Peace and Justice
Iraqi Children's Campaign:
The Iraqi Children's Campaign is designed to create empathy and understanding for all children affected by wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The goal of this campaign is to keep images like this in front of the public, reminding all of us that innocent children are in harm's way.
These children are no different from our children.

Global Warming
LNG:
By this time no one doubts the danger of global warming. Here in Oregon the most immediate threat comes from the effort to establish and institutionalize increased dependence on foreign fossil fuels by creating three Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminals and 4 related pipelines. This infrastructure threatens to destroy wild and protected habitats, dispossess thousands of landowners of their property through eminent domain and commits Oregon to fifty more years of dirty, socially unacceptable energy.

Old-Growth Forests
W.O.P.R.:
Known as the Western Oregon Plan Revisions, these plans would dramatically increase clearcut logging in currently protected old-growth and streamside forests on federal lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
Under a new interpretation of the law, the BLM places timber production above all other uses, including clean water, wildlife habitat, fish and recreation. Within a decade, W.O.P.R. would result in over 1000 miles of new logging roads and 140,000 acres of clearcuts polluting our waters, degrading important habitat, and negatively impacting salmon and other fish species.
