance, as he rouses his fellow Indians living in South Africa to a nonviolent struggle against racial oppression. The series recounts Gandhi's civil disobedience campaign against the British in India; the sit-ins and boycotts that desegregated downtown Nashville, Tennessee; the nonviolent campaign against apartheid in South Africa; Danish resistance to the Nazis in World War II; the rise of Solidarity in Poland; and the momentous victory for democracy in Chile. A Force More Powerful also introduces several extraordinary, but largely unknown individuals who drove these great events forward.

YEAH FOR NON-VIOLENCE!!!

What: Vegan Potluck at 5:30, film begins at 7pm
Where: THE GHC 4407 SE Tibbetts St, conveniently located of Clinton St Bike superhighway, bus lines 4, 9, 75, and 14 (please go by pedal power or public transportation or commute with other Green House folks)

City of Portland goes Sweatshop Free

*Portland passes the First Sweatshop Free Ordinance in the Pacific Northwest*
*Proactive policy will help ensure taxpayer dollars are not spent on
sweatshop labor*

At yesterday's Portland City Council meeting, Wednesday, October 15, at 9:30 a.m., the Portland Sweatshop Free Purchasing Policy passed unanimously. The policy requires city agencies to procure public employee uniforms and other apparel only from those companies that disclose the locations of their manufacturing facilities and abide by ethical sourcing practices. Portland is the first city in the Pacific Northwest to adopt an ordinance for sweatshop free purchasing.

The policy has been promoted by the Portland Sweatfree Campaign, endorsed by 45 organizations, including labor, faith, and community organizations. On August 29, 2007, the Portland Sweatfree Campaign presented a resolution that City Council passed unanimously. The resolution established the Portland Sweatshop Free Policy Committee, which met regularly to craft the policy presented to City Council today. Community testimonies were shared by Arthur Stamoulis from the Oregon Fair Trade Campaign, Ed Hall-Vice President of the Portland Fighter Fighters Association Local 43, Rev. Kate Lore of First Unitarian Church-Portland, J. Ashlee Albies from the National Lawyers Guild, Jeff Baer the Chief Procurement Official for the Portland Bureau of Purchases, and Bjorn Cleason - Executive Director of SweatFree Communities,
read by Elizabeth Swager- Coordinator of Sweatfree NW.

The Portland Sweatfree Policy established a strong code of conduct for garment workers that make uniforms for city police, firefighters and other uniform wearing public employees. As former sweatshop worker Chie Abad testified at last year's hearing to pass the resolution, "Inside the factory, we had not ventilation at all. We drank rain water. And we had a quota system that we had to finish every hour. I also used to live in a squalid, unsanitary, overcrowded barrack. And most of all, women are fired if they got pregnant." The code of conduct addresses human rights violations such as these by requiring the adherence of local labor laws, ILO and UN
Conventions and codes of conduct including, but not limited to, freedom of association, health and safety on the job and just cause termination.

Commissioner Sam Adams said, "This is a start." While today's policy covers only apparel, Adams expressed his intention to eventually expand the policy to cover the many other items the City purchases. Commissioner Randy Leonard expressed particular appreciation for the policy's recognition of workers' rights to free association and collective union bargaining.

Ed Hall, a member of the Portland Sweatfree Policy Drafting Committee said, "As a firefighter I took an oath to protect the people who live and work in Portland from fires and disasters of all origins. Whether it is responding to emergencies or working to prevent them, we are committed to public safety. So it is important to me that the uniform I wear is made by a company that shares these values and is committed to safe, decent working conditions and fair wages. By establishing a policy that rules out companies that use child labor, abuse their workers and fail to pay a fair wages, I believe a real difference will be made in the lives of those who produce the uniforms we wear. I know we can do better than buying our goods and services from sweatshops, and I expect our City Commissioners agree."

Gavin White, a Democratic Party activist said, "In adopting this policy, Portland renews its commitment as a founding member of the State and Local Government Sweatfree Consortium. Consortium participants pool their purchasing power to create economies of scale and make a viable market for sweatfree manufacturing. In this emerging global market, we will build long-term relationships with responsible suppliers by working with local experts around the world to correct labor-rights violations."

AUTHOR READING: Knowing Pains: Women on Love, Sex and Work in Our 40's
This Month: October 30th Stories by three local writers, Ana Ammann,
Kym Croft Miller and Natalie Serber, have made their way into a new
book, "Knowing Pains: Women on Love, Sex and Work in Our 40s". The
works of these Portlanders were chosen from nearly 100 submissions as
contributions to the humorous, thoughtful and diverse collection of
essays by real women from across the country who, as the book's
subtitle suggests, are "old enough to know better, but young enough to
do something about it." From tattoos to affairs; motherhood to mayhem;
alcoholism to eating disorders – and everything in between – the
book's real women in their 40s aren't afraid to tell it like it is.

Ana Ammann is a business consultant, published music journalist and
advocate of women in the arts – coordinating Portland's "Support Women
Artists Now" (SWAN) Day celebration, and contributing to the
leadership of the Siren Nation Festival and Portland Women's Film
Festival (POW Fest). Ammann writes about rediscovering her passion for
music after helping to organize the first Rock & Roll Camp for Girls
in Portland in Strung Together.

Kym Croft Miller has produced articles for Portland Monthly Magazine
and The Northwest Earth Institute, in addition to teaching
poetry/writing workshops in Portland schools and the Oregon Writing
Festival. In her thoughtful essay, Miller shares how she and her
husband survived their "Who Had the Worst Day" contest.

Natalie Serber has received several awards for her writing, including
the Tobias Wolff Award for Fiction and the John Steinbeck Award for
Fiction. In My Hair Experiment, Serber shares her experience of
saying "no" to vanity and "yes" to grey hair - learning more about
herself than she anticipated along the way. She is currently working
on her first novel.

Of the 32 essayists featured in the book, almost all have been touched
by this debilitating disease in some way:
89% have been personally impacted by the breast cancer epidemic.
37% have had breast cancer, or a breast cancer scare.
56% have had a family member with the disease; and more than 70% have
had a friend or colleague afflicted.

100% of all Knowing Pains profits will be donated to Breast Cancer
Action (www.bcaction.org) to support breast cancer education and
advocacy.

LNG Update

Hello OCAPers and anti-LNGers:

This is an urgent call to action!

As many of you know, for the past several months the Water Resources
Department (WRD) has been considering an application from
NorthernStar/Bradwood Landing to take 15 Billion Gallons of water from the
Columbia River in it's first year. The WRD will also be responsible for
issuing permits for the continual use of 12 Billion gallons of water during
every year of Bradwood LNG operation. As a part of that application the
Oregon Department of Fish &Wildlife must make a determination on the impact
of that water right to fish in the affected area of the river.

*We believe that the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) is poised
and ready to claim that NorthernStar's removal of billions of gallons of
water will not have a detrimental impact to fish. They are making this
evaluation based on inadequate information about the method by which that
water will be screened in an area that is crucial habitat for salmon.* The
information provided to that agency is that same information currently being
challenged by the State of Oregon, State of Washington, Columbia Riverkeeper
and Columbia Inter-Tribal Fish Commission as being incomplete in the EIS for
Bradwood Landing. The possibility of this move by the ODFW is completely out
of synch with Governor Kulongoski and the State of Oregon that are
petitioning for a rehearing by FERC based on the fact that the analsyis done
for this project is incomplete.

Please read the action alert and sample email below and contact the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife today! They could make this decision at any
time within the next couple of weeks and they need to hear from you!
*Contact information for key decision makers are included in the alert
below.*

Thanks to all of you for responding to this call to action and for your
tireless efforts to protect our waterways and fish habitat from this
devastating project!
